A couple of things... - Article for this video: jayscustomcreations.com/2018/01/cabinet-doors-from-router-bits/ - This is the bit set I used: amzn.to/2CAoXdF - Link to the router lift build video: th-cam.com/video/2WyOskBpz_k/w-d-xo.html - When using the raised panel bit the dust collection wasn't as effective. I'm not sure if that's because the large amount of material being removed, the feed rate, the sliding fence pieces, or if I need to block off the extra air space next to the router. Either way, it's the only bit I've used in the setup where dust collection was not almost 100% effective. - Have a great day.
This is the best tutorial on the construction of a raised panel door that I've seen. Thanks for doing so many videos that we "weekend woodworkers" can use and relate to.
When I glue up raised panel doors like this, I like to put one coat of finish on the panel by itself before assembly. It allows the panel to move a little more smoothly with expansion and contraction, as well as not leave the “finish line” exposing bare wood with movement. It also makes it a little easier to clean up the glue, not having to work so hard getting all the “nooks and crannies” cleaned out. Loved this vid, great explanations all the way around Jay.
I am making a free standing pantry and have been looking at my current cupboard doors wondering which router bits I would need. Awesome video...again....
Very nicely done video. I just got my first set of router blades to do the raised panels and was working with them today. I had a few issues which were driving me crazy and which I finally figured out. I wish I had seen your video first and I am sure that the afternoon would have gone easier. Thank you for the video.
This has to be one of the finest how-to videos I have ever seen. You are not only an amazing woodworker, but also an excellent teacher. Your creativity is inspiring. And it is also nice to have a twin cleaning up in the background ;). Well done, and thank you.
Glad to have watched this. I have just bought a set of six cutters and three of them are for the doors on cabinets similar to what you machined. The other cutters are a drawer lock joint, a cutter to make a glue joint for the panel and another for a door lip. Your test backer glued up door is a must for these big cutters, so thank you for sharing I will be using your method.
Jay, I am half way though a 25 door re-do of my kitchen using a cheap bit set from Amazon and your router lift xl. It has been so darn nice to have the lift. Ease of bit change, adjustment, and dust collection has made the job so fun. My old cabinets belonged in a 1960's camp trailer. Now I have new flat panel shaker doors that look awesome.
Very nicely done and a great explanation. That’s a nice setup if you don’t have stock feeder on a large shaper. We ran so many raised panel doors with a guy I worked for several years back that he dished out the money and bought a stock feeder for his powermatic shaper. It makes it a lots easier and faster, but you just don’t get that feeling of accomplishment with a large shaper and stock feeder. But when you’re making an entire set of cabinets every 1 to 2 weeks for 3 years, it made things a lot easier and mind settling for us.
Wow I thought I had seen some GREAT VIDEOS, but this one topped em all. most of which happened to be yours. I loved the way you showed just how easy it is to make even the smallest adjustment to the height of the router. I am no where near ready to start making panel doors of any kind but when i get to that point there will be NO FEAR! you removed all of that, if nothing else I totally understand the planning it out part. THANKS JAY for all you do and say.
Jay. I have watched many TH-cam videos on this same subject of making a cabinet door. This is by far the best one that I have seen. It was clearly explained ( even when you made a misstatement, it was corrected) in both your math as well as the set up and process in the cutting of the parts. Thank you for doing a great job.... again.
Absolutely Awesome Jay! I'm 62, retired, and in the process of gutting a cheap Delta shaper table and adding a router lift for a Porter Cable 7519. I've enjoyed woodworking as a hobby and You are truly inspiring. I used to train in another mechanical field and would have hired you in a heartbeat for your excellent organization, engineering and training skills! Thanks so much for sharing your time and inspiring us!
Thanks, Jay. That sure was a lot easier than I always figured it would be. And if you’re sick of all that hickory in your shop, I’m more than happy to take it off of your hands. 😊
This was very helpful. When I bought my router I made sure to get one that I could do cabinetry on knowing that I would want to in the future. I hadn't made the investment in the bits yet. But last night someone gifted me a set they bought, used once (I think) and haven't touched since. When I did a search I was super happy to find that you made this video. I know I can always count on learning from your videos. Thanks for sharing this! I can't wait to use my new bits.
