Freud89-250 3Piece Chamfer Bit Set, Multi, One Size

All of the my heavy duty router bits are Freud brand because I know they are the highest quality, the sharpest and durable. This set was no exception. They cut a perfect groove for today's plywood sizes - I have used the bits for 3/4, 1/2" and 3/8" plywood and they perform perfectly with minimal tear-out. I love the box, it protects the bits and stacks in my router bit drawer perfectly. Definitely recommend

Love these! Without a table saw I could not have cut the dados for my cabinets without this inexpensive but high quality bit set! Highly recommend.

I have used the 3/4" bit to cut 1/4" deep dados in maple plywood for cabinet shelves. The cut is very clean, just a little bit of fuzz from the veneer that easily sanded off.For my particular plywood, the dados were extremely tight. Next time I'll adjust my jig and make sure to do a second pass on the other side of the cut to give the shelf a little more room.I've also used the 1/4" bit to cut large holes in some 1/4" plywood. Worked great--cut the wood like butter. There was a fair amount of veneer fuzz with the 1/4" bit, but these are mid-range straight blade bits, so I am not too picky about their cuts.As others have noted, the Freud router bit cases are downright dangerous. The bits are so sharp, and the bits are held in the case so tight, that it sometimes makes me nervous getting them out. I always have to wear leather work gloves when removing any Freud bit from its case, and even then, I am careful. I have put some silicone on the bit shaft to make them easier to remove, but the cases are just too tight. Do NOT attempt to remove the bits with your bare hands. They will cause some damage.

Bits are excellent and quite sharp. As others have noted, the only gripe about these is really that they are hard to get out of the box the first time without getting cut.A tip for unboxing:The bit holder piece is just a piece of wood screwed into the case on both sides, so unscrew it and place in a vise. wrap a soft, thick towel around the sharp bits to protect them and yourself, and gently work them one at a time out of the block using pliers on the towel so you don't damage the bits. Once they're out, put them back in only half as far so you can get them out easily but they won't fall out, then screw the holder back into the case using the original holes.

hard to get out of the box

Excellent quality, very accurate, creates nice tight joints

Worked great on butcher block. No chip out or burning. Smooth as butter

Smooth cuts without any burning, a must have for working with plywood. Perfect snug fit every time.Comes in a little Freud stand that is a little too large for these alone, but convenient if you do not already have a stand for router bits.Can't go wrong with Freud

Good Quality at a good price

Just received today. Bits are in *tight* collars and razor-sharp, so use a tool to pr them out the first time lest you slice a finger open. Really appreciate finding these specialty sizes in 1/2" shank. They're available for less with 8mm shanks, but I suspect most of us in North America still use routers with Imperial collets (and the price difference between 8mm and 1/2" isn't enough to buy a metric router).

Really, don’t mess around with the cheap stuff. If you can afford these guys you won’t regret it. Sharp, accurate, great box. Yes, they are difficult to remove from the holder initially, but I would rather that than have them loose and knocking about in the box during transit.

so there must be more than 1 size of undersize plywood. I had to make the first pass, then adjust the fence to take off another 34 thou or so. Yes it's do-able, but it requires 2 times the passes with a large project it's a pain. So I wonder if there should be 2 sizes of "undersize" plywood bits. They do cut smoothly with no burn and no vibration. Arrived with damaged box, no biggie that's a shipping faux pas
