 Question for others July 4, 2010
Illegally Yours (Michigan)
I have a question for all of the wood working masters out there who have used this bit. I intend to use it to groove the ends of a run of tongue and groove flooring so I can cap it with an end piece perpendicular to the rows. So what I really need the tool to do is put grooves in the end pieces. I know to use a piece of wood next to the strip as I router the ends to eliminate tear out. Is this the right bit for flooring, or it is a better tool for cabinets? If not, what do you guys recommend for the job?
Thanks.

 T&G Router set from Freud June 5, 2010
David Dalzell (Sierra Nevada Mtns, CA)
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I have not yet used it in a true furniture piece. However I believe it will rate 5 stars when this is accomplished.
I have only used this T&G set for practice so far. I did some tongue and grooves on a practice pair of boards as though I were going to make a wide glued up panel. The set worked fine. Read the little sheet that defines the thickness of the included spacers. Adding the appropriate spacers to both the Tongue bit and the Groove bit is very important to make the tongue fit snugly into the groove. The most difficult thing is to correctly adjust the height of the tongue bit for the second board to match the exact location of the opposing groove location on the first board. Otherwise you get a beautifull T&G that fits well but one board is offset from the other by however much you didn't correctly adjust the height of the cut. This is very tricky to adjust. Not a fault of the T&G bit set, just an inherent issue when using any router bit set pair. Maybe there is a good way to solve this. But I don't know what it is. For me there are two options to solve this problem: 1) Adjust, adjust, adjust with the same dimension trial boards before going to the real wood pieces: 2) adjust until fairly close then make the T&G. Then make a small 45 deg chamfer on the exposed edges before glue up. The chamfer hides small offset differences plus adds an interesting feature to the furniture piece.
Conclusions - I am glad I bought the T&G set. I would do it again. Understand that there are difficulties to make exact matching booards, but they can be worked. The set cut very cleanly, no chip out.
