Anyone have any recommendations for raised panel router bits? There seems to be a lot of options out there. What have you used before? What did you like? What did you dislike?
- but I must say its intimidating that big bit spinning in a router. Depending on the profile - hog most of the material out with a table saw first, leaving it slightly oversized - you'll be glad you did.
I would not recommend anything else than a very well built, heavy and solid router table with lots of HP. As a matter of fact a spindle shaper would be the best. That's my opinion...
I have one of theses for a router (vertical style) and one for my shaper. I could easily run panels too if youd prefer) theyre a piece of cake with a 5HP spindle and a powerfeed!I plan on using a 3.5" diameter bit. I am leaning towards the profile with the ogee. I saw one profile from MLCS that had an ogee wtih a bead at the top which seemed pretty neat. Let me know which bits you have and what you would want for them. I would certainly be interested.
