The Freud Difference
Freud manufactures some of the most innovative, technologically advanced saw blades in the world. To ensure that the highest quality products meet the toughest design standards, Freud owns and operates six manufacturing facilities in Western Europe. Freud is one of the few manufacturers of woodworking tools in the world that produces its own MicroGrain carbide with titanium, called TiCo -- a combination of titanium and cobalt. Freud develops different types of carbide for each application to maximize the cutting life and performance of the tool; and Freud also operates one of the most modern product development research centers in Europe. By overseeing the entire manufacturing process from start to finish, Freud guarantees some of the highest quality, most advanced products in the industry.

If you have the Incra-Jig system get the Freud bits. I bought a set of bits of dubious lineage for about half what the Freud bits cost and they did about half as good as the Freud bits. Almost all router bits do fine for the first couple of cuts, then the [low price] ones start to burn, tearout and in general make life miserable. Sooner or later, every woodworker gets over the "cheap tool" syndrome. Don't shortchange your Incra-Jig, get the Freud bits. One little gripe, I wish they would label the bits instead of just their part number.

I have many Freud bits and saw blades. I have always been very happy with their products. Recently I added an Incra LS17 super system to my shop. Because of my past experience with Freud products, I purchased the Freud 8 piece set for Incra Jig. Much to my surprise both straight cut bits in the set were undersized, and produced unacceptable box joints using Incra scales. I returned the set and replaced them with CMT which work well.
