Hi hawkeye

I have the set below and it's a great set made just for that job..

If you order the router bit set BESURE to get the DVD at a great price, Marc Sommerfeld will show you how to use this great set...the SAFE Way, with many tricks like making 2 " panels and making 4" R & S frames.....with some shop made jigs to keep it safe and easy...I'm not sure if you have tried making door/frame parts that are 1/2" thick and only 1" wide by 4" long ,it can be tricky to keep all your finges. I would just add one thing to his video and that would be ,use wider stock and do both edges of the board and then rip them to size after the router job...this will take care of the rip out on the ends of soft wood plus it's bit safer.......

-----------
If you like Freud router bits here's a link to a web site..they are running a close out sale... the set Charles posted can be had for about 70.oo for the R & S pair, but I didn't find the panel cutter, but you may need to look around for it..

Hi Hawkeye,

Welcome to the group. There are basically two options available for making mini R&S. The ones like Bj linked have an ogee profile that turns to more of a round in the thinner stock. The one that Freud offers has a different type of ogee that stays the same no matter the thickness:

Try this guy
Roger Gifkin he's Australian I know but IMO makes the best dovetail , finger jig and cutters for small boxes
Normal disclaimer have no affiliation with him other than I own some of his stuff and have found it fantastic to use and the results are always great even for me

Charles,

Is this site too good to be true?

I recently purchased what I thought was a Freud TS blade. In the package it looked good. It turned out to be a knockoff, cheap plating and thin carbide. It was not at all like my other Freud blades.

Tony,

I am not familiar with that site and it looks like they only have a few items that are actually available. As far as I know they are not currently an authorized Freud dealer. Perhaps someone else in the group has some experience purchasing from them.

Sorry to hear you were stuck with a knock-off. It's a constant battle for us to stop the copies and the copyright violations.

Hi Charles

Doing a bit of checking I see Freud shows the company as a authorized Freud dealer or am I wrong ? I was going to buy a saw blade and I don't want to get a knockoff ...

Woodcraft also sells an inexpensive mini R&S set.

Bj,

I'm not in the sales dept so I don't claim to know about every dealer. Just going by what I was told.

Thanks Charles

I just used your web site and the dealer locator to find the info, it's hard to know all about a big company like yours I'm sure ..

I guess I will order the saw blade and it should be fine...I think...
