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

I was able to complete the job i needed it for. But...I ran it at its recommend rpm and got alot of burning and the blade went dull fast or was very dull to start with. Felt like I got a bad since it was burning the wood from the time I started to use it. Freud bits are suppose to be nice and I plan to give them a second chance on another bit since this is the first freud bit I have purchased.

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.

broke halfway through my first project, everything seemed fine then snap..... idk

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.

Ummm the attached label says 1/4 straight 1/4 shank BUT its a Bevel Trim bit 8 degree as the manufacturers label says. Now what?

Nice tool, except it is NOT .25 inch. Measures .245. So if you need precision, find something else.

I guess the old bits were pretty bad! Cant believe the difference in the cut quality Im getting...

great quality!!

bad

Used bit in pine for dovetail work. Needed the longer shank for the dovetail jig. Clean cuts. Little to no splintering. Went slow. No concern about breaking. Cut 8 corners, did not overheat.