Thanks for going back in time for a "bit" (no pun intended). I've followed you since all you built was 2 by with pocket holes (loved the synced music and driving screws). Anyways, the coping/push block is great. Besides preventing tear out and getting blood on your router table, you get a setup block for future projects and if the edge gets too badly chewed up, just run it through the table saw and good as new. All without spending hundreds at Rockler. Thanks.
Jay, excellent job. If you want to give yourself a treat, cut the raised panel by hand. Yep,use planes (beads & coves) to make the profile. Time consuming, frustrating, hard work, BUT of all the cabinets I've built, the two I'm most proud of have hand cut raised panels.
Jay, this was a great video! I am going to be making my first raised panel doors, soon and your video is exactly what I need to do the job right. I realized, too that I need different router bits to make that happen as I bought the ones I now have before having all this information. You explain everything very well and I will watch this a couple more times before I start the project. Also, the nuns I grew up with in Catholic grade school would be very proud of you for catching the "actuality" correction in your final statement. Thanks, again for a superb demonstration! Dave
Thank you so much!!! This video really helped me. I always struggle with math and layout. I especially like how you wrote everything out on a scratch pad and showed the math. Please show more steps like that in your future builds. Your router table and lift is awesome!
This video was easy to follow even for a novice woodworker as myself. For those more experienced (or perhaps for those of us just beginning) maybe Jay can demonstrate how he built his adjustable router mechanism. Jay's videos are always well done. Cheers!
Great video, you made it look easy. I have to make a few doors and was a little leery of trying raised panels but you gave me confidence. You are a great teacher, you explain everything so clearly. Thank you!
The details in the video are perfect. I like to use space balls to keep the panel centered and from moving around. If it stays centered, the edges that the don't have finish or paint won't peek through. The space balls also keep the door from chattering when they open or close, just in case the door shrinks or expands non-uniformly.
I have watched this about 1000 times and just this morning I went out and made my first door. You made it so easy. Thank you for the superb instruction
Just wanted to say thanks for the videos. Great content and great editing. Really impressed with how great youve got the audio dialed in - you cant tell the difference between your voice overs and when youre actually talking.
hahaha. I recorded the voice overs in front of the camera as I went and just used that audio for the other parts. I did it that way because at that moment I knew exactly what I wanted to say and also because the audio would match :)
Much better than the cabinet making class I took at Woodcraft. This is a perfect video for raised panel door on a router table!! Router table and fence is on the list for sure.
Jay, Apologies for not seeing this sooner. I watched this video because I bought a router table so I can make raised panels for a set of cabinets I am making. This is the first set I am making and I am fairly pleased with the progress. Any way, reason I am writing is to suggest that you could mount a ruler on the side of your router extension, behind the raise/lower bar and add a pointer, if for no other reason then to be very repeatable. Just a thought.
Another great and informative video from you Jay. I like seeing the layout process on paper for a change. You demonstrated this very clearly, but I can 100% back you up on the ease of micro adjustment with your router lift. I just finished building mine from your fantastic set of plans and I am very happy with how it turned out. It was dead simple to build, and it works great. Also, after seeing how nicely the PC 75182 swings that big panel bit, I’m glad I went with that beast of a router.
Nice door! Nice router lift. You could add a temporary micro adjustment with a block and a fine thread tee nut and cap screw ,screwed under the lift arm. I think it works fine the way you you do it.
Great video!! The explanation was excellent and easy to understand and follow. I have seen door making kits and wondered how easy they are to use. I had it in my head you had to be a expert cabinet maker I guess I was wrong.
Nice one, got some useful tips from this one! My bits finally arrived and I'm starting routing my kitchen panels tomorrow. It's my first woodworking project so wish me luck!
