| About the 13-Piece Super Router Bit Set
Freud's 1/2-inch shank super router bit set features a whole host of high-end extras and fine details, including long-lasting MicroGrain carbide/titanium tips, tri-metal brazing, and an anti-kickback design. Each Freud bit is computer-balanced to run vibration and chatter-free at speeds well in excess of the typical 22,000 rpm of most routers. These bits have a high shear angle that produces less tear-out and chatter marks, leaving a cross-grained cut that requires little or no sanding. Multi-axis grinding helps ensure the proper relief angle on cutting edges regardless of how the bit is oriented. The kit includes a variety of useful bits most frequently used by woodworkers, including "V" grooving, flush trimming, chamfering, and dovetailing bits. All bits come with 1/2-inch shank and Freud's unique shadow box case for maximum bit protection. Applications

These bits are covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.
Amazon.com Review
Are expensive router bits worth the cost? After testing Freud's 1/2-inch shank set, we think the answer is yes. The features found in these Freud bits--long-lasting micrograin carbide/titanium tips, tri-metal brazing, and an antikickback design--make them a better choice than less-expensive options. Each Freud bit is computer-balanced to run vibration- and chatter-free at speeds well in excess of the typical 22,000 rpm of most routers. These bits have a high shear angle that produces less tear-out and chatter marks, leaving a cross-grained cut that requires little or no sanding. Multiaxis grinding helps ensure the proper relief angle on cutting edges regardless of how the bit is oriented. The kit includes a variety of useful bits most frequently used by woodworkers and comes in a sturdy wooden case for maximum protection of the cutting edges. --Tim Block

 Seconds from Freud June 4, 2008

Now I know where Freud dumps their mistakes. The set I ordered came in a wooden box that was in very poor condition. The pastic panel was cracked in several places and broken in a few places. The bits had the red paint chipped off on several bits and the of course the CD was unplayable. Thank goodness for Amazon replacing this set and a second set in the same shape. Freud has always made great products so I'll assume it was just a bad day for them.
 great bits February 26, 2008

I bought this set in Nov 2006 and haven't been sorry; I would buy it again. Especially during a Freud discount special.
As of yet I haven't used all the bits, but those that I have used have performed flawlessly. What I have notice is that I can remove much more wood per pass and stress the router less with a quality bit verses a cheap one. They are worth the extra cost.
Other reviewers have commented about rust, it is true that the shanks develop some surface rust if they don't get used, that seems to be true with all high quality bits. I have some porter-cable bits that have also developed surface rust on the shank. I used a 0000 steel wool to clean the rust and now I just keep on top of it.
 Great Bits - Some Rust August 20, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I spent the day using several of these bits on my router table. I cut 3/4" dados in hard maple, 1/2" dovetails in hard maple, and various other cuts in hard maple and white oak.
The cut quality is excellent - maybe the best I have ever achieved. The 3/4" bit cuts a dado .755" wide. The 1/2" straight bit cuts .507" wide. The 1/2" dovetail was perfectly sized. There was almost no tearout anywhere. I would give this set 5 stars but for the small amount of rust on the 1/2" shanks. It is cosmetic only, and I have no need to remove it as reported by another reviewer. I do wish Freud would use a rust inhibitor for shipping.
One final detail - these bits vibrate less than my lower cost ones. Perhaps they were balanced at the factory, but in any case, the quality control is very high. I really like this set.
Update - 10 months later - After lots of use, especially with the dovetail, straight, and roundover bits, I can say without reservation that these are the best bits I have ever used. They are still very sharp, and deliver excellent results.
These are excellent bits that come in a functional storage box April 2, 2006

As soon as received these bits last month, I made several cuts with each bit on scapes of 3/4" plywood, two species of hardwood and several species of softwood. Each of the bits cut flawlessly. They are a beauty to work with. Since that time, I have used used three bits several times and I contintue to appreciate the quality of the cut.
The storage box is solidly constructed and well designed, I appreciate the functionality of the tilt-out bit holders, the clear plastic window, the cutting profile etched in front of each bit and being able to hang the box on a wall.
One of the bits did have some rust on the shank, despite the package of desiccant that came in the storage box and I was unable to open the instructional CD that came with the set.
I think the versatility of the set would be improved if a core box bit of the same diameter was substituted for the cove bit that comes with the set. They both cut the same profile and the core box bit would give the extra flexibity of being able to make surface groves, for cuts such as pilaster flutes, etc.
Amazon sells open-box items as new March 22, 2006

I have not used the bits yet because the box I received from Amazon was not new (and they have not even made an effort to make it look like new: scratches, fingerprints, wood dust, two bits switched, one bit with a damaged tip). I appologize for writing this in the review section, but there's no other place to do it and I believe buyers should be aware of this. We got a new house and I ordered about one dozen products from Amazon's Tool department in the last couple of months; almost half of them were not factory-fresh when I received them. Amazon should change their policies, charge restocking fees if necessary, and sell open-box items as such.
