I purchased this router bit set at what I thought was a good price. It's nice to have a positive experience with an online purchase. They were delivered promptly, and work great. I knew the name, and the bits seem to live up to expectation.
It has worked great. Make sure you have a router with a 1/2" collet and a router table. I am very pleased. I bought this 3 piece set as my first set. It is easy to set. If I had it to do over I would have spent the extra money for a set with the back cutter.Excellent product. It cuts cleanly.
Why. It includes the glue up joint bit, which is nice for gettting a lot of panels to line up properly while gluing. (Unless you prefer that look) So I bought this set, to pick up the 3 1/2" panel raising bit. The Bosch 1619EVS is even larger than that.
Their are others also, but most fixed base 2 HP routers won't accept such a large bit. Overall this is a great set of bits. Not really recommended, because you might accidently adjust it into the base. The popular 5 piece set is what I initially bought. I bought this set as well. Because when making kitchen cabinets, the raised panel bit that they provide with the set is too small for a large cabinet. So measure first.
They do a great job, and last a long time. It also includes the door lock bit, which will turn your raised panel, into a drawer front by removing the material around the edge of the back of the door face. That requires a large opening of at least 3 5/8" on the bottom of your router, and the opening on your router table as well. Highly recommended. The Fein RT-1800 allows for the the use of a 3 1/2" bit, but the casting prevents you from plunging a bit that size.
This will save some valuable time. All in all, very good product and the price was extremely good. The bits are extremely sharp and the finish is excellent. The only concern that I initially had was whether or not the 3 1/2" bit would fit in my router base opening. I am sure that you will find this most acceptable. I just purchased the 3 piece cab.
The set came within a few days of ordering- thanks Amazon. The box that comes with the set is well constructed to keep the bits safe and free from dust, which is nice. The cuts with the bits are very clean, just like the ads say, and there are no pieces of fuzz on the top of the profile on the end grain. I had to file the opening just a little to make the bit fit. bit set from freud and I am very excited. I have a 7539 p.c.
In fact, the cheapest I could find. router and the opening is 3 1/2".
