I used a 3/4" bit to cut a 1/4" deep dado out of maple plywood for closet shelving. The cut is very clean, with only a little lint from the veneer, which is easy to sand. For my particular plywood, the dados were very tight. Next time I'll adjust the bracket, making sure to make a second pass on the other side of the cut to give the shelf a little more room. I also used a 1/4" bit to cut large holes in some 4" plywood. Worked great - cut wood like clockwork. There was quite a bit of veneer lint on the 1/4" bit, but these are medium straight bladed bits so I'm not too picky about their cuts. As others have pointed out, Freud's cutting tools are downright dangerous. The bits are so sharp and the bits are so tight in the case that sometimes I get nervous trying to pull them out. carefully. I smeared the shaft of the bit with silicone to make it easier to remove, but the cases are too tight. DO NOT attempt to remove the bits with your bare hands as this may damage them.
