Designed for the serious woodworker, the Freud 99-566 Quadra-Cut – 3-1/2 Inch Dia. Bevel Profile Raised Panel Router Bit with Back Cutter 3/4-Inch Stock – 1/2-Inch Shank features a non-stick Perma-Shield coating and Freud’s patented Quadra-Cut design for a smoother finish that requires no rework. Quadra-Cut employs four cutting blades, rather than the industry standard of two, allowing you to create smooth raised panels on all composition materials, including plywood, hardwood, and softwood. Thanks to its patented back-cut design, the panels it produces are flush and accurate. And because it’s constructed with Freud’s exclusive TiCo Hi-Density Carbide MicroGrain material, this durable router bit is designed to last.

Quadra-Cut Design for a Consistently Clean Finish

Back-Cutting Design for Smooth, Professional PanelingIf architectural accuracy is a priority to you, the 99-566 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 99-566 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 99-566 features a one-inch carbide height that easily accommodates stock measuring 3/4 inches.
