We used this to cut out some shapes in some laminate. I didn't have a piece of laminate large enough to cover my project. I decided to cut interlocking tabs on our ShopSabre model 23 router. It cut the laminate perfectly and the tabs fit perfectly. No chip out at all.

Didn't get to finish my project.
I bought this to use with a mortise template and on the second mortise the bearing was just moving up and down the bit freely. There's no way to find that tiny little set screw wherever it flew off to. no tool to tighten the set screw came with it so I didn't even think to check it. Definitely could have gotten a different brand for half the price.

Had to cut a groove in wood to hold plexiglass shelves. Needed an 1/8" x 3/4" groove. A little disappointed the shaft area is only 3/8" long but grin & bear it, the job is complete. Made a much better cut using Router Table than handheld circular saw.

Does the job! A bit expensive for such a bit, but being purpose built, was expected.

Works great. I used this on several pieces from birch plywood to cedar and it meets my expectations. I build a lot of wall hanging arts and crafts pieces and this tool works great. I don't use it every day but I have cut about 12 holes with it and I am impressed with the tool. We will see how it holds up over time.
I am pleased with this purchase.

Nice bit
The bit worked as expected . Used it to router about 36 feet of Douglas fir for a home made screen for my patio.

The guiding wheel slipped as I was cutting. Upon inspection, it appears that an Allen wrench set screw is missing. I don’t know if it came loose during operation or was manufactured missing. I suspect manufacturing error since the first cut made went from proper depth at start of cut to improperly shallow at end of cut. Either way the bit cannot be used and may even be dangerous.

This mortising bit has a larger bearing than the bit — difficult to make exact fitting jigs. Returned the bit.

It did a beautiful job of cutting hidden slots to hang pictures with.

Incorrect item
I traveled 25 miles one way to purchase this bit. Unfortunately when I arrived at the store, the Diablo bit in the store did not match the picture. I am looking specifically for a bit with a top mounted bearing for cutting hinge mortises. The one in the store does not have the bearing. A wasted trip.

This does a great job of doing what it is supposed to do. I cut keyhole slots in 2 oak boards and 2 mahogany boards after testing it on a scrap piece of 2x4. I recommend making a template for the router to get straight and consistent slots.

This bit worked great. I was mounting a shelf that came with keyhole slots but they were not spaced properly to allow the mounting screws to hit the studs. I made one with this and it allowed a solid install.
