Good clean cut, very sharp. In my small shop I don't have room for a large router table or router, so I use a table saw and my small router with a cabinet door notcher. We are currently renovating our own kitchen. The first batch of doors used an old carbide drill and the result was the expected chipping and messy cuts. Let me tell you that I am more than a little happy with this purchase. Much better results as it cleans up everything I'm going through. Simply a quality hit.
