router bit

I have the same bit It work's fine for me It has to be set up correct to work I like the combo That way No bit change Just saves some time

BJ, As a matter of fact that is exactly the bit being discussed. BrianS brought it over to show me last Saturday, a friend of his had purchased it and complained it did not cut correctly. He sent it back and they tested it and declared it worked fine. Since then the guy bought a Freud set and is using it. I suggested that Brian should make him an offer for the bit. Brian is limited to a 1/4" collet for now so I guess that bit is in limbo.

rail and stile bit

The bit i have I belive i got it from Price Cutter ? Their are other Mfd. out their It has a bearing in the center So You use a streight edge and set the fence's up so that the bearing and fence are all toutching Once you do that You will be ready to cut This is the max cut you can get The bearing wont let you go and deeper I belive the wood is 3/4" also

I've no experience with rail and stile bits so can only go by what my friend told me. He has the complete Oakpark setup... table, fence, bit, etc. According to him, there is no setup for it as far as depth, install the bit, install the fence into the locating holes, tighten it down and make doors. The Freud set that Mike mentioned was used with a homemade fence, on the Oakpark table, and makes great doors. I suggested that he try the bit with his fence and see what happens. Not sure if he's had the time to do that or not.

The thing that he is really confused by is the fact that when he first got it, it worked great. He showed me several (10-12?) that he made for storage cabinets in his garage when he first got it and was practicing. They all fit together perfectly. Then, with no setup changes, it started having this gap.
