The router bits work great. The pdf plans make it look simpler than it is. Made my first set out of white cedar. Made some relief cuts for the male cuts and double clamped them to the sled.

My son & I made some 24" tracks for the grandson this weekend. Took about an hour to run all three bits, ane tracks turned out perfectly with a little tweeking on the male end. By making a little loose, they fit just fine with all other tracks he already has. I think I'll purchase the dual-track bit next.

I've used these bits to make hundreds of track pieces of all types and sizes. It's really easy. However, the hardest part was making several interchangeable jigs that sat on top of my router table; actually that was kinda fun too. I did not use the double groove track bit as I used the single and just flipped the track and ran it a second time. The original tracks are made of beechwood but lack of supply in my area so I used maple which worked out pretty good.
As much as possible I used the drill press and bandsaw to remove most of the wood prior to cutting the connector slots.
Don't limit yourself to simple curves and straight pieces of track. I also make junction pints with "T"s and "X" type pieces. Have fun with it.

I too had a great time with these. Getting your jig will take a lone time. I did have some trouble with the material on the backside of the "male" bit kicking out and tearing into the wood. I modified my jig to support that area instead of doing extra pre-drilling.
Does anyone know where to find ready to install magnets for trains that are rounded?

What's the deal with that? All, and I mean all, stock track no matter what the mfg, plastic or wood, all seem to be interchangeable. But the pieces cut with this set don't fit well with stock track. Am I missing something? Do they expect you to hand fit each section? I really need this stuff to fit the stock pieces like bridges and water stations and roundabouts and all sorts of commercial parts that the grandkids already have.

These are very high quality router bits. They are a great aid to cutting track. The bits for cutting the male and female connectors have ZERO tolerance; so if you cut them perfectly the pieces must be forced together. In actual use in a child's hands, there needs to be some "slop" to facilitate connecting them and separating them. Expect to spend a considerable amount of time "adjusting" the final cuts.
