    How narrow of a panel can I safely run over my panel raising bit?

    Hey folks. I have a bathroom cabinet and vanity in the pipeline to build in a few months as you can see in the sketchup pic. The dimensions are not 100% finalized, but it's looking like each door might be about 11"W x 36"H with 3" rails and stiles. That means the panels will be about 5.5"W x 30.5"H and I'm using a Freud 3.5" panel raising bit which should cut about 1.5" deep on each side. Can I run a panel this narrow or am I asking for trouble? Should I take any extra precautions or use additional hold downs or something like that?

    Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it!