Love it. Can't wait to build myself a router table with a lift like that. I like your breakdown on figuring out your pre-cuts. Obviously people learn this early on, but it's nice to provide help for new enthusiasts.
thanks so much for putting this video together for us amateurs. Great video easy to follow easy to understand. Im looking forward on making some doors just like you made thanks again
Jay for the first minute or so when you were talking I thought you were missing a thumb, those bits look like miniature Japanese temples and nice work as usual.
This is a great video for first timers such as myself. Clear and easy to follow. Was looking for a descent set of bits and your choice also helped. Thanks and great job!!!
Nice job, personally I prefer the Sommerfeld tools matched cabinet making router bits, set one bit and all the others are set too...no messing around with moving the router up or down. I would recommend using a width or 2 1/2 inches for your stile and rails, that size scales nicely (looks very pleasing on any size door) but more importantly leaves plenty of meat for pocket hinges and other cabinet hardware. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Mark Sommerfeld had a good video on setup. This is also a great simple video. Mark had a tip on putting a rubber gasket underneath the collet. If the bits are matched you won't have to readjust the height for the cope and stick bits.
Great timing on this video. I was just starting on a project that has raised panel doors. Looks like I might be building a new router table, very nice.
Very well explained and shown. I have been using a scrap piece of wood as a follower for years, I love your idea with the lip to make it easier to grip.
Thank you. I appreciate your videos. You should be a teacher. You are thorough in your explanations, and your tutorials are easy to follow. Thanks for being THAT GOOD☺☺☺☺!!!!
Jay love the videos. If you had a miter slot in the front of your table they make a miter square that has a squeeze clamp that makes those end grain cuts nicely. I've noticed that sometimes without it, the workpiece might vibrate towards the cutter. Just a thought.
Mr. Jay Bates, Good Morning. When u do the next series of-Raised Panel doors, I would like for u to show how to slow the Router Speed Down on the Raised Panel Cutter, Please. Keep up the good work and God Bless. Mr. Granville S. Wright, Admirer-For U could watch Mr. Norm Abram do this, For Example.
Your video tutorial was clear and informative. You clearly explain each bit of the set and its function very well. Thank you for creating a great learning video on making raised panel cabinet doors! Will we see the hickory door in a future project? Hope so. ☺
Yea I made router lift from Jays plans (the XL version) and it really is easy to match the height of the bit to exactly what you need. Just rotate your hand like he said. Took me roughly 11 hours or about 3 days on and off to build. Works like a charm. Looking to create my own cabinet doors as I just got similar bits myself. Thanks Jay!
Excellent video Jay. I built doors in a cabinet shop for 3 1/2 years. The block is a necessity behind those rails to avoid the tearout. We did use space balls to keep the panel from rattling in the frame. I would be interested to see what kind of expansion/contraction you have with the seasonal changes. (y)
From my experience in Mississippi, we don't have much seasonal expansion and contraction. It's pretty humid all year so I haven't noticed much on previous projects. Except for the single time I used kiln dried lumber. It's too dry for Mississippi so all it expanded quite a bit for a few months then stayed about the same.
Great great video. I appreciate the way you explain how to determine the size bds to use for all three components. I agree with your thoughts on naming the bits. I think most people understand tongue and groove as opposed to the way they are named. Keep the great videos coming!
Awesome video! Really enjoyed that you took the time to explain how you found the measurements of the various pieces and the cut list. Cheers from France !
That was a good video, Jay. It addressed what I had been wondering myself. I did envision the same type of micro adjusting of the bit and it was great to see my thoughts in action. Thank you for the post!
Great video jay. I have had a freud door making bit set I got for free when I bought my router table but what always terrified to try using it I may give it a shot now. Thanks for all the info
nice setup. i always like making several cuts to get to the finish dimension. it avoids heat, burning,sap and gum release from the wood. nothing more frustrating than a gummed or varnished tool
Great video. When cutting the larger board for the styles and rails, recommend that you include the blade kerf in the measurement. It was not a factor in this case, but I've had a couple of projects where the last board was short by "just that much..."
