Hello,
I had a bit of a scare the other day where one of my Freud router bits sheared off at the shank (1/2") while making dados (I was making a 13/32" deep cut with the 3/8" solid carbide spiral upcut bit at 21,000 RPM in white ash). I took out the router from the lift today to inspect it and it seems that only the bit has damage but I can't find where the part that sheared off is (it may have gotten sucked up by my dust collector, potentially) and I want to make sure that my router bottom is supposed to look the way it does in the attached image so just looking to compare.
