5 Piece Set makes Shaker Raised Panel Doors and Cabinet Drawers!

SAVE $77! This professional quality 5 piece set features 1/2" shank router bits with carbide cutters. Contains all of the bits needed to make custom Shaker cabinetry for a kitchen or fine Shaker furniture. The Shaker philosophy was to remove unnecessary ornament and to find "beauty in utility".

WOOD BOX
Included

Shaker furniture reflected an ethic of modesty, equality, order and harmony. Use with wood stock up to 3/4" thickness.

  • The Shaker Raised Panel with Undercutter produces a flush or reduced upper panel profile, or adds a radius to the back of the panel. 2-1/2" large diameter, 1‑1/4" depth of cut.
  • Our Shaker Matched Rail and Stile (#8837) router bit set creates a precisely mated joint that forms an extremely strong "shaker" frame for your door. Both router bits have a 1‑5/8" large diameter
  • When the central panel needs to be wider than your stock, use the Glue Joint bit (#7853) with reverse cut edge joints) to mill two or more pieces of stock (1-1/4" max.) to reach the required width. Glue it up, then raise the panel. 1-3/4" large diameter.
  • The Drawer Lock Bit (#7852) creates matching reverse cuts in the drawer front and sides so the pieces fit together, forming a very strong joint. 1-3/4" large diam.

    Turned out great (4/5), Dec 23, 2016

    By Trace Farthing (Balko OK US)

    I'll admit it. I purchased this set because the price was right but I've used some MLCS products before with good results.

    Bits were very sharp. Storage box was nice. Setup was fairly straightforward and quick. I did have to add a shim to widen the tongue in the rail bit. Fortunately, they included several spare shims, washers, and nuts. They are very helpful and give me confidence that this set will work in a variety of situations.

    I didn't get the setup blocks. They only work with 3/4" stock. When is stock ever exactly 3/4"?

    I only wish the bits weren't painted grey. They nearly disappear when spinning. A bright color would be better.

    Set worked great (5/5), Apr 24, 2020

    By Dale C Maley (FAIRBURY IL US)

    This was my first time making raised panel doors, and the Shaker set worked great. The glue joint bit was amazing because I did not have to sand the joint hardly at all after glue up!

    Nice set, great price (4/5), Mar 31, 2014

    By Harold Schmidt (Okmulgee OK US)

    I have been using these to make doors for the last few days, they cut clean. The rail and styles came out great. The raised panel bit requires a 2 3/8" opening in your router table. I ended up lowering the bit into my router table top to let it make the whole bigger. Run the bit at number 3 speed on a Craftsman router since it is a large bit so you need to use a slower speed. I did get a little smoke from the bit when it hit some knots, so I upped the speed a little. Not recommended for a fixed speed router. I got some great doors made out of Walnut. Good product.

    Works as expected BUT!!! (4/5), Aug 25, 2020

    By Errol (Miami Fl US)

    Very easy to use, I don't like that you need a printer to see the the results.
    Was a bit disappointed to see there were no calculations for French Style Glass Doors. The center mullion (Stile) should be from top to bottom and the center Mullion (Rails) should be in two parts connecting to the Stile i.e. for the French Style Glass Doors.
    I wish that the Developer look into this and update the software so we can enjoy the additional benefits we so deserve.
    Other than those complain in question, it's a great Calculator once you enter the correct information.

    Looks good

    MLCS Raised Panel Calculator (4/5), May 6, 2014

    By Tom Sams (Dorchester SC US)

    Easy to use, accurate, nice print-outs that give you all the necessary information. Would have received 5 stars if: 1> there was a way to add additional cabinets of the same size. As it stands now every single cabinet has to be entered even if they are the same size. 2> If there was a cumulative cut sheet for the entire project. It would make larger jobs easier to sort and cut. 3> You could add cabinet information for the single door portion of the program.

    Newbie to woodworking (5/5), Apr 10, 2014

    By Hickoryknot (Watkinsville GA US)

    I couldn't build raise panels door without the calculator. Have completed three that look really good but none of them are prefect, yet. It is not the calculator fault, just learning how to do six different things at the same time is difficult as well as having to have everything you need at your finger tips. All the training aids from MLCS are very much appreciated and very helpful. I also like the raised panel door bits I got from MLCS.

    too simple (3/5), Dec 14, 2013

    By Richard Colman Sr. (Pittsfield NH US)

    I like to use 3/4" tenons, and 3/8" panel inserts. With this program they have to be the same. If you have to manipulate your dimensions after the program calculates sizes, might as will lay it out by hand to begin with.

    MLCS Raised Panel Project Calculator (5/5), Dec 24, 2011

    By Rance Bennett (Neenah Wi US)

    This little program is very handy. The instructions are a little lame but over all it was very helpful making my kitchen cabinets.
    Once I figured out the slot size including the space balls, creating the correct size door was a snap.
    In fact I have done over a hundred doors now and all were very accurate.
    I even made a raised panel filler panel with the MLCS Raised Panel Project Calculator that went across from one cabinet to the other with a valance below it.

    Very simple and easy to use.
