My new $80 flush trim bit just saved a whole kitchen job
I was working on a set of maple face frames and my old bit was leaving a tiny ridge that meant extra sanding on every joint. I kept putting off buying a new one because, you know, it's just a bit. Finally bit the bullet and got a high quality one with a bearing on both ends. The difference was night and day. It cut clean and left a perfect edge right off the router. What would have been hours of hand work with a block plane and sandpaper turned into a quick pass. I think it paid for itself on that one job alone. Anyone have a favorite brand for router bits they swear by?

Oh man, I know that feeling. I put off replacing my old Freud bits for way too long. Finally grabbed a Whiteside spiral bit for some plywood edges and it was like cutting butter, zero tear-out. That smooth finish right off the tool is just the best.
