Its a FREUD. Enough said. Awesome.
L. Greco✓ Verified Purchase•September 3, 2017
BEST money ever spent...on a bit. Period. A decent, or even just mid-powered router with an awesome Freud bit is ALL most folks will ever need.
While I'm just a pharmacist-hobbyist, at best, I still like buying the best of stuff regardless of how many times I might ever use something. One-time
project for mom. Cost no object. Money well spent by ANY standard of measure. Nice design & cuts like hot knife thru butter. ONLY problem I now see with this.... its become a solution-looking-for-a-problem and more projects to play with.

This is a great answer to the problems of building stiles and rails for glass panel doors. The bits make a fine rabbet on the back for the 1/8" glass; cut a slot for the glass-holding spline; make the fine cope and stick for joinery. After trying the bits on extra wood, I had some minor tearout. I solved that issue by speeding the bit rotation speed a notch and backing off the cut to do it in two lighter passes. The bits are pretty big so you can't run them very fast! I will also mention that I bought a Sommerfeld Easy Set Up Jig for Freud Bits from Amazon for these bits (and a bunch of others) and that jig makes set up for the bits a snap.

I purchased this style of bit with the slot cutter attached for a different profile. It was nice not having to make a additional pass for the slot groove. Basically these work exactly like any other 2 piece door bits. Once you route the profile you will need to set up the table saw to cut off the backside of the rails and stile and those pieces can be reused once the glass is installed to give the backside of the door a more finished look. I have done it both ways as in just using silicone to install the glass or using the cut off pieces and using a pin nailer to secure the cut off pieces and hold the glass in place. The bits are still sharp and i done a poplar (painted) kitchen, oak and maple using these bits. No complaints great addition to the collection.
Freud Bit Packaging is Incorrect
L. M.✓ Verified Purchase•March 8, 2015
Although this router bit cuts fairly cleanly, I have a major issue with it's manufacturer description and dimensions shown right on the packaging. My objective was to get about 1/2 inch engagement distance between the drawer side and front which would allow for additional 1/4 dowel pins to be added for strength and looks. The 99-240 bit packaging shows a dimension of 33/64 inch as the engagement length but that is just incorrect. As another reviewer stated this bit requires a fixed engagement of 3/8 inch only. Freud should understand their tools and market things accurately.
The best setup instructions come from lee valley where their drawer lock bit is set up for only 1/4 inch engagement. Follow their instructions substituting 3/8 for 1/4 and you can use the Freud bit in appropriate locations like the back to side joints when using 1/2 thick stock.

Pretty good, and seems durable, but just not right

thats the gist. Only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is not a tight fit. I have tried all types of setups. Running jigs and feather boards, and freehand with a miter. When I make doors I like a nice tight fit, and these are just very loose. Even a harbor freight slotting set allows me to get it tight. I bought this so I didn't have to unbolt the cutter and change out the discs.
But I at this point I am just going to buy a second slotting set and do just that.
I was always told that Freud was the best. I spent years with harbor freight and my Amana bits waiting for the reason to get these. I've now bought two Freud bit sets for my shaper and
Been totally unimpressed. Meanwhile my Amana works great for my carcass dados and my harbor freight are great for doors, just requiring a little more filing/sharpening. So disappointed...
