Freud Bearing Flush Shank 50 118 Review

I got this to get straight edges on my boards. Super cool racket, very strong, very sharp. So far I'm very impressed! I will update later when I use it for a long time.

This bit was boring and pretty awful right out of the box. Not sharp enough to cut 1/16 inch softwood without significant tearing. Very disappointing and waste of money. Next time I will choose the best brands.
