Tools and Hardware Reviews of Freud 97-100 3-Piece Cabinet Bit Set with 99-515 and 99-260 Rail and Style BitsCustomer Review: Door Making Plus Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty complete door making set. The description on Amazon lists bits that are completely wrong as of 7/28/08 which will hopefully be corrected. This set includes a panel raising bit (no back cutter) a match pair of rail and stile bits (coping and grooving)- all ogie profile. In addition to the basic door bits this set includes an outside edge bit which put a radius on the front side edge of the door and a beveled undercut on the inside of the door perimeter. The last of the five bits is edge glue bit for gluing up the raised panel - nice in itself.
Nice complete set - good quality bits, nice box (opens kind of funky). Can't recommed it for use with Freud's 2.5 hp router. The panel raising bit in particular and the outside door radiusing and beveling bits take a lot of hp to swing, even taking partial depths of cuts (which you'd have to do even with a 3.5 hp unit)is too much for the 2.5 hp unit. Because the outside radius bit has no guide bearing and the transition between of the shape of the raduis and door lip it is hard to get a straight edge in to set the fence - the radius starts immediately with no flat to use the straight edge against. Not surprisingly this is a table only set - only Paul Bunyan would try bits in this set with a hand held router.
