The Bosch 1619EVS is even larger than that. They do a great job, and last a long time. The popular 5 piece set is what I initially bought. It also includes the door lock bit, which will turn your raised panel, into a drawer front by removing the material around the edge of the back of the door face. Overall this is a great set of bits. Because when making kitchen cabinets, the raised panel bit that they provide with the set is too small for a large cabinet. That requires a large opening of at least 3 5/8" on the bottom of your router, and the opening on your router table as well.
So measure first. Their are others also, but most fixed base 2 HP routers won't accept such a large bit.
Why. Not really recommended, because you might accidently adjust it into the base.
It includes the glue up joint bit, which is nice for gettting a lot of panels to line up properly while gluing. The Fein RT-1800 allows for the the use of a 3 1/2" bit, but the casting prevents you from plunging a bit that size.
Highly recommended. I bought this set as well.
(Unless you prefer that look) So I bought this set, to pick up the 3 1/2" panel raising bit.
