Insert-Pro Raised Panel Shaper Cutters

Insert-Pro Raised Panel Shaper Cutters for Cabinet & Kitchen Doors

A properly raised panel is the visual centerpiece of any frame-and-panel door, and the Insert-Pro Raised Panel Shaper Cutters from Infinity Tools give woodworkers the precision and flexibility to achieve it consistently. Like all Insert-Pro tooling, these raised panel cutters use interchangeable knives on a common cutter body, so profile changes and knife replacements are fast and economical.

Raised Panel Cutters and Backcutters

The Infinity Tools Raised Panel Insert-Pro Shaper Cutters (1-1/4" Bore) machine the classic raised panel profile found on traditional and transitional cabinet doors. The Insert Pro Radius Backcutter Shaper Cutter is used after the raised panel pass to relieve the back face of the panel, ensuring a smooth fit inside the door frame without forcing or binding.

Complete Door Sets and Replacement Knives

The Infinity Tools 2-Piece Kitchen Door Shaper Cutter Sets (1-1/4" Bore) bundle rail-and-stile and raised panel capability in a matched pair, making them a practical starting point for shops adding door production. When knives dull, individual Replacement Knives for Insert-Pro Raised Panel Shaper Cutters and Replacement Knives for the Radius Backcutter keep your setup running without full-cutter replacement. Pair raised panel work with rail and stile tools from the Insert-Pro Shaper Cutters for Cabinet Doors collection and add accessories from the Insert-Pro Shaper Cutter Accessories collection.