Wow you've got quite the untapped reservoir of a resource here then. I've been following Jay for a few years at this point and have really enjoyed his growth and development. It has felt natural, approachable, informative, and engaging :)
A couple of things...

Very informational video Jay! I enjoyed it!
I like your Router table out the ones I've seen made.Nice setup!What kind of wood is that on the door?
Love how organized and functional your shop is
Thanks. It's always changing for the better.

This is the best raised panel door video I’ve seen. Thanks! I’m going to go watch the build video of that mitre table.

The space balls also keep the door from chattering when they open or close, just in case the door shrinks or expands non-uniformly.
Jay, Once again you have done a very nice job at explaining the process in doing the raised panel door cabinet door.
Very impressed with the lack of sawdust during your operations here. Great job
I have watched this about 1000 times and just this morning I went out and made my first door. You made it so easy. Thank you for the superb instruction
yup.. youhave to watch it like a 100 times to fully understand how to adjust the heigth of these router bits,, they are a bit tricky
Just wanted to say thanks for the videos. Great content and great editing. Really impressed with how great youve got the audio dialed in - you cant tell the difference between your voice overs and when youre actually talking.
hahaha. I recorded the voice overs in front of the camera as I went and just used that audio for the other parts. I did it that way because at that moment I knew exactly what I wanted to say and also because the audio would match :)
I have never seen a more helpful/informational video in my life. Incredibly well done. Thank you!
Much better than the cabinet making class I took at Woodcraft. This is a perfect video for raised panel door on a router table!! Router table and fence is on the list for sure.
I love that adjustment deal you have. That can be more accurate that a digital one. It's all in the feel of it.
Jay,

You make woodworking seem so easy, even for beginners like me. Many thanks.
Nice door! Nice router lift. You could add a temporary micro adjustment with a block and a fine thread tee nut and cap screw ,screwed under the lift arm. I think it works fine the way you you do it.
Great Job Jay! Made the coping sled and it works perfect. "No need to use gold when stainless steel will do"
Great video!! The explanation was excellent and easy to understand and follow. I have seen door making kits and wondered how easy they are to use. I had it in my head you had to be a expert cabinet maker I guess I was wrong.
Beautiful Jay. The box sled is genius!! Loved the math and drawing to figure things up. My hero!
Nice one, got some useful tips from this one! My bits finally arrived and I'm starting routing my kitchen panels tomorrow.
It's my first woodworking project so wish me luck!
Love it. Can't wait to build myself a router table with a lift like that. I like your breakdown on figuring out your pre-cuts. Obviously people learn this early on, but it's nice to provide help for new enthusiasts.

Awesome project and great way to show how much you can get out of one board.
I know this guy knows what he is doing.Real knows Real my friend
Excellent explanation of how to set up that door. Thanks
Great timing on this video. I was just starting on a project that has raised panel doors. Looks like I might be building a new router table, very nice.
Awesome perfect cut.👍
Wish to have one...
Thank you so much for sharing sir...
Great simple video explaining a raise panel I'm now confident in tackling my doors
Have the same set read the directions? You make it so simple. I'm set now thank a lot great info....
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Good work!
I have a set so thanks for showing me how to use it. Have not had a chance to use it yet but at least now I have an idea on how to use it. Thanks
The raised panel door now looks doable to me. Thanks!
Love the special effects with two Jays at one time. One Jay standing on the side explaining what the other Jay is doing on the table saw.
Thanks for the upload! My wife picked me up this same set of bits for Christmas from a tool sale, your timing couldn’t be better. :)
You're lucky Sir👍
Very well explained and shown. I have been using a scrap piece of wood as a follower for years, I love your idea with the lip to make it easier to grip.
I really appreciate how you take the time to explain things. I've probably learned more from your channel than any other.
Thank you. I appreciate your videos. You should be a teacher. You are thorough in your explanations, and your tutorials are easy to follow. Thanks for being THAT GOOD☺☺☺☺!!!!
- Excellent demo. Very clear, concise info. The wood was very attractive as well.
