🔧 Freud 75 108: Superior 2 Inch Diameter 2 Flute for Precision Woodworking Review

I used this cutter to cut a total of nine 4" long, 1 1/4" deep slots in chair legs. This was his first assignment. Even with slow, shallow cuts (4-5) for each slot, the tips broke at the 8th slot. I really "babbled" the beat and it still broke. I always thought Freud was the leading brand but this will be the last piece of Freud I buy. They are too expensive to throw away.

Bought this milling cutter for milling. In the week I've had it, it's cut sheets from 1/2" CDX plywood, curved jigs cut from 1/2" birch plywood, grooves for hidden joist hangers cut from 4x6 old-growth cedar and is still just about as it is sharp as unpacked. All cuts were very clean, full depth on plywood cuts and 1/8 inch deep on solid. I will definitely buy it again.

These spiral cutters are best for groove or deep groove cuts as they are better at removing debris from the cut. They perform much better in these applications than traditional straight flute cutters which do not efficiently remove debris and result in a slower cut and more heat build-up on the cutter, leading to faster edge dulling and reduced cutter life. This bur delivers the same high quality of cut and finish as most Freud burs. It's worth paying extra for.
