Warning: Make sure the router bit is properly fastened and tightened in the router’s collet and the bit can rotate freely without any obstructions.
Instructions: Slowly dial up the RPMs on your router to the recommended maximum. Then, dial back if needed to find the “sweet spot”. The sweet spot is the speed at which the least resonant vibration is present. If the sweet spot cannot be achieved within 5,000 RPMs of the max, check the collet for residue or other debris and start over.

Plunge cutting faux panel doors is a practical shortcut to achieving the look of raised panel doors with less effort and comparable beauty. Ogee groove router bits are a popular choice for making faux panel kitchen cabinet doors. These bits can transform a flat panel into a beautiful rail and stile alternative. While often used in CNC machines, profile groove bits can also be used in a handheld router using a fairly simple perimeter jig.
