Create Professional Raised Panels Safely: Freud 99-320 Vertical Router Bit for Standard Horsepower Routers

Achieve the classic look of raised panel doors without the need for a massive, industrial-grade router using the Freud 99-320 Vertical Raised Panel Router Bit. Traditional horizontal panel bits have large diameters that require high-horsepower motors and dangerously slow speeds. The innovative vertical design of the 99-320 significantly reduces the overall diameter to just 1-1/2 inches, making it safe and effective for use with lower horsepower and single-speed routers. This bit allows hobbyists and professionals alike to craft elegant raised panel doors for cabinets and furniture using standard shop equipment.

Engineered for precision and longevity, this bit features Freud's premium TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, ensuring razor-sharp cuts across a variety of materials including hardwood, softwood, plywood, and composites. The bit is finished with the exclusive Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating, which minimizes heat buildup and prevents pitch and resin accumulation for a cleaner, burn-free finish. Designed strictly for use in table-mounted routers with a sturdy fence, the 99-320 offers a safe, efficient, and cost-effective solution for producing high-end architectural joinery.

Key Features

  • Low-Horsepower Friendly: Vertical design reduces bit diameter, allowing use with smaller, single-speed routers.
  • Versatile Cutting: effortlessly cuts through composition materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods.
  • TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Proprietary carbide blend stays sharper longer for a flawless surface finish.
  • Perma-SHIELD® Coating: distinctive red coating prevents rust, reduces friction, and resists resin build-up.
  • Table Mount Exclusive: Designed for safe operation in router tables equipped with a tall, sturdy fence.
  • Classic Profile: Produces a traditional raised panel profile suitable for various furniture and cabinetry styles.

Pro-Tip: When using vertical raised panel bits, stability is critical because the workpiece is standing on its edge. Always use a tall fence (at least 3 to 4 inches high) and featherboards to keep the panel firmly pressed against the fence. For the cleanest finish and safest operation, make the cut in multiple light passes rather than attempting to remove all the material at once.
