Great bit Apr 04, 2010
By Fish

Bought this to cut ball type feet for tables (red oak); a lot of the cut is end grain. This Freud bit really cut cleanly (I wasn't using the smaller blades that create the step profile, just the round over portion). Freud didn't make a bearing-less profile for the other cut.
So for this project I bought a CMT bit to cut the inner radius and though new, it did not cut near as cleanly as the Freud. It cut better than my used 3/4 bit, but that one has been used for cutting phenolic and the corners are chipped off it. I've never been able to truly compare different brand bits as I never used more than one new bit at a time until now. I was pleasantly surprised to see how the Freud cut better because I always suspected they were better than most others I've used.
I have a number of CMT bits and think they are good; the new one was sharp enough to cut my finger just lifting it up into the machine mounted router, but most of my bits are Freud. They are sharp and stay that way a long time... if you don't cut phenolic.
Good smooth cut Nov 04, 2011
By R. herzog I once read an interesting product blurb on the Freud "quadra" cutters that explained how half the blades cut "up" while the other half cut "down" to improve smoothness. However they do it - it works.
If you're wanting to do full-radius "bullnose" finishing on "2-by" stock - here's your product. One pass on each side (it's a deep cut - don't go too fast...) and done. Smooth burnished cut that didn't need further sanding for my application.
This is an expensive bit. It's worth it.

Another flawless cut. Time saver, requires very little sanding prior to finishing. I own a few Freud Quadra Cut bits & will purchase more.
