CMT Bevel and Radius Rail and Stile Set - 1/2 in. Shank

CMT Bevel and Radius Rail & Stile Router Bit Set - 1/2 in. Shank

Create strong, professional-quality cabinet doors with the CMT Bevel and Radius Rail & Stile Set. Designed for precision woodworking, this matched set produces clean, accurate rail and stile joints with perfectly coordinated profiles—unlike reversible cutters that may only provide an approximate match.

These router bits are ideal for constructing panel doors from softwoods and hardwoods ranging from 11/16 in. to 7/8 in. thick. The bevel and radius profile adds a refined, decorative touch while maintaining the strength and durability required for long-lasting door construction.

Note: The CMT Rail & Stile Set is designed primarily for building panel doors using 3/4 in. thick rails and stiles. Material up to 7/8 in. thick can also be used; be sure to adjust cutting depth and measurements according to the thickness of your stock.

Features:

• Creates precise rail and stile joints for cabinet and panel door construction
• Matched profiles provide a perfect fit between rails and stiles
• Designed for use with 11/16 in. to 7/8 in. thick softwood and hardwood stock
• Produces a decorative bevel and radius edge profile
• 1/2 in. shank provides excellent stability for table-mounted routers

Safety Tips: Always wear a dust mask and eye protection when routing.

Safety Precautions: Never use damaged or worn router bits. Always operate at the recommended feed rate and avoid forcing the bit through the material. When using small diameter bits, take extra care during the initial cut and make multiple passes when necessary for the best results.

How CMT Produces High-Quality Router Bits

• Turning, Milling and Cutting: CMT uses advanced automated CNC machinery operated by specially trained technicians to ensure router bit bodies and shanks are manufactured with exceptional accuracy and balance.
• Heat-Forged Steel Bodies for Large Diameter Bits: Larger diameter bits may require heat forging before precision machining. This process creates a radial grain structure that increases strength, durability, and resistance to demanding woodworking applications.
• Precision Brazing: CMT's computerized brazing process eliminates inconsistencies found in traditional hand brazing. The silver-copper-silver brazing system creates a strong bond between the carbide and steel while providing shock absorption to help protect carbide tips during heavy cutting.
• Specially Formulated Carbide: CMT develops carbide grades specifically suited for different woodworking applications. Each formulation balances hardness, durability, and impact resistance to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of materials.
