Build Heirloom Quality Doors: Freud Adjustable Entry & Interior Door Router Bit System for True Mortise and Tenon Joints

Unlock the potential of your woodworking shop with the Freud Entry and Interior Door Router Bit System. Unlike standard rail and stile sets that rely on short stub tenons, this patented system empowers you to construct high-quality entry and interior doors with authentic mortise and tenon joinery. Designed for serious woodworkers and architectural millwork professionals, these matched bits allow you to create rock-solid joints that will last a lifetime, all using your 1/2-inch collet table-mounted router.

Versatility is at the core of this system. Out of the box, the perfectly matched rail and stile bits are ready to mill precise joints for standard 1-3/4 inch exterior doors. By simply removing the spacers, the set adjusts seamlessly to craft 1-3/8 inch interior doors. The true game-changer is the ability to mill tenons of any length for extra-strong heavy-duty doors; just unscrew the top cutter from the rail bit to produce deep, extended tenons without removing the bit from the router. Finished with Freud’s industry-leading Perma-SHIELD® Coating to reduce heat and pitch buildup, this system ensures clean, burn-free cuts in hardwood and softwood alike.

Key Features

  • True Joinery: Patented design allows for genuine mortise and tenon construction, offering superior strength over standard cope and stick joints.
  • Adjustable Versatility: Configurable for both 1-3/8" interior doors and 1-3/4" exterior entry doors.
  • Long Tenon Capability: Remove the top rail cutter to mill tenons of any length for maximum structural integrity.
  • Matched Set: Includes perfectly matched Rail and Stile bits that come fully assembled for immediate use.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating reduces friction, heat buildup, and gumming for longer tool life.
  • High-Performance Carbide: Freud TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide ensures a razor-sharp edge and flawless finish.

Pro-Tip: When milling full-length tenons for heavy entry doors, make multiple passes to reduce stress on the bit and router. Start by using the assembled bit to cut the profile, then remove the top cutter to extend the tenon length in subsequent passes, ensuring a perfect fit and a "bomb-proof" joint.
