Does anyone use Freud bits?

[jdwykrent]

I picked up a freud double compression bit (.5 dia) yesterday. I was wondering if anyone has run this bit or any other freud bits for that matter.

Where can I find chip load information for inputting the new bit into vcarve?

I have used their bearing flush trim bits on my manual router table and I like them.

I tried a few Freud bits in the bot a long time ago, they didn't last long (dulled fast and ran hot). I tried several feeds/speeds but nothing seemed to make them run well.

I only use them in my hand held or router table.

I have used them on the bot for rails, stiles and raised panels. The cut was great. I cant speak to longevity as I have only run maybe 100 bf. :(

I have used them with no good luck at all
