I used this set to make tongue and groove wood flooring. All the boards fit very nicely, I couldn't ask for a better fit. The tongue and groove created with these bits will far exceed any tongue or groove on store bought flooring. The bits are excellent quality, I have already created 60 planks with these bits and they are still razor sharp. Set-up is also a breeze. You will not be dissappointed with these!

These cut like a dream. I use them on a router table with a fence taking 1/8 passed until I hit 1/2. I could also just make 1/4 tounge and grooves if I wanted to this way, and it might be enough for most aplications.

My first test, I made a wood veneered panel, and it cut without even a splinter on the veneer. They are razor sharp, spin true and smooth. It did seem to me that they don't make a tight enough joints (at least the one I was sold). They have a bolt on top and I can adjust them I think, but have not tried. So maybe a shim on the double cutter would fix this. I will try that on my next project. Looking forward to making perfect tounge and grove joints, and this tool is the one to use!

Admittedly, there are many companies that make quality router bits. Buying from any of them should be a good purchase. I can never understand someone buying router bits that are a fraction of this cost.....do you really want a hunk of inferior metal spinning that fast by your hands and face???
Buy the best, and you'll have it for life.
I personallly have about 45-50 CMT router bits and/or router sets. I also own some Freud, Infinity, Sommerfeld and Whiteside (they are all great companies), MLCS and Rockler bits; in my opinion, are junk.
It's better to buy a few really quality bits than a bunch of cheap bits that give inferior cuts.
