There's no need to buy a heavy-duty router to make your own doors. Because of their smaller diameter, vertical panel raising bits require less horsepower and can be run at higher speeds than their horizontal counterparts. A vertical bit takes a much smaller "bite" out of the stock so your router won't get bogged down in the middle of a cut. We offer vertical panel raising bits with 1/2" & 1/4” shanks. Choose the larger shank diameter if your router collet will accept it.

This cove vertical panel raiser has a 1-5/8" cutting height and a 1-1/8" large diameter. The shank is 1/4" in diameter. Take care not to push this bit too hard, make multiple passes and insert the shank at least 80% into the collet.

Works as you would expect and made a clean cut. However I had to then use a straight cutter to flatten the tongue so it slid into the frame. As it was, a good baseboard cutter but, for door panels, the tongue should be a tongue, not a wedge. However, my drawer fronts do look really good.

I had to spend 30 minutes fabricating a router platform with a 3-5/8" throat opening from some 1x6 lumber and fasten it on top of the router table in order to use this very large bit. However, once this was done, it took just one pass around each edge of the center panels of shaker style doors to turn theme into perfectly beveled raised panels for the overhead bin locker doors I made. These doors closely matched the store bought doors on the closets below the bin lockers.
