    Poor Instructions (3/5), Jan 17, 2021

    By Joe (Monroe NY US)

    Use of this set was made more difficult by poorly written instructions. Setup took more time than it should have and for those who have done rail and stiles using bits in a face down orientation a simple "cuts with face side up" would have been helpful. Consideration should be given to producing demo videos that describe setup and usage.


    Wish that they both have bearings (4/5), Jul 31, 2016

    By Dennis Gould (Kearney US)

    Works good, just wish that they both have bearings. So you can make half moons with them.

    Rail and Stile Set (4/5), Jan 3, 2013

    By Daniel Penn (Ava MO US)

    I used this set for making 2 oak glass panel doors. it worked fine but is slow, there is a lot of steps to making a nice door but it can be done, when I was done the doors were beautiful but I would recommend that you take your time on it. I would recommend this set if you are only making a few doors and have time to do it right.


    Perfect! (5/5), Aug 2, 2011

    By John Moltz (Midlothian TX US)

    I used this bit to make glass windows for a bedroom garden window. I could not be more satisfied. After some time with the setup, the bit worked wonderfully. The trim piece that is produced is perfect and matches. The bit could also be used for glass cabinet doors. I am glad to have discovered this bit.

    Needs better quality control (3/5), Jul 18, 2017

    By Joel Sherriff (Clover VA US)

    This design was perfect for my application. Face down routing means forgiveness where wood thickness is not absolutely identical in all parts...however, I could not get a proper fit between the rail and stile joints until I filed down the base of the dado bit where it sits on the ogee bit. It was as if it came with shims installed, but there were none and I had to remove approx 0.03" from the mating surface from the bit before I could get my test pieces to fit w/o extreme clamping pressure. Perfectly acceptable fit afterwards, just be prepared you may have to do a lot of trial, error, and tweaking.


    Bryant (5/5), Feb 6, 2011

    By Bryant Horton (Charlotte No US)

    Used these bits to make divided light cabinet doors. Quick, easy,nice smooth finish cut. The cut depth is 3/16,so remember this if you read any of the instructions on this site. Be sure to make set up blocks the same thickness as your work piece, and make sure they fit together properly with all flush surfaces before you begin, it will save a lot of frustration when the piece is glued and screwed. Great set.

    Sash Cutting Bits (5/5), Apr 29, 2012

    By Wayne (Cary NC US)

    I purchased the matched pair of sash cutting bits in order to rebuild a window sash from a 1920's farmhouse. The set arrived in the mail within 2 days of ordering and I was cutting rails, stiles and mullions a day later! Excellent set of bits that cut clean and replicated the original sash almost perfectly. I generally purchase all of my router bits from MLCS and have never been disappointed. Excellent products, service and price point!
