    Woodcraft Raised Panel Bit Set

    Now that I'm going to build a router table, I'm thinking of adding raised panels to the blanket chest I'm in the process of building.

    I came across this raised panel set from Woodcraft the other day:

    http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=5844

    It's on closeout for $59.99 (regular price - $119.99). I've never used Woodcraft Brand bits before and I'm concerned about the quality since Whiteside, CMT and Frued sets sell for $200+ at many places. Compared to those, this Woodcraft set seems like a bargain.

    The set would be used to make cherry raised panels trimmed out in soft maple.

    I don't have any plans for using this set on any upcoming projects other than the blanket chest, so that's why I'm looking at a cheaper set. If I were doing a whole kitchen, I would look at the more expensive sets.

    With that being said, am I going to get nothing but dissappointment out of this set, or should it be an okay set for light use?

    Thanks in advance.
