Hi all.
I recently bought the Freud cabinet door set (#97-100) that comes with the matched rail & stile bits as well as the panel raiser. I did not plan on using the panel raiser for my current project (but I'm sure I'll find a reason later...).
My project is using Cherry 1/4" ply. Of course the slot cutter on this bit set is 1/4" unlike the 1/4" Cherry (7/32"?). So the slot is too big.
Whiteside has a conversion kit (different cutters) for their rail & stile bits to slot for the undersized ply. I called Freud, they don't offer different slot cutters. Does anybody know if the Whiteside kit would work on the Freud sets arbor???
Uhg. I knew I should've bought the Whiteside set. Darn!
Any suggestions? I have one, says a voice from the back of the room, think things through before you buy!!!! :)
Thanks,
Joe
