Freud Adjustable Tongue & Groove Bit Set

Performed as expected. However, If you should damage one of the cutters (been doing a lot of reclaimed wood lately), you can't buy replacement parts. The entire set must be replaced. I switched to different brand when replacing this set for the aforementioned reason.

I'm a Shaker-style kinda guy, so I bought this Freud tongue & groove set to replace the spline technique I've used in the past. The first set received was damaged in shipment! but Rockler provided Excellent customer service by sending a replacement in very short order. My first use for this set was three cabinet doors in knotty pine. I found time saved, and much less hassle for set-up in using this new for me technique over the old spline set-up. A Porter Cable variable speed router mounted in a cabinet saw extension table was the rig used. Even at the lowest speed on the router, there were few problems making clean and accurate cuts. Getting such good cuts at the slowest router speeds might be because it seems the knives on these router bits are sharper than I've experienced with other bits. I've since used these bits on my favorite oak with the same high quality results. Overall, in my eyes this set is a winner! as is Rockler who has earned my continued loyalty for their really great customer service and product offerings.

I admit that I haven't used the bit yet! If I do use it, I expect it will perform admirably like the other reviews say. What popped my bubble was getting the router bit and seeing that Freud recommends a maximum router RPM of 16,000 for this bit...and I have a fixed speed 25,000 RPM router.

I ordered the adjustable tongue & groove bit set because I wanted tighter fitting panels in my doors and woodworking projects. The set works as well as stated and I was able to get them without having to pay for shipping. I have and will continue purchasing tools and equipment from Rockler because of the outstanding customer service and short delivery time.

I bought this set to make some shaker cabinet doors, and it worked great for that, but now I find myself using it for a lot of other application. When I use it to edge join boards for table tops, the joint is always perfect. The cutters stay sharp, and cut clean.
