Shear cut Router Bits??

Grizzly has two sets of roundover bits, one has 4 bits and is $29. The
other has the same 4 bits plus 2 trim bits for $25 but says they are
shear cut. As far as I can tell that's the only difference. I already
ordered the 6pc set but what is shear cut? Is it better/ worse/
different?

BTW: Unisaw is showing up today and Grizzly H1018HW (8" jointer) is
coming on Friday. Called the trucking company and they're sending a
lift gate truck at no charge. Now if I can just get help drgging it in
the garage and down to the basement. I guess I'm going to owe a few
favors to a few friends.

Thanks

IIRC a shear cut bit is vaguely similar to a spiral bit in that the cutting
edge is at a slight angle along it's length and shears the material away
rather than the edge cutting the material at a 90 degree angle and chopping
the wood all at once along the cutting edge.
