I am a professional electrician who enjoys woodworking as a hobby and hobby. I own and use many pieces by Freud and have never had a problem with any of them. Top quality for the money. I have and use many other cheap bits as well as you can buy a whole set for a lot less than two big brands. However, the bits I use the most are usually Freud, Amana, SMT, and Bosch. Keep the field clean and they will last a long time. The cheap ones tend to dull whether they're clean or not and I don't think it's worth sharpening for the money. I bought this cut to use on the edges of the plywood to keep a clean edge at the top under the router.
