Hi Rog,

Avoid Freud.

They can't even spell correctly. It should be 'Fraud'.

Hi Steve

Avoid Freud. They can't even spell correctly. It should be 'Fraud'.

I have a Freud set of 1/2" cutters and I have found them to be excellent.

Nowadays, however, I buy from Wealden http://www.wealdentool.com/ They are excellent and really good value.

Cheers
Neil

Hi Steve,
what problems have you had with Freud bits? I have about 20 odd, and they are pretty good value for money, they hold their edge well and the tolerences are pretty much spot on.

Only interested cause I'm about to buy a load more!

My Freud raised panel set has given excellent results to date....

Blimey!

I had a dangerous experience with a Freud T&G set, detailed here:

After reading that, you'll see why I have no confidence in Freud at all!
I obviously bought a 'Friday afternoon' set (or should I say Freuday afternoon set :wink: ) because many other forumites have good experiences, but I couldn't bring myself to fit another of their cutters in my table. Frankly, I'd be scared to switch it on.

Tilgear have a set for £39.50+vat in their Spring Sail (their spelling not mine!) leaflet.
Can't get cheaper than that! I have a set and they are quite acceptable, as long as you only need a few door knocked out not a thousands!
