Freud 98-327 2-Piece French Door Grill Router Bit Set Roundover Profile 1/2 Inch Shank for Simulated Divided Lite Hardwood Softwood

Master Simulated Divided Lite Construction with Industrial Precision

Elevate your door making capabilities with the Freud 98-327 2-Piece French Door Grill Set, specifically designed to create elegant wooden grills for simulated divided lite doors. When paired with Freud's premier French Door Bit Sets (sold separately), this duo allows you to transform a standard full-lite glass door into a classic multi-pane masterpiece. The set includes a specialized straight bit and a unique "intersection" bit, which work together to produce perfect cross-lap joints for door muntins. This innovative solution solves the complex geometry required for simulated divided lites, ensuring tight, professional joints every time.

Engineered for the serious woodworker, these bits feature the Roundover profile to perfectly match Freud's corresponding door sets (specifically the 98-307). Each bit is crafted with Freud's high-density TiCo™ Carbide and protected by the signature red Perma-SHIELD® coating, which withstands heat, rust, and resin buildup. Whether you are routing fine hardwoods or softwoods on a table-mounted router, the 98-327 set delivers smooth, splinter-free cuts that require minimal sanding. This is the essential upgrade for custom door production, bringing architectural detail to your projects with efficiency and ease.

Pro-Tip: When using the intersection bit to rout the cross-lap joints, always use a backer block behind your workpiece as you pass it through the router table fence. This simple step prevents tear-out on the trailing edge, ensuring your delicate grill pieces remain crisp and intact.
