Everything you expect from the brand for DIY
I know pros that use this brand of bits. For DIY, some would consider these expensive. I use it in my introductory level CNC router, router table and my handheld routers. Sometimes a straight bit works best, especially in soft woods, ply, or MDF. It really works well with a router guide on the router table when working hard woods. There's a lot of information available on how to use routers safely in all wood types.This one is definitely worth the price.

Worked as expected.
Used bit in pine for dovetail work. Needed the longer shank for the dovetail jig. Clean cuts. Little to no splintering. Went slow. No concern about breaking. Cut 8 corners, did not overheat.

Slightly smaller than 1/4"
I purchased this for a CNC router. I measure all my endmills prior to using them and this one came in just shy of the stated 1/4." To me this is not an issue because I always enter the real diameter of the endmill into my CAM software. I have never found an endmill that has been exactly to specifications advertised, but I do not purchase $100+ endmills because for what I do, the software corrects for inaccuracies in the diameter. This endmill works great on hardwoods and plywood. I prefer the straight flute type for wood because I do not get any tear-out and this one leaves a nice clean finish. It also works great at cutting HDPE plastic.

Works very well on walnut in my CNC router
I bought this to use in my CNC router for projects where I need to hog out some deep voids (e.g., in the back of a clock for the clockworks), and it works very well. There is a gap on the end between the two cutting edges, so you can't plunge straight in with this bit, but a reasonably shallow ramp or spiral works very well. Nice clean cut in walnut (which is all I've used it on thus far).

Smooth
Doing research, I saw that all the various Freud bits have great reviews. This is my first purchase of the brand and I can now understand why the company has such high ratings on its products. I haven't done much routing, but this produces the smoothest/easiest cuts while using the router that I can remember.
