Build Perfect Custom Cabinet Doors with Freud's Adjustable Router Bit System

Elevate your cabinetry projects with the Freud 99-863 1-11/16-Inch Premier Adjustable Rail and Stile Router Bit. Featuring a classic Round Over Bead profile, this highly versatile 1/2-inch shank bit empowers woodworkers to build flawless, professional-grade doors in a wide variety of materials ranging from 5/8-inch to 1-1/4-inch thick. Unlike standard rail and stile sets that limit your design options, this patented Freud system utilizes highly precise adjustable shims. This allows you to easily customize the panel groove width from 7/32-inch for thinner plywood panels up to 3/8-inch for thicker, solid wood raised panels, guaranteeing a tight, rattle-free fit every time.

Beyond its adjustable groove capabilities, this premium router bit system features Freud's patented extended tenon technology, which allows you to mill extra-strong, long tenon joints for heavy-duty cabinet and furniture doors. Constructed with Freud's exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide and designed with unique cutter geometry, this bit effortlessly slices through hardwoods and softwoods while completely eliminating tear-out. Finished with a protective Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating to resist heat, friction, and pitch buildup, this heavy-duty bit guarantees maximum cutting life and a flawless material finish. Please note, due to its size and application, this bit is designed exclusively for use in table-mounted routers.

Pro-Tip

When routing the end grain for your rails to create the matching cope profile, tear-out is a common issue as the bit exits the wood. To prevent this, always use a coping sled or a push block fitted with a scrap wood backer board behind your workpiece. This supports the delicate wood fibers through the entire cut, ensuring a perfectly clean, gap-free joint for your custom cabinet doors.
