Designed for the serious woodworker, this set features a classic Roundover profile that adds a timeless, professional finish to both interior and exterior doors. The specialized Rail & Stile bits utilize Freud's unique engineering to produce tenons of any length, ensuring the extra-strong joints required for heavy glass-paneled doors. Whether you are matching existing trim in a historic remodel or creating a modern masterpiece from exotic hardwoods, this set provides the versatility to mill fine materials with absolute precision.
This industrial-grade set is optimized for table-mounted routers and is specifically engineered to handle the demands of 1-3/4" thick exterior doors and 1-3/8" thick interior doors. The included Mortising Bit works seamlessly with the profile bits to rout joints for true divided light mullions and muntins, providing a level of detail that stock doors simply cannot match. Each bit is treated with Freud's signature red Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating to reduce heat buildup and prevent pitch accumulation, significantly extending the life of the TiCo™ High-Density Carbide cutting edges.

Pro-Tip: When routing large tenons for 1-3/4" exterior doors, always perform multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut. This reduces the strain on your router motor and minimizes "tear-out" on expensive hardwoods. For the cleanest possible results, use a sacrificial backer board behind your stiles to support the wood fibers as the bit exits the cut.
