I usually use Freud bits but I see these cheaper Chinese bits, one brand Uxcell that's cheaper but how about the quality??

If the quality was the same they would be priced alike.

Can't comment specifically on that brand... but the general idea I have read and typically follow is that cheap bits may be fine most times for single use applications. If you expect that you'd use that bit more than once or twice, I typically buy the better quality (higher priced) name brand bit.

Uxcell is not really a brand.

Buy one, compare it to Freud and let us know.
You definitely get what you pay for
The difference
