I have used and still have that type of cutter for my smallish shaper. Without the indexing teeth for secure grip they are dangerous. I was working in my NY shop when an employee turned on the big shaper with a 1 1/2" set of bits without properly tightening the nut. It was not equipped with safety teeth and I heard the cutter whiz past my head about 24" away on its way out of the shop through a 12" brick wall. Never did find it. The exit hole was a hint...
This tiny thing for the router may not be so bad the way it's designed. Looks handy. Video is not from U.S. is it? Might be hard to come by one.
