Popular Trend Products

Trend's raised panel moulding bit range includes traditional ogee panel raisers for classic styling, straight-sided panel cutters for shaker designs, and decorative profile bits for ornamental work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What router power do I need for raised panel bits?

Due to their large diameter, raised panel bits require a powerful router—minimum 1800W, ideally 2000W or greater. Always use these bits in a router table with variable speed control, typically running at 10,000-16,000 RPM depending on bit diameter. Never use large panel-raising bits in a handheld router.

Can Trend raised panel bits be resharpened?

Yes, Trend carbide-tipped router bits can be professionally resharpened multiple times, extending their working life considerably. Trend offers a resharpening service, or you can use specialist tool sharpening services across the UK to maintain cutting performance.

What material thickness works best with raised panel bits?

Most Trend raised panel bits are designed for material between 12mm and 22mm thick, with 18-19mm being optimal for traditional cabinet door construction. Always make multiple shallow passes rather than attempting to cut the full profile in one go.
