Craft Custom Doors with Precision: Freud 99-862 Premier Adjustable Rail and Stile Bit

Achieve flawless joinery and professional aesthetics with the Freud 99-862 Premier Adjustable Rail and Stile Router Bit. This innovative tooling system is engineered to build perfect cabinet doors using stock ranging from 5/8" to 1-1/4" thick, offering unparalleled versatility for your woodworking projects. Featuring a classic round-over bead profile, this bit utilizes Freud's patented technology to produce extra-strong long tenon joints, ensuring your doors remain square and durable for generations. Whether you are working with thin plywood panels or solid wood raised panels, the included adjustable shims allow you to fine-tune the groove width from 7/32" (5.5mm) up to 3/8" (9.5mm) for a rattle-free fit.

Designed for the serious woodworker, the 99-862 features unique cutter geometry that virtually eliminates tear-out, even in cross-grain cuts. The bit is crafted with Freud’s exclusive TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide for maximum sharpness and extended edge retention, while the Perma-SHIELD® Non-Stick Coating reduces heat and prevents resin buildup. Optimized for table-mounted routers, this adjustable system allows you to mill hardwood or softwood door parts with ease. For added functionality, the system is compatible with optional cutters (sold separately) for double-sided doors or glass panel construction.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: Because this bit is large (1-11/16" diameter) and removes a significant amount of material, always reduce your router's speed to the recommended 16,000 RPM or lower. For the cleanest cuts and to prevent motor strain, make the profile cut in multiple passes rather than trying to remove all the stock at once.
