Dropped $250 on a new flush trim bit and it completely saved a big maple face frame job from going sideways.

I mean, my old one was chattering so bad it was tearing out the grain, but this one with the bearing above the cutters gave me a glass-smooth edge in one pass, so has anyone else found a specific bit that made a huge difference on a tricky material?

Freud's 1/2" compression bit, no tearout in plywood.

Those spiral upcut bits are worth every penny for tearout.

Honestly, what's the best brand you've used for that?
