You won't find their slow pace a big problem if you're not in a hurry and are making just a few panels. Finally, vertical bits can only make cuts along straight edges. So, they won't help you make arch-topped panels. Note: Build the frame that the panel will fit into before you start the following procedures.

Then, you can test-fit your first panel and be confident that all of your panels will fit in their frame grooves. With vertical panel-raising bits, you stand workpieces on edge as you feed them, so you need a tall router-table fence for support. We've had our best success with the fence shown at left.

It has a guide bar that holds the bottom of the panel in firm contact with the router bit for a consistent cut. It also helps to keep your hands away from the bit. After building the fence, clamp the guide bar in place, adjusting it so a panel snugly fits between the bar and fence. The panel should slide smoothly, but without any slop.

We positioned the bar, by placing two pieces of scrap panel stock between the fence and bar as shown in Illustration A. Illustration A. Hold your panel as shown in Illustration B , and make a cut along the end grain.

Hold the top of the panel in solid contact with the fence, being careful not to tip the bottom of the panel into the bit. Feed the workpiece slowly to prevent scalloped cuts and grain tearout. The ends are especially susceptible to tearout. Don't pause as you feed, or the bits will burn the wood. Make the same cut along the opposite end, and then cut the edge-grain sides. Illustration B. With a pencil, mark the position of the fence on both ends of the table, as shown in Illustration C. These marks will help you reposition the fence for subsequent panels.

Make the cuts, remembering to cut the ends first, and again mark the position of the fence. Repeat this procedure until you cut the profile to its final depth. Illustration C. Depending on the wood, you may be able to take deeper cuts without any problem. But, it's best to err on the side of shallow cuts--even when you get smooth results with deeper cuts. Large chunks of wood can unexpectedly break free from hard, open-grained woods, such as red oak, seriously marring the panel.

If you're making multiple panels, clamp some stops onto the table in back of the fence, as shown in Illustration E. Visit the Frequently Asked Questions section. We may already have the answer for your questions.
