I needed a pair of wire cutters to make a copy of my Festool MFT top. (The top of the MFT has a series of precise 20mm holes and my existing top should be used as a template.) I've used a Freud bit in the past that worked fine, but I was building a new top so decided i myself to buy a new one. one piece. However, the CMT bit is slightly smaller compared to the stock by about 0.005", which is enough to keep my metal latches out of the holes. Normally this wouldn't be a problem for most templates, but it wouldn't work in my case. also tried Amana and Whiteside bits - same thing (Whiteside says they intentionally undersized the bit so it wouldn't cut into the jig). I ended up buying another Freud bit - and that's for sure - the bearing diameter is the same as the bit diameter. So if you're looking for an accurate 1/2" flush cutter, buy Freud
