Freud 99-315 Vertical Raised Panel Router Bit 1-1/2 Inch Diameter 1/2 Shank Carbide Cabinet Door Making Woodworking Cutter

Safe and Simple Cabinet Door Construction: Freud 99-315 Vertical Raised Panel Bit for Standard Routers

Create stunning, professional-grade raised panel doors without the need for massive, industrial horsepower using the Freud 99-315 Vertical Raised Panel Router Bit. Traditional horizontal panel bits often feature large diameters that require powerful, variable-speed routers to operate safely. The intelligent vertical design of the 99-315 keeps the overall diameter to a compact 1-1/2 inches, allowing woodworkers to mill elegant door panels using lower horsepower or single-speed routers found in most home workshops. This tool effectively bridges the gap between enthusiast equipment and professional results.

Built to withstand rigorous use, this bit features Freud’s proprietary TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, delivering razor-sharp cuts across a wide range of materials including hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites. The bit is encased in Freud’s exclusive Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which significantly reduces friction, prevents heat buildup, and resists pitch and resin accumulation for a cleaner, burn-free finish. Designed strictly for use in table-mounted routers with a sturdy fence, the 99-315 offers a safe, stable, and cost-effective solution for producing high-end architectural joinery.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: Because you are running the panel vertically on its edge, stability is the key to a clean cut. Ensure your router table fence is tall enough (at least 3-4 inches) to support the workpiece fully. Always use featherboards to hold the stock tight against the fence, and never try to remove all the material in one pass—make 2 or 3 lighter passes for the best result.
