Panel Profile Bits

Whiteside

Product Description

These Panel Profile Bits from Whiteside Machine Co. give the illusion of raised panel door construction in MDF and solid panel doors. These bits, when used individually, produce a nice simple raised panel effect in one pass. Or use one of the "Panel" bits in conjunction with the "Stile" bits to create a more authentic raised panel reveal.

Many different combinations are possible. See Bottom of Page.

Notes & Usage

Although originally designed for solid door machines and CNC routers, the addition of a bearing to the shank will allow you to cut your pattern by following an edge guide. The guide can be four strips clamped around the perimeter of the door. The top strip may be curved for an arched pattern.

Follow the guide and rout both profiles. There's no need to move the guide for the second cut. A large bearing on the panel bit itakes care of the offset.

Use Bearing #B16 for the Stile bits and Bearing #B24 for the Panel bits. Secure the bearings to the shank with a #LC-1/2 Lock Collar. When making the second cut, match the depth setting of the first cut to obtain a pattern with a flat bottom or vary the depth to add an extra distinctive "step" in the bottom of your reveal. Complete the door by adding a door edge pattern around the outside edge.
