Review on πŸ”§ Freud Bearing Flush Shank 42 114: The Ultimate Tool for Precise and Flawless Woodworking by Matt Heringer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Screw problem still unresolved

Freud still hasn't solved the problem that so many people have with this nozzle. After about 15 minutes of using this tool to cut OSB siding around window openings, the stock fell off. The screw was tight when I started using it. I restored the screw and bearing but not the bushing. There is Loctite on the screw. There is no reason to continue this with humans. Also, don't expect to have to check a screw for tightness every five minutes. I will contact Freud and see if they endorse their products. UPDATE: I've increased my rating from 1 to 3 stars. The product still has issues, but Freud's customer service has been top notch. I contacted Freud and they quickly sent me a new part after just a few emails back and forth. I will remove the screw on it and add Loctite before using it. I hope this keeps him alive for a long time.

Pros
  • This is amazing
