Over the weekend I started browsing the Internet based on an email that I received from MLCS Woodworking. I really don't need another flush trim bit but, in my random searching, I came across a bit configuration that I hadn't seen before and it intrigued me. This is the bit: https://www.amazon.com/KOWOOD-Flush...lja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1
It's design is similar to a helix cutter head for a jointer or planner. Also, from it's design it looks like it might clear the shavings better than a full length blade. That said, I'm not familiar with the brand and wonder, if it's a great design, why haven't I seen this from all of the other bit makers. Admittedly, since I rarely need a new bit nowadays, I have an adequate assortment for the work I do, I don't often look to see what's new.
My question is, is anyone familiar with this bit, or this design if they're more of them out there, and what has been your experience both pro and con?
