5.0 out of 5 stars Nice performance but....., November 13, 2000

This review is from: Freud 97-102 3-Piece Cabinet Bit Set with 99-518 and 99-260 Rail and Style Bits (Tools & Home Improvement)

I found the Freud 97-102 an excellent product. However,I found to get the maximum profile(1-1/4")and keep the panel & rails flush in the front,I had to use 3/4" stock for the panel, and at least 13/16" stock for the rails/stiles.(The panel cutter has a 5/8" depth of cut) A better choise is the Freud 97-100 set. It has the same rail/stile bits, but the panel bit included can take as little as 3/8" depth of cut and still get the full profile! This means you can use thinner stock if needed,and end up with a much better proportioned door.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freud Recommendation, July 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Freud 97-102 3-Piece Cabinet Bit Set with 99-518 and 99-260 Rail and Style Bits (Tools & Home Improvement)

After try the the 3-piece cabinet set, I was please with the outcome of the raised door panels that was for a china cabinet that I just built. I did not burn the wood that some other bits would have done and in turn gave me a nice result. People have complimented me on my cabinet work and I probably would have not done without this product. I own several Freud products and I recommend them to any woodworking enthusiast.

5.0 out of 5 stars 99-218 Problem?, February 24, 2001

For those reading the review of the 99-218 panel raiser, try using a 1/8" backcut on your panel and your alignment problems dissapear.
