User Comments about the Freud 97-210 Cabinet Door Router Bit Set, 3-Piece

These are good bits. The finish is good, ready to finish. They do a very good job on red oak.



I used this router bit set to make kitchen cabinet doors and they turned out great. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a quality raised panel set. The bits are sharp and rugged.



The setup is easy if you follow the instruction video or the paper they give you. Make sure to check the speeds on your router. They got delivered fast and made it a lot easier. They came out perfect. What else would you expect but quality.


It prevents the back of the wood from blowing out. This is my first time making a set of doors. I found it a must, to make a router table sled for doing the rails. The back cutter feature makes the set even nicer. I bought the phenolic sheet and a grizzly clamp off of Amazon.



Without the backcutter all you need to do is gradually raise the bit with each pass. If you notice the bit for making the raised panel does not have a bearing. You always have to use a fence on the router table so arch panel doors are not an option. I originally bought these and sold them for CMT which are much better bits. The backcutter is also a pain because you have to adjust the fence with every pass.



3 or more HP is recommended but variable speed control is a must have. After watching DVD, everything goes flawlessly. I tried to used this bit without watching DVD, all work pieces were massed up and hurt my fingers. To use this bit set properly, you need at least 2 1/2 HP router with variable speed. For best result you have to adjust rpm: 17500rpm for rail and stile bits, 12000rpm for panel bit. I made a real nice panel door from the first try by following the instruction on DVD.You may need good clamp set for glueing rails and stiles.Recommend this set to anyone who wants to make cabinet doors.Back cutter in the panel bit helps a lot to make the door in good shape.Spend few more bucks to get the bit with back cutter. Variable speed is much more important that HP.If you don't set the rpm as recommended in DVD, which is included, it's possible for you to get injured or mass up the work.Good router table is also a must.Instruction DVD is very helpful to avoid any injuries and to get good result.
