Quadra-Cut Design for a Consistently Clean Finish
The exclusive Quadra-Cut design uses four cutters for a flawless finish. This innovative cutter design works by utilizing two of the cutters for an upward cutting action, while the other two cutters simultaneously cut downward. The result is an amazingly smooth finish that requires no rework.

Back-Cutting Design for Smooth, Professional Paneling
If architectural accuracy is a priority to you, the 99-571 is your answer. Thanks to its back-cutting design, this router bit can produce panels that are absolutely flush with a doorframe and have a full 1-1/2 inch reveal.

Use the 99-571 Raised Panel Router Bit with Back Cutter on any table-mounted portable router that accepts a 1/2-inch shank for creating professional-quality raised panels on doors and paneling, as well as decorative tops, plaques, and molding. The resulting panels will exhibit a glassy smoothness, even when you're tackling cross-grain applications.

Create a classic double-sided look on your panels with the patented 54-562 radius back cutter--or, if you're looking for a more contemporary appearance, replace it with the optional 54-560 square back cutter. To give you compatibility with most stile and rail cutters, the kit includes shims that allow for tongue thickness adjustments.

The 99-571 features a one-inch carbide height that easily accommodates stock measuring 3/4 inches.

Durable Design with Protective Coating to Resist Heat and Corrosion
Freud equips all of their router bits with their exclusive TiCo Hi-Density MicroGrain carbide for maximum durability and cutting life. In addition, Freud shields their bits from heat, rust, corrosion and wear by coating all of their Quadra-Cut Router Bits with their exclusive non-stick, red Perma-SHIELD coating.

The 99-571 Raised Panel Router Bit with Back Cutter is three inches long with a 1/2-inch shank and an overall diameter of 3-1/2 inches. This bit produces a beautiful two-radius design with a large radius of 1-3/16 inches and a small radius of 5/32 inches for a unique, custom look.

Two of the carbide cutters have an upshear angle to remove most of the stock. Then the pair of downshear cutters make a final cut to produce an ultra clean edge.

This review is from: Freud 99-571 1/2-Inch Shank 2+2 Ogee Raised Panel Bit with Backcutters (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a really smooth cutting bit. Especially considering the overall diameter. But, be aware that it does not have a guide bearing. I have no idea why it wouldn't but it doesn't. It still works just fine it just takes a little more work to set up. Great bit...could've been better.

This review is from: Freud 99-571 1/2-Inch Shank 2+2 Ogee Raised Panel Bit with Backcutters (Tools & Home Improvement)

Makes for a very nice raised panel- did leave some burn marks on the red oak I was machining. Probably had more to do with my lack of experience than with the bit. I was also expecting a bearing- not sure how I'll do curved panels without one.
