This time I wasn't able to find the info I was looking for.
I recently bought a freud router bit set (94-100) for $40.us. After closer inspection I discovered that 1/2 of the Matched 99-260 rail and stile set is chipped and broken. The question-can the carbide be replaced? if so, by which company? or do I just junk it and buy new.
also
any recommendation on a sharpening service close to Seattle? I looked at freuds site and got a couple of authorized sharpening centers but couldn't find a web site or a listing by the BBB so I will turn to the fine people on this site for a recommendation.
thanks to all.

Jim,

For the price you paid I will also assume you bought the set used and the damage may have been the reason for the low price. I definitely do not recommend that you try to use the bit if it is damaged in any way. If you would like to return it to Freud for warranty evaluation, we will be happy to inspect it to see if there was a manufacturing defect but I cannot guarantee that it will be covered. PM or email me for return info.
