I would like to start by mentioning my failed attempts to find a bit of this capability at multiple reputable wood working shops--one of which is an authority on Freud products! They told me that this bit didn't exist. Anyway, I purchased this bit for use with my router table in order to make custom window stools for my basement finishing project. Production window stool stock was too narrow for the thickness of a block wall plus 2x4s and sheetrock. I did not want to join two plates, so I took wide poplar stock, planed it, and finished it off with this jewel. It cuts clean and smooth and now my custom stools match with the standard ones in the rest of the house. I plan on using the rest of my poplar stock to make some shelving for my garage and will edge it with this bit.

I purchased this router bit because I do a lot of recessed shelves in many of my bathroom remodeling projects and I needed to make my own sill nosing profiles. This bit does an excellent job and it even does a really nice job with radius sill nosing profiles. As soon as I get a trammel point for my router, I will use this router bit because my clients like how I do recessed curved shelves in their bathrooms.
