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

This thing was great! It went through wood like crazy! Just remember, patients. I have seen others complain about it bending. Its a 1/4 shaft! You have to take it easy or of course it will bend.

Wired that I would be prompted to use sheerness thickness and warmth in a router bit review, but here goes... I gave it one star for sheerness because its completely opaque( its a router bit). Regarding the thickness, I gave it 3 stars since it seems appropriately thick for a router bit. Gave three stars for warmth due to the fact that its a metal bit it takes on the temperature around it when not in use. Its a good router bit but, I would look elsewhere for sheerness thickness and warmth.

I love this bit. Made surfacing a cutting board easy. Like slicing butter with a hot knife.

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

I use this to profile the inside of my jewelry box cutting stepped tray supports. Works very smoothly and a super clean cut.!

Quality router but. Dados and grooves came out smooth and clean. Cuts through with little effort. Perfect for undersized 3/4 plywood.

just fine

I got this for mortising joints in 1 pine as an alternative to a much more expensive dado blade to do the same job. I have not been disappointed. The bit is extremely sharp and even after quite a bit of use (all on pine) it is just as sharp as the first time I used it. It goes great with the Bosch Colt router (thats what I use it in). I set up a board as a guide and the bit makes a perfectly clean cut exactly 3/4 wide by however deep I want (up to 1/2 deep).

Excellent router bit, well made.

This bit does the job, nice and clean. You will have to run the router at a lower speed and make a slow pass on the material, otherwise you can expect it to chatter and cause tear out.
