Freud 16-520: 3/4 (dia.) Mortising Bit with 1/2 shank, 2-3/32 overall length

I bought this bit for one reason to use it in my Festool MFK700 Its works great and fits with no issue or modification since the MFK700 horizontal base has some funky space limitations. This is the only bit that will fit unless you modify the Horz. base other than the festool one that costs way more. Otherwise its nice and sharp and cuts good.

Seems very durable. I used it for several hours with no apparent ware. It did a nice job.

Works extremely well. Use this for flattening slabs and it’s easily twice as fast if not three times as other small shank router bits. Fits a trim router and is stable without too much extension.

I got this for plywood rabbit joints.. This bit makes the rabbit very tight indeed. Very sharp and smooth cut.

This is a nice bit for routing dados into boards. Does not plunge holes very well tho. I know I should have got an up-cut spiral bit but I read an answer to a question on the product page saying it could plunge holes. It was burning its way through the holes before I gave up and used a drill with a fostner bit to finish the rest.I just hope I can get all the burn residue build up off the bit to use it for dado slots going forward. Its been soaking in goo-gone for a few days now so we will see...

Precise and accurat tool that retains edge and makes clean cuts repeatedly.

Regular 3/4 plywood fits perfectly in the dado with no visible gap. Have to tap longer pieces in with a rubber hammer, obviously cause no plywood is perfect. Excellent bit. Advice: If you polyurethane or paint plywood some plywood and try to get it into the dado it gets TIGHT. Still doable though.

Fantastic bit. Super sharp, smooth cutting, long shank. I swapped the stock 5/8 bearing for a 1/2 so that it is a flush cut pattern bit.

Bought this to flatten cutting boards after glue ups. In short, it works great leaving a very smooth surface. I was a little concerned with the 1/4” shank vs 1/2” but my router only accepts 1/4”. Holding up fine so far.

Ordered for a walnut slab I was leveling. Very sharp made quick work of the task
