Grote Ogee-paneelfrees – Whiteside 5900C

Cut clean through a solid-core door I was paneling, and the ogee profile came out mirror-smooth with no burning even at full depth. Two wings made the cut feel balanced and chatter-free on the router table.

This bit’s 3-1/4-inch diameter handled a full-depth panel in a single pass on my shaper, and the ogee profile came out perfectly smooth with no burning. I was impressed how cleanly the two wings cut through hard maple without any chatter. Well worth the price for a professional-grade result.

Finally cut some raised panels with this bit and the 3-1/4-inch diameter is a game-changer—it leaves such a smooth, deep ogee profile that I barely needed any sanding. I tried it on red oak first, and the two cutting wings handled the long grain without any tear-out.
