I'm looking for a rail & stile bit set and this seems like a good price but no specs for the bits. The 1/4" spec seems to indicate this set and similar are for 3/4" stock.
Can I run that monster bit in a PC693VS?
Define " a good buy".
Probably a good deal for one or two times use.
This is about half the price you need to pay for a set that will start giving you any mileage.
I would keep looking. A 1/2" shank would be much better. You can run the panel raising bit in a PC693 if you make several passes at it. Big bits like that work much better in the really big routers. Jim
The bits are 1/2" shank. I meant this 1/4" spec.
That 1/4 groove is typical for 3/4" stock. Jim
Can't answer your question about the router, but this appears to be the same set at a much better price:
Thanks! For $40 I'm willing to give them a shot. I still ocassionaly use the cheap carbide bits I bought from sears years ago.

Years ago, the SEARS carbide bits were very good. I still have some from the middle seventies. Hank
