MLCS routerbits.
Anyone here ever use them? If so, what do you think?
I am particularly interested in the spiral flush cutting bits.

I've bought a few of their bits. They were sharp and hold up
fairly well. I'll probably buy more from them.
Most of my routing is done on a CNC machine and in that context
I've observed that:
[1] spiral bits aren't quite as good as straight bits for tearout
[2] down spiral bits are good for helping to hold work down and
producing clean edges
[3] up spiral bits are good for chip removal - which may be
important when cutting deep mortises. They tend to lift the work
and produce "fuzzy" edges.
