This cutter was too dull to do a good panel leveling job on hardwood. We used it for end cutting boards. Lots of micro break and ledger lines. Not even sanding could remove the pits created by this bit. But we thought it was up to us, our technique, or we were pushing the approach too much. We bought a cutter from Freud and can't believe the AMAZING difference. This bit is returned. Now I know that 2" surface drill bit is too dull to do what we need. Spend a little more and save your efforts to get a better result!
