Thanks for that Imran. ?Do you find the birdsmouth bits to be very slow cutting??

Hi Chris,
I have used this 3/4¡± bit on WRC with good results on my FD250. Cuts one direction only but faster than my Felder birdsmouth. I explored bits with Greg at Rangate but ended up trying this and so far so good. Being carbide, I assume it would be good on hardwood as well but have not tried yet.

Hi, I've been searching old threads for bit recommendations with limited success. I'm ?looking for a bit to cut 5/16 or 3/8 x ?2-2.5'' deep mortises in hardwood. My F 250 is single speed. I've had decent results with 2 flute up and down shear mortising ?bits, not so great results with a 4 flute square end mill and have yet to try a bird's mouth bit. I'm ordering some ?birds mouth bits from rangate ?but wondering if anyone has other bits they like for fast and clean cutting (not necessarily only in these smaller diameter sizes). Thanks for any recommendations. - Chris?
