Review on Freud 1 27 Dia Shank 99 007 by Flavio Scarola

It's a crazy MONSTER buzzing router bits! I'm sure my neighbors heard it a quarter mile away. So you better have a big solid buzz cutter to handle it and you better be a man or at least a woman with some spiritual connections. I consider myself a fairly advanced carpenter. I have made many closets. and some furniture such as kitchen trolleys and coffee tables. hard maple. but I wouldn't say it's a family heirloom just yet. I don't have a permanent store, just a garage, so I guess I'm a weekend warrior. I'm just sharing this so you can compare your level to mine. Anyway, I used this bit in my Bosch router that mounts on my Bosch router table to bevel cut the key joints for 7 Nuel posts out of 1" thick red oak. 52 in. long, lots of joints! This isn't a Nominal thickness, actual true thickness is 1" and red oak is quite hard and can be a bit brittle when cut so I think this is a good test. There are definitely harder woods out there but pine I haven't put together. This was my first time I used an angle cutter and I think it went well. The connectors fit effortlessly and close tightly. I glued one this afternoon. I'll let you know if it's not perfect, but it looks pretty good from what I did The wood was bought rough sawn then smack each piece along one edge with a jointer to get a nice straight square edge then cut to width on a table saw the. Then the cutter comes into play. different techniques. The mounting blocks didn't suit me because of the non-standard thickness. Fasteners appear to be made for 3/4 or 1/2 bearings. I think even if you used a setting block you should still make trial cuts to prove it's correct. I just made cuts until I got it right and made very small adjustments in height and depth until the connection was right. In any case, I plan on grinding or beating it with a small radius to finish the edge. Once you've got it right DO NOT MOVE THE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT or move the stop until you have marked the final position so you can return to it! However, I noted the position of the stop and then set it to a shallower depth. Incision. At first I tried about half depth but there was a lot of chatter. This drill bit cuts large pieces of wood and my shop vacuum wasn't very good at getting them out of the cutting area so they were being pulled back into the cutting head and wreaking havoc! I ended up doing the mitres in 4 passes. Yes, more time but no chatter and nice even cuts. Trust me, you don't want wavy cuts! It makes it easy. I found that the shop vacuum at the top outlet helped keep the cutting area clean, but the vast majority of the chips went into the base of the router table. Had to clean all 6 times. It's more up to my router table than this bit, so no stars are lost. After each pass, I moved the fence back a little. The final cut was about 1/8" from the stop, which was pretty easy. I wanted it to be such that it made a nice smooth cut. Try to make that fine cut in one smooth pass. Want to . Don't do that. I've tried. I know. A smooth and neat final pass. Perfecto! After 7 red oak posts, 52" long, 8 ribs per post, 4 passes per edge. this is 7 x 4 x 8 x 52" = 11648" cut. or 971 ft. almost 0.2 km. God I didn't think it was that much! In any case, the final cuts are smooth. Fast. Neato, good beat, Bravo, Freud!
