Can anyone update their experience with these router bits? I have a set up North I have never used and I am in Florida and reluctant to order another set. Do they work as advertised or is the set-up too complex; are the bits matched so you can swap them with much additional set-up, and finally is the fine mating edge left on the plywood still fragile after glue up.

I like the look of the finished edge, at least on the Web Site.

I have a set and they work very well and as advertised. Assuming you have good quality plywood who thickness is consistent, these bits provide a very nice and clean way to make plywood look like solid wood.

There are other bits out there that are much cheaper, I think, that do the same thing but with a different shape. Check the regular hangouts: Rocklers, Woodcraft, Highland, etc.

I'm going to watch this post, I have a set that I purchased 5 years ago, still in the drawer. Can't remember why I bought them.

Sounds like you two could make a deal?! ;)

Get that sucker out of the drawer and give it a whirl.
