Ogee rail and stile bit (adjustable)

[paul aubin]

Hi All

Need a little help on the correct router bit selection.
I need to make some rail and stile doors with an odd panel thickness. The door panel will be 1/4 plywood with a layer of caning. final thickness will be between 5/16 and 7/16 .

Any suggestion on a good bit set. I only need to make six doors but am willing to spend a little extra on the bit to ensure a quality outcome.

The miniature door making set by Infinity (https://www.infinitytools.com/mini-door-router-bit-sets) should give a shallower ogee profile, leaving more room to widen the groove for the panel with a rabbeting or grooving bit. That set looks a lot like a set I bought years ago from Infinity's predecessor.

Whiteside, my other favorite manufacturer, makes a miniature set (#5742) too. Perhaps others as well.

No experience with that set, I have no issues with buying Freud bits.

I also don't have experience with that set or with other Freud router bits (maybe just a couple). The Freud saw blades I have are good quality. If that set has the dimensions you need, give it a try.

What are the minimum and maximum 'slot' dimensions? I've seen that style of bit demonstrated but don't own them. I was interested because they will make tenons longer than the common 3/8". I didn't understand how til I saw the demo.
