Freud Flush Shank 50 102, Enhanced for SEO Review

I use them to make chopping board handles. does the job; However, as you would expect, when trimming hardwood, these bits are short-lived.

As this is a 5/8 diameter router "I assume" they will cut a 5/8 radius for these 5/8 rounded hinges would". NOT THAT! Not even close. Good bit, but not for mortise hinges.

Bearing stop came loose on first use. Damaged a $15 piece of maple and damaged my template. My god, a once great company like Freud can't make good cutters anymore. I see in another review that had the same problem with this bit.

I bought this to cut curves in 2x wood and it worked really well. I made my template out of MDF first, but the gap under the bearing allowed the bat to burrow into the MDF.

I followed the instructions pretty closely, set the router to the correct RPM, and tightened the assembly. I was making shallow cuts in a red oak tree when suddenly I couldn't hear the router cutting. I turn it off and grab my piece of wood and the beat is gone!

When I bought my first Ridgid R2401 laminate cutter, I decided to try the less expensive router bits (ryobi). It almost put me off routing as there were a lot of breaks with these bits etc. What do you expect from a $50 21 bit set? Then I bought a larger router, Hitachi KM12VC 11 amp, 2-1/4 hp and fixed variable speed router kit with 1/4" and 1/2" collets, bought a Freud router with 1/2" " Shank and made one last try. I was just amazed at how much better I got with Freud. So I ordered the rest…
