Title: Bad Bit
Review: A brand new Freud 3/8 router bit just exploded on me. RPM approx 20k. Going into 9/16 of Ash. No knots, no nails etc. I called Freud and they asked me to reuturn it for them to see what the matter was. In the meantime, wanting to get on with the job, I purchased another one - thinking that last one must have been a fluke. I used a piece of Alder to get the depth set right, and to test the cut. To my horror it exploded again. Using a Porter Cable 890 plunge router. Bit tightly chucked. I did notice - prior to use of both first and second bits that there were slight notches in the cutting edge. They were very symmetrical so I thought they were part of the design. I don't see them on the pictures in Amazon though.