BEAUTIFUL, and seems SO EASY. Though my equipment is NOT has powerful as your setup.
Door came out nice. I am encourage to try this for our laundry room.
Jim
Great video you demonstrate the cutting better than any video i have watched before👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Jay, now I want to make all my doors with raised panels.
Excellent video, Jay! I have a couple panel bit sets that my Dad gave me that this will definitely help with future door projects!
Such a satisfying process with beautiful results.
Jay love the videos. If you had a miter slot in the front of your table they make a miter square that has a squeeze clamp that makes those end grain cuts nicely. I've noticed that sometimes without it, the workpiece might vibrate towards the cutter. Just a thought.
I spent the money on Freud and do not regret it. Might not have regretted cheaper ones, but I really do like the Freud.
Mr. Jay Bates, Good Morning. When u do the next series of-Raised Panel doors, I would like for u to show how to slow the Router Speed Down on the Raised Panel Cutter, Please. Keep up the good work and God Bless. Mr. Granville S. Wright, Admirer-For U could watch Mr. Norm Abram do this, For Example.
As usual making the difficult easy....Well done Jay!!!
Your video tutorial was clear and informative. You clearly explain each bit of the set and its function very well. Thank you for creating a great learning video on making raised panel cabinet doors! Will we see the hickory door in a future project? Hope so. ☺
Yea I made router lift from Jays plans (the XL version) and it really is easy to match the height of the bit to exactly what you need. Just rotate your hand like he said. Took me roughly 11 hours or about 3 days on and off to build. Works like a charm. Looking to create my own cabinet doors as I just got similar bits myself. Thanks Jay!
Glad to hear that, Adam!
One of your best videos Jay. Thanks for your attention to detail!
Excellent video Jay. I built doors in a cabinet shop for 3 1/2 years. The block is a necessity behind those rails to avoid the tearout. We did use space balls to keep the panel from rattling in the frame. I would be interested to see what kind of expansion/contraction you have with the seasonal changes. (y)

Great video. Excellent router setup. Nice and quick work. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for your detailed information. It was very helpful 😊
Very well presented Jay.
Good work Jay. I believe it is called "Scribe and Profile" in the UK, I don't know why. Regards
Very nice work, very satisfying seeing the end product.
Best set up video on raised panels I've seen. Thanks again Jay!!
I love the way you maneuver the router, just amazing. Just amazing, you got a new subscriber.
Awesome video! Really enjoyed that you took the time to explain how you found the measurements of the various pieces and the cut list. Cheers from France !
Just an exceptional "how-to" video of seting raised panel cabinet door router bits. Thanks Jay.
That was a good video, Jay. It addressed what I had been wondering myself. I did envision the same type of micro adjusting of the bit and it was great to see my thoughts in action. Thank you for the post!
Great video jay. I have had a freud door making bit set I got for free when I bought my router table but what always terrified to try using it I may give it a shot now. Thanks for all the info
nice setup. i always like making several cuts to get to the finish dimension. it avoids heat, burning,sap and gum release from the wood. nothing more frustrating than a gummed or varnished tool
Great video. When cutting the larger board for the styles and rails, recommend that you include the blade kerf in the measurement. It was not a factor in this case, but I've had a couple of projects where the last board was short by "just that much..."
I just subscribed and this was the first video my wife and I saw of yours - absolutely excellent work. Really looking forward to new videos!
Thanks for the kind words, Brent :)
Wow you've got quite the untapped reservoir of a resource here then. I've been following Jay for a few years at this point and have really enjoyed his growth and development. It has felt natural, approachable, informative, and engaging :)
Excellent video. I've had a set of panel cutters for about 5 years. I may actually get around to using them. Thanks
Nice work, thanks, Jay. Love the Dragonfly apron!
Thanks a lot Jay, This is the best video about using this kind of router bits I've ever seen. Clear and well explained, thanks again.
I really enjoyed watching this video. It will help me a way forward. Thanks 🙏
Very well done video Jay. Your teaching skills continue to improve.
