   Chief,
   I bouht a set from woodcraft about 6 months ago on sale..all three pieces were about $78..I'm sure they are not top shelf.
   Also, Norm has a router show on last week that shows how to use the cutters...maybe it'll show in your area.

   I would suggest a two piece matched S/R set over the stacked or reversible bits. And a panel raiser with out the back cutter. Definitely 1/2" shanks.

   Got ahead of myself,  You do have a router table with a variable  speed 3HP router don't you ?

   I prefer making the S/R's from 3/4" stock and the panel from 5/8" stock, that eliminates the need to back cut the panel. I use Eagle America bits almost exclusively.  Available at http://WWW.eagleamerica.com 

   And yes, I do work there.  But love the bits. 

    

    

   Work Safe,  Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

   Steve,

   Do you want shaper cutters or router bits? The most popular profile we offer is the Ogee but the most versatile is the Cove.

   By varying the thickness of the stock you can vary the width of the profile without affecting the look. Also, a 3/4" stock panel raiser can be used for 5/8" stock. With other profiles, part of the profile is lost if you use a 3/4" panel raiser for thinner stock.
