Raised Panel Bits
Choose from a great selection of Raised Panel Router bits from Whiteside and Southeast Tool. These Raised Panel router bits are great for making beautiful patterns on cabinet doors. Choose stock size as appropriate for your project. Common size is 3/4" x 2" Stile and Rail and 5/8" thick panels for cabinet doors. You can use your stock size and door size to calculate the following for Whiteside Raised Panel bits:
Stile length = Door Height
Rail length = Door width - Width of both stiles + Interlock
Panel height = Dor height - Width of both rails + Interlock - Expansion
Panel width = Rail length - Expansion
Interlock = 3/4" (3/8" per side) on Whiteside full size Stile and Rail bis or 1/2" (1/4" per side) for Whiteside miniature Stile and Rail bits
Expansion: Typically expansion is 1/8" on cabinet doors. This can vary with dor size, green condition of wood, anticipated exposure to high humidity and species of wood.
Use the Stile bit to cut the entire length of the inside edge on both the stiles and rails. Use the Rail bit to make the matching cross grain end cust on the rails only. Use the Raised Panel bit to cut all four sides of each raised panel face down on the router table. Set Raised Panel bit height for proper tongue thickness.
Tongue should be 1/4" for the Whiteside full size Stile and Rail bits or 5/32" for Whiteside miniature Stile and Rail bits. *Allow extra stock if you are using the optional back cutter.
Standard glue joint or biscuits can be added for strength when gluing up larger panels. Glue only Stile and Rail joints. The panel should be allowed to "float" to allow for expansion or contraction.
Miniature Raised Panel Bits
These raised panel bits offer a reduced pattern that's ideal for smaller projects. Choose from Cove or Oge profile. When using miniature stile and rail bits, set the bit depth to leave a 5/32" thick tongue. Leaves only a 3/8" panel reveal after assembly. Great for small doors, chests, jewelery boxes, and more!
