No offense but isn't the term "production" when used with the word "quality mirror smooth" an oxymoron? I do a fair amount of "production work" for my construction business. I also build furniture for a hobby. You can pretty much guarantee when it comes time for "production", my beloved WW2 gets hidden in the closet and the freud comes out for use. And who ever it was (Todd?) said the freud was half as good as the forrest is dead on. Infact a dull forrest is still a better cut than a sharp freud. IMHO, YMMV. Hope this helps. SH
