This Craftex Blue Tornado 2-piece rail and stile router bit set is designed for creating matching joinery for rail and stile doors, with bearing-guided cutting for both straight and curved work. Read Less
Built for cabinet doors, panels, and other frame-and-panel projects, this matched rail and stile set makes it easier to produce clean, consistent joinery. Both bits feature a 1/2" shank and 15° cutting angle, while the included bearings allow guided cutting on straight or curved workpieces.
Pair the set with a compatible raised panel bit to create complete raised panel doors and decorative panels. The bits are supplied in a wooden storage box to keep the matched set organized and protected between uses.
Craftex Blue Tornado bits are CNC machined for precise balance and smooth cutting performance. They are manufactured from 4140 and 5140 steel and heat treated for hardness and tensile strength. Tungsten micro-grain C3 carbide cutting edges provide durability and can be resharpened multiple times.
