Entry door router bit

Have you tried

Ray,

Doubt that you will find a router bit for panel door construction. That's the turf for shapers and large cutters $$$

Hmmmm.... this must be fairly new - thanks. When I was looking last year, I couldn't find a set that would work for 1-3/4" doors ... must be slipping....

I'm just finishing up a 3rd door made with the MLCS set. I got the Katana bit, since it came with the 1/2" cutter. Work great with my Milwuakee 3+ hp router. The first door was a full 1 3/4 entry door, and I'm now doing several 1 3/8 interior doors to match up everything on the main level of our house. The bits cut very clean, joints are well matched, and I'm able to make the cut in 2 passes - 1 heavyfollowed by 1 light to clean up the edges. The stick cutter is one major hunk of metal - and needs to be run at the lowest speed (8000 rpms?). Also, when changing out the 1/4" for 1/2" cutter, it seems to be pretty critical to line up the cutters to minimize vibration (DAMHIK). The set was pretty pricey (around $180 as I remember), but more than paid for itself in just the cost savings on the entry door.
