Re: Shaker Style Cabinet Door

The freus website is awful.?
These are the profiles included in the rp2000 kit. It's really only 5 profiles with and without the back cutter used. For a bit over $300 including all the optional profiles it's a very inexpensive option.?

I settled on the innovator head because I can pretty much get any profile up to 2 3/4¡± long.
I can easily see the finer details on the sets from the likes of Rangate and Whitehill but boy they are expensive. In time I may splurge but at the moment will have to make do.

While not ideal due to the small diameter (under 6") compared to larger heads it offers a lot of profile options and works well in mdf. The carbide is sharp and fine grained enough to leave a good finish is solid wood as well.? Imran,
You need carbide knives to profile MDF panels,?HDF is even harder than MDF. MDF?is good enough for the door panel.
MDF/HDF will null the HSS knives very quickly. Years ago, I used a block plane to chamfer the HDF flooring board edge (I routed the groove on one side, so I can join the flooring boards along the door opening). The plane knife was dull after chamfering a total 6 feet flooring board.

Our kitchen has the basic raised panel on the interior.
This is for the cabinets that flank the murphy bed. I asked in case someone has done something unusual which may be interesting to build.
Paint is an option and I had not considered MDF. Tempting as it is a lot less work. I have used MDF but have not profiled it. Understand that it is messy and bad for the tooling. The head I have uses HSS knives.
Keep them coming ? ? Well my next project is using Shaker style cabinet door. I would like to find out what raised panel profile you think looks good on the interior.
I imagine, the raised panel profile may go hand in hand with a rail and stile profile as well but I am okay no profile on the rail and stile. Which means, I would just be milling a tenon on rails.
There are way too many options out there so something from experience is very helpful.
I would close by saying that I am omitting, a flat plywood panel, as an option. I think it would make the door light and lend to a low quality feel. Please correct me if I¡¯m wrong in thinking so.
