Hi, I recently bought a set of Freud cabinet maker's bits(the red ones in the 
wooden case) from William Alden. The Rail,Stile and Panel Jointing bits all 
run smooth but the Panel Raising bits makes more noise and vibrates a 
little(causes a droning sound).
The comination roundover/rabbiting bit is even worse,it makes a horrendous 
droning noise and vibrates alot. Is this normal or is this what I should 
expect from Freud. Please don't flame me, I am new at this.

Contact Freud Directly about your problem. It sounds very much like the
bit is out of balance. I wouldn't use it.

ANd then let us know..... Freud makes great bits and they should all
be in balance.. it sounds like ... Let me as this are all these bits
12 shank I know the Rail stile bits are... if the other bits are a
1/4" chuck it might be the chuck ... or the shaft on the bits.

Freud has great people... I bought a new freude 2000 and didn't get
the 1/4 in insert seated just right a scratched a Freud bit shaft on a
new bit.... Called Freud... they helped me "Seat" the insert and
Replaced the bit...... No Charge... Cool guys.

Personally, I seek out Freud whenever a new router bit is called for,
because I've never experienced anything but perfection when I've used them.
 Sounds like you got a couple of lemons, and I'd contact Freud about it
(and don't use them in the meantime!).  Their number is (800) 472-7307.
