The Ultimate Freud Raised Panel Shank 99 519: Unmatched Quality and Precision Review

Makes work easier when creating cabinet doors. The beat is sharp. It took several passes to get clean edges, but that's to be expected.

I've never built a closet with raised panels so I did some research and used the infamous YouTube for ideas. It was just what I needed to match the cabinets we are adding.

Freud routers are among the best in the world. They also cut cleanly and flawlessly across the grain. Always start with cross sanding and work your way through counterclockwise to avoid chipping. I've used this cutter for both 3/4" and 1/2". Width can be as little as 1" and as much as 1 1/2. Super versatility. Ideal for false panels or decorative edges.

I have chosen to always buy router bits from Freud because I have always liked them and this bit is no exception. Right off the bat, this beat cuts beautifully. I reduced the speed of the router to around 11,000 rpm due to the size of the bit and tested it on a piece of pine. The cut was absolutely clean, without chips and arson. I really like the Quadra Cut technology, but at this bit size it tends to scatter a lot of chips everywhere no matter how good you dust at collecting. Honestly nothing
