Bring authentic, architectural detail to doors with the Freud 98-328 2 Piece French Door Grill Set. This precision 2-bit combination is designed to work hand-in-hand with Freud’s French Door Bit Sets (sold separately) to create realistic grilled panels for simulated divided lite door construction. A smart solution for woodworkers who want clean, durable grills without the complexity of glass, glazing, or multiple templates.
What makes this set unique is the pairing of a Straight Bit and an Intersection Bit, engineered to execute accurate cross-grill patterns in both hardwood and softwood. When used with a table-mounted router, these bits produce precise routing paths that align perfectly with the corresponding door profiles, delivering professional-grade results you can trust on every project.
Key features
- Two-piece precision set designed to form authentic grilled dividers in simulated lite doors
- Straight Bit and Intersection Bit provide clean, reliable cross-joint geometry
- Compatible with Freud’s French Door Bit Sets (sold separately) for seamless integration
- Rout in both hardwood and softwood with a table-mounted router for maximum control
- Available in three profiles to match the corresponding Roundover, Ogee, and Cove & Bead profiles of Freud French Door Sets
Profiles and compatibility
This set is offered in three profiles to perfectly align with the Roundover, Ogee, and Cove & Bead Profiles used by Freud’s French Door Sets. That means you can maintain a consistent design language across the entire door system—from the frame to the grill—without guesswork or compromise.
Ideal uses and who benefits
Perfect for door manufacturers, cabinetmakers, and DIY enthusiasts looking to replicate the classic divided lite look without inserting real glass. Ideal applications include interior doors, entry doors, and cabinetry where the illusion of multiple panes enhances architectural style. The 98-328 set helps you achieve a high-end, museum-grade finish with less time and fewer steps than traditional methods.
Practical how-to and tips
- Attach to a stable table-mounted router and secure your door workpiece to ensure clean, repeatable cuts.
- Match the chosen profile to the rest of the door system before routing to ensure a cohesive look.
- Use sharp bits and test on scrap before final passes to prevent tear-out on grain direction.
- Take light, consistent passes and review alignment with the corresponding grill pattern to avoid misalignment across panels.
With the Freud 98-328 2 Piece French Door Grill Set, you gain a reliable, purpose-built solution that delivers authentic grilled aesthetics, precise joinery, and professional-grade results—every time you rout. It’s the smart choice for turning simple doors into architecturally compelling features that stand up to scrutiny from discerning homeowners and design professionals alike.
