Freud 99-522 Raised Panel Router Bit 2+2 Quadra-Cut 1/2 Inch Shank Straight Angled Profile For 3/4 Inch Stock Cabinet Door Making

Create Flawless Cabinet Doors with the Freud 99-522 Quadra-Cut Raised Panel Router Bit

Elevate your woodworking projects to professional standards with the Freud 99-522 Rounded Straight-Angled Raised Panel Bit. Designed specifically for cabinet makers and serious hobbyists, this high-performance tool is ideal for creating elegant raised panels for doors, drawer fronts, and decorative wall paneling. With a generous 5/8-inch carbide height, this bit is perfectly engineered to handle 3/4-inch thick stock, allowing you to craft substantial, high-quality panels with a distinct straight-angled profile that adds depth and sophistication to any room.

The secret to the Freud 99-522's superior performance lies in its revolutionary Quadra-Cut™ design. Unlike standard 2-cutter bits, this router bit features four cutters: two large wings that shear upward for a smooth finish, and two smaller wings that cut downward to shear the top edge. This opposing shear action eliminates the "fuzz" often seen on cross-grain cuts, resulting in a splinter-free, mirror-smooth surface that requires little to no sanding. Protected by Freud's exclusive Perma-SHIELD® coating to resist heat and pitch build-up, this bit is a durable workhorse for any table-mounted router setup.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: Raised panel bits remove a significant amount of material. To ensure safety and the best finish quality, reduce your router's speed to 12,000 RPM or less and make the cut in two or three passes rather than trying to remove all the material at once.
