In this episode of The Router Bits, Patrick discusses why the Vertical Panel Raising Bit may be a better bet. Unlike the Horizontal Panel Raising Bit, this router bit is less intimidating in the table and easier to run. But it does require some extra setup. After watching this video you will be able to make a more educated choice between the Vertical and Horizontal Panel Raising Bits....
A useful tutorial using these cutters. I think the main reasons these are made vs. the horizontal cutters is that it is better suited to less powerful routers. Also it is a cheaper option. The drawbacks are, as you say, a longer set up and process. If you were to do a big panel though it would start to get a bit unwieldy and a horizontal cutter with a more powerful router would be better suited.Thanks for sharing ! :)
Can't believe 43 viewers gave this a thumbs up. Anyone thinking about doing this will have had a lot of experience with making raised panels with 'conventional' methods. So, rather than nearly 13 minutes, the principle could have been conveyed in 3-5 minutes.
Hi Benny. Thanks for leaving a comment. However, we don't accept the premise that "anyone thinking about doing this will have had a lot of experience with making raised panels with 'conventional' methods."
Tutorial videos are best not to presume anything of the viewer in terms of what they know, don't know, have done or haven't done. Hence the detailed nature of this video. And, hence the dozens of thumbs up it has received.
Very informative. Thank you. I found the music a bit distracting though.
I'm using this method to make full size doors where the two stiles and the top and bottom rails are the entire frame with one single glued up panel in the center, , kind of like a gigantic cabinet door panel. The panel will be about 28 inches wide and about 7 feet tall with the top being a half circle arch. I've worked out that the only way I'm going to accomplish this is if use my entire dead flat 4x8 work table as the base for the door to lay on and mount the router horizontally into a fence that I'll need to build. This will give me much more control over the huge work piece and I will still have the benefit of being able to use the vehicle panel bit. Will it be worth it to do this as opposed to just using the massive horrizontal bit, you might ask? Well another benefit is that I also have a much bigger range of how long I can make the flat part of the panel that goes into the groove before it turns up and becomes the shoulder of the raised face, if that makes any sense, because I can keep raising the bit till I can't raise it anymore giving me a greater range of how wide I can get it. With a horizontal bit, you get what you get as far as how wide the bit is and that is your limit.
I'm making about 4 of these doors. And, yes, this is a major pain in the stones to do it this way, so with the money I'm making for this project, I'm going to go invest in a shaper and some shaper cutter bits.
Thanks for posting this tutorial, I guess I'll order one of these router bits and give it a try. What would you recommend as a minimum height for the auxiliary vertical fence?
Timbecon, I recently purchased a Bosch vertical raised panel bit and tried a few test cuts with some small pieces of pine. Cutting with the grain is no problem, but when making the cross grain cuts it splinters. How can I get a more clean cut on the cross grain with this bit? Is there a particular speed? I thought about placing some masking tape, but wasn't sure if that would gum up the bit during the cut.
Hello! It shouldn't be doing that - I believe Bosch bits are made by Freud and rebadged so are a good quality bit. Sometimes Pine can splinter - but I am wondering if you are using a featherboard to hold the piece securely in place so that there's a consistent pressure against the fence/work piece that may reduce or prevent it?
Silly question, but would a featherboard, ir double stack feather board help with this process?
I absolutely think so, if you had a double-stack pushing your panel to the back fence you could keep your hands away and focus more on the downward/forward motion.
Jason Buie crazy timing, I just glued up my third panel door. Built the fence 2 ft tall for these 34” long panels😳
But thanks for the advice 👍🏻
