Review on 🔪 Freud Radius 19 102 Carving Shank by Bill Russett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

smooth cutting insert suitable for power tool parts and accessories

Due to an error on the Amazon website it seems to be placed under other router bits as well - sorry for any confusion. I have owned this bit for several months and have found it to be well balanced and clean cut. I've used it in 120v battery powered routers with good results. (The cordless cutter is actually an 18-volt Bosch Rotozip.) The diameter and radius make it suitable for small-scale work (most other circle cutters have a 1/4-inch radius, not 1/8-inch like this one). Another advantage of the small size. is that it works well by hand without moving the router too far to the side unless the cuts are too deep. Like most Freud cutters, it's not cheap, but it's worth the price.

Pros
  • router bits
Cons
  • unreliable
