I received the tool and did my first cuts.
The cut on the left is using 1/4 inch up cut bit from Home Depot and the cut on the right is using replaceable knife tool. No tear out on top with the new tool but after I removed one of the cut pieces, I noticed some minor tear out on the bottom. I still have some router fuzz. I ran the new tool with a climbing cut at 30"/min at a 0.2" per pass. The old tool I ran with a climbing cut at 20"/min and 0.2" per pass.
I’m going to try an offset .01" and run a climbing cut and follow up with a conventional cut to take the offset off to see if I rid myself of the fuzz. I’m still a newbie as far as wood routing goes so any suggestions to make cleaner cuts would be appreciated.

I did order the wrong size it looks like it can only take 20mm knives but I plan on buying the 3/8 size so I can use the 30mm knives on it.
