Designed for table-mounted routers, this three-piece system empowers you to build full lite or true divided lite doors in any size and from any wood species with professional results.

The 98-309 designation corresponds to the Cove \u0026amp; Bead profile included in this 3‑piece set.\n- Expandable to simulated grills: To achieve the classic divided-light appearance without the complexity, pair this set with Freud’s Two Piece French Door Grill Sets (sold separately) for simulated grills.\n- Versatile across woods: Use these bits with hardwoods or softwoods alike, enabling you to craft doors in oak, maple, cherry, pine, and more—without sacrificing precision. Key features and benefits\n- Comprehensive three-piece system: Includes the Rail \u0026amp; Stile bits (for tenon construction), the Mortising Bit (for precise joinery), and the profile bit that defines the door’s final edge profile. This combination covers the essential steps from mortise creation to final edge detailing.\n- True divided light capability: When used with the Mortising Bit and appropriate profiles, you can create authentic true divided light doors with clean, evenly spaced mullions and muntins.\n- DIY to pro-ready workflow: Built for table-mounted routers, the set is ideal for shop enthusiasts upgrading from basic door projects to high‑end, custom French doors with consistent results.
