Thanks for the demonstration John. I have the large #3Hercules and use mine mostly as a general purpose roughing tool. It's efficient and friendly but also is capable of very smooth surface if you tilt it for shear cuts per your demo. Mike Hunters tools are all capable of very fine surface finishes because the carbide cutter is formed with a true cutting edge not a scraping edge. This is what makes them better than tools that just scrape, although they require a bit more skill to use (it's worth the effort to learn them). I have five Hunter tools and use them all regularly.

The Video would be a lot better if you would move your mic so your not breathing on it. Very annoying
