Whiteside Ogee Stile Profile Bit for MDF Doors, 1/2 in. SH x 1-1/4 in. LD

Whiteside Ogee Stile Profile Bit for MDF Doors, 1/2 in. SH x 1-1/4 in. LD is expertly designed to create the illusion of raised panel construction in MDF and solid panel doors. This ogee profile "Stile" router bit produces a clean, simple raised panel effect in a single pass, making it ideal for both professional production work on solid door machines and CNC routers, as well as hobbyist woodworking projects. When used alongside a complementary "Panel" bit, it achieves a more authentic raised panel appearance with numerous combination possibilities. The bit features a 1/2 inch shank and a 1-1/4 inch large diameter, with a total length of 2-1/2 inches, and is carbide tipped for durability and precision. For hobbyists, adding a bearing to the shank allows pattern cutting with a template guide, including options for arched door patterns. The bit requires a B16 bearing secured with a LC12 (1/2") lock collar, ensuring smooth and accurate cuts. Adjusting the depth of cut can add distinctive steps to the panel reveal, and additional door edge profiles can enhance the finished look. Manufactured by Whiteside Machine Company in Claremont, North Carolina, this bit is a reliable choice for achieving professional-quality raised panel door designs. Model Number: 5630
