For the price they are great for what I need as a homeowner. I just bought a new router and needed to round off some corners but couldn't justify the high price of the Freuds as I'm such a beginner, but I didn't want junk either. They were the perfect intermediate and precisely cut 3/4 plywood and 1/2 pressure treated timber floor. In general I would say I mainly used 2 medium sized routers on about 60ft of material where I either machined 1-3 sides but sometimes also the front and back of the boards (so maybe 1-3x2). In any case, they're still sharp and I'm glad I have that ability now.
