Freud Dia Mortising Shank 16 106 Review

I bought this to cut an 88 x 42 x 4.5 inch thick sheet of maple. I didn't really think it would hold the blade through the 2.5" maple I had to take off, but to my surprise, even with deep and aggressive cuts, it held its blade and didn't burn the wood.

Great product! I cut six 12' X 15' boards (both sides) with no problems. I've cut some boards 1/4" deep or more. Easily cuts through hardwoods like oak, cherry, and mahogany. Knots with no problems.

I'm new to working with a router. I thought it was just hard. until I bought this. The wood shavings it produces are amazing, but this piece is like antimatter. I used a flat, wide inlay with a solid base router and a huge DIY base plate (to completely cover the template). This was done in 3 minutes. We are in love 😍

I bought this attachment for a reason to use it in my Festool MFK700. It works great and fits without any issues or modifications as the MFK700's horizontal base has some weird space limitations. This is the only part that will fit if you are not modifying the Horz. Basis, with the exception of Festool, which is much more expensive. Otherwise it's good, sharp and cuts well.

good economical way to level wooden boards. Plunge only about 1/16 in the direction of the project at a time and only cut about 1/3-1/2 the drill bit size. Don't dive into the project, always start from the outside. I have used on many different woods (oak, maple, pear, mulberry, walnut, cherry) and have also finished parts with epoxy with no problems. Leaves a nice smooth surface that is easy to sand.

It amazes me that the stores that now sell this undersized (and in my opinion substandard) plywood don't stock these bits in the store. I'm grateful for their immediate availability on Revain AND to everyone who viewed this snippet. The reviews are right: that's exactly what you buy it for. I'm only halfway through with my project, but so far the cuts have been crisp, clean, and true to size. I'll work with this little guy until he stops slicing butter. I'm very glad I made the purchase and…

Bit appears to have lost its sharpness after about 15 linear feet into MDF. First off I'm new to routing so this could be caused by me. I had to run a duct about 15 feet from the MDF shelves. The punch got so hot that if I stopped for a moment the wood would burn out in about 20 inches. Speed was kept below the maximum rated 24,000 rpm. The channel was only 3/8 inch deep. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if I need to find a better piece. Open to suggestions.

Wired that I was asked to use clarity, thickness and warmth in the cutter review, but here it is. I gave it a transparency star because it's totally opaque (it's a cutter). As for the thickness, I gave 3 stars as it seems thick enough for a cutter. Awarded three stars for warmth due to the fact that it's a metal part that absorbs the temperature around it when not in use. It's a good cutter, but I'd look elsewhere for clarity, thickness, and warmth.

I've been a Diablo/Freud fan since my first Diablo saw. I was about to quit woodworking because my table saw cuts were terrible, I had a Skil saw with Skil blades. It worked but the gap was terrible. I tried to increase the number of teeth, I took an Irwin blade, traces of Nasty Burn appeared on the blade itself, leaving traces of burn on each cut. At this point I almost gave up. Then I decided to pay a little more and try the powder coated Diablo blades. Every haircut was professional quality!
