Freud 04-108: 1/4 (Dia.) Double Flute Straight Bit, Pack of 1, Perma-shield Coating Red

I put this bit in and it broke in less than 5 cutting 1/2. It just broke enough off to shorten the length of my bit. I tried it again later and it broke into 3 more pieces just touching the bit to the wood this time. I was unable to find one small piece for a photo. Unsure of how to contact the seller on here. My husband said it should had not broke like that way that we could had just gotten one with a fault in the metal, our cheap cheap china bits do not even do this. Very disappointed!

Doing research, I saw that all the various Freud bits have great reviews. This is my first purchase of the brand and I can now understand why the company has such high ratings on its products. I havent done much routing, but this produces the smoothest/easiest cuts while using the router that I can remember.

bit did the job, until I burnt it

This bit broke on the 4th cut, within 5 minutes of using it.

Careful! Does not make music but does the cutting of the woods. Easy to make this mistake.

In my opinion you just cant beat Freud. This bit is so much better than the craftsman bit I was using until it broke the other day. I wish the old bit had broken ages ago!

Freud solid carbide. Great product that will last as long as you do your part. ( Dont jam feed your work into it) Any 1/4 inch bit can be broken if you are careless.

good product

I do a lot of routing for a product I sell. Bit Longevity helps my bottom line and my production - this bit has it all.

Knife edge of bit sheared off after first five seconds of trying to cut into clean pine stock. No staples or nails. No metal whatsoever. I bought The Freud bits expecting their reputation to be good. I won’t be as trusting in their products from here on out.
