Additional Freud 99-569 3-1/2-Inch Raised Panel Bit with Back cutters Information
|
An industry leader for over 50 years, the Freud name equals quality, precision and craftsmanship. Freud router bits feature Freud made TiCo Hi-Density Carbide for maximum cutting life. Each bit is individually balanced, giving a cut above the rest. Revolutionary Quadra-Cut design employs four cutting edges vs. two, for a flawless finish that requires no sanding or rework. Two carbide cutters have an up-shear angle to remove most of the stock while the second pair of down-shear cutters makes a final cut to produce an ultra clean edge. These bits are ideal for creating raised panels for doors and paneling as well as decorative tops, plaques and modeling. Patented design allows these bits to produce a full 1 1/2" wide reveal for traditional raised panel doors.

What Customers Say About Freud 99-569 3-1/2-Inch Raised Panel Bit with Back cutters:
|

I think an old review criticized the packaging. My bit came with excellent packaging. Project went well, I sold it for $2,000.
I bought this about 2 years ago and used it to make about a dozen raised panels. I've used the bit together with the freud set 97-106 and it works very well. It's a good bit and creates very smooth, beautiful profiles. I usually take 3 to 4 passes to remove all the material (that's when using 3/4" mahagony). However, the bit's main disadvantage is it lacks a bearing which makes it impossible to use this on an arched panel - at least I'm not aware of a safe way to use a 3.5" bit without bearing without a fence. so, anyone contemplating to buy this, I'd instead recommend to get the 99-519 bit.
Produces very smooth cuts with no tear-out on top. I like the backcutter in that it produces the back cut at the same time. I have only used this on pine and was able to route with one pass, although I would probably make at least three passes with a hardwood.
