Freud 42-116: 1/2 (Dia.) Bearing Flush Trim Bit

As advertised

Definitely a good investment for the price. Cuts great and quality is good

This is a great quality cutter. I really like this brand and expect to purchase more. This worked well doing the kitchen sink hole on the Countertop. A nice clean cut resulted.

This is a great bit and worked well. I had one problem with it when the guide bearing froze up and I had to replace it.

It doesnt live a smooth surface

The bit is very sharp and is holding its edge well. Be careful removing it from its case. I cut my finger on the blade when I was opening it.

I used these to trim edge of sink Cut out to make flush with sinks in butcher block projects. I normally use two bits we have been doing it for 7 years the same way, jigsaw cut to about 1/4 and trim the final flush with the bit. I bought these in hopes of saving g some money from the other brand we use. Well lets just say they creat more cost then ever. The first one dulled befor doing one side of the sink. I thought of they just arent that sharp. I places the second bit and the bearing blow, chipped the sink and took a chunk out of the edge. I had to remove the sink, get it glazed and then we had to reinstall split the difference and ended up with a 1/8 revile instead of a flush set edge. I tossed the other bits as amazon would not let me return them. Stick to good brands the cost of a good bit is worth more then you think.

The bearing basically exploded with in seconds of the first use. Had to steal a bearing off a one of cheap shorter harbor freight ones which while not quite the right size, was close enough for my purposes. None of my cheap ones have ever done that. Guess thats what I get when I try to buy a better one, it ends up being crap. Did cut well, but without the bearing thats kid of pointless

It dead what I wanted it to do. Cut 2 material as followed my patterns.

Its a really long bit, so vibration is hard to manage, but, surprisingly, it works really well. I use it as a poor mans jointer and it works well.
