## Description

The Freud 97-150 – 3 Piece Quadra-Cut Premier Adjustable Cabinet Bit Set is the ultimate choice for anyone looking to create high-quality raised panel or flat panel doors. This set combines Freud’s most popular rail and stile bit sets with exclusive Quadra-Cut Raised Panel Bits, providing all the tools you need to build professional, durable doors with ease. The set features Freud’s Premier Adjustable Rail & Stile Bits, which incorporate long tenon technology for the strongest rail and stile joints, ensuring your doors are built to last. The Quadra-Cut™ technology used in the raised panel bit offers superior cutting precision, making it ideal for clean, sharp panel cuts. Each bit is crafted with TiCo Hi-Density Carbide for exceptional performance and longevity. The set also features Freud’s Perma-SHIELD Coating, reducing heat buildup and preventing pitch accumulation, which prolongs the life of the bits. Packed in an attractive wooden storage box, this set keeps your bits safe and organized while ensuring easy access whenever you need them. Designed for use with table-mounted routers, the Freud 97-150 set is perfect for routing hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composites, making it an essential tool for cabinet door making.

Review: Precision engineered - These are high quality, solidly made, router bits. As delivered they're fiendishly sharp and nicely presented in a wooden/plastic case. Instructions are reasonably straightforward - expect a little bit of trial and error getting the height right for the stile cuts after the rail ends have been made. The results are super clean and very, very, precise. The raised panel bit is a hefty monster of a thing, so expect to slow the router speed and possibly need a larger opening in your table.
Review: Profile of Stile and Rail Cutters are not an exact match. - I typically like Freud products. The bits are sharp and long lasting. Those traits appear to be true for this set. Unfortunately, the profile of the stile and rail cutters are not an exact match. When door is assembled with the rails and stiles in the same plane (a flat door), there is about 1/32 gap on the front side. When gluing and clamping this gap causes the door frame to be misaligned. I assume this is why there are instructions for an optional extended tenon, which is a very complex task. For a company with Freud's reputation, I would have expected the pieces to align. The second problem with this set is the lack of a back-cutter for the raised panel bit. They don't tell you this. In order to assemble the door, you need to separately route the back cut. The set is useable, but to make a quality door, you have to do a lot of extra work to make up for their poor design. Lastly, the instructions are generic for all of their cabinet door sets. You have to figure out what to do when your set is different. Also, the formulas for stile, rail and panel dimensions are written out in sentences in small print. The instruction pamphlet is not available online, which would at least allow for zooming in to read it. I am truly disappointed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Description says 5/8-1-1/4 inch thick stock can be used.  But the picture of the stile on the front of the box shows 5/8-1" thickness for the stile?**
A: The instructions included with the set states "your premier adjustable Stile and Rail bit set is suitable for stock from 5/8" to 1 1/4"."  I measured the vertical cutting capacity of all three bits. Both the panel and rail bits have a potential vertical cut of at least 1 1/4".  The stile bit appears to have a vertical cut of 1" when all spacers are used.  My impression is that when cutting stiles of 1 1/4" you would not need over a 1" capacity cutter due to the nature of the cut.  However, I must state that i'm not an expert in these matters.

**Q: does this set come with setup block**
A: No, I suggest you purchase a set or make your own sample repeatable set up as I use the same setup all the time.

**Q: are these shaker or cove? the image showes cove on the box and shaker in the box**
A: You can make either shaker or cove.  To make shaker style just rout the stiles & rails and make the panels out of 1/4" material.  The stiles & rails are the same for either cove and shaker style.

**Q: Many say you need a 2 1/2 hp or bigger router. for the raised panel bit, correct? plan to use table saw to take off most of the cut. 2 hp router here.**
A: It is possible to receive satisfactory results with a 
2 1/2 HP router mounted under table but you need a few  careful partial practice cuts before expecting acceptable final results

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality cutters.
*by P***E on August 30, 2015*

This a very good panel joiner kit with the exception of the fact it does not come with very good instructions. But if you're not sure how to set the cutter up you probably should not be using this type of shaper anyway. This cutter should not be used with anything less than a very stable commercial router table. I use these with three horse powered Makita routers turning better than 12,000 RPMs. You could probably use the panel cutter with a 1 1/2 horse router as long as it turns better than 10,000 RPMs. The panel cutter is by far the most dangerous cutter in the set as it removes a lot of wood with each pass. This is the reason you must make at least three passes as you cut the raised panels. I have always found Freud cutters to be of the very highest quality and rate them right up there with Amana cutters.
