Use this rail and stile router bit set to create beautiful door frames for glass panel, flat panel and raised panel doors. Rockler rail and stile bit sets are manufactured to exacting standards and create perfectly matched cope and stick joints.

With ball bearing guide, you can even use a template to build doors with curving rails.

  • 5/8" Bearing.
  • 1/4" x 3/8" Groove.
  • K10 and K20 grade carbide for clean cutting action.
  • Final sharpening with 600 - 800 grit diamond wheels.
  • Precision balanced for smooth operation.
  • Baked-on anti-stick coating to reduce pitch and resin buildup.

    • If you are not 100% satisfied with these bits, send them back for a refund.

    Corner Cabinet
    I used the traditional rail and stile bit set to make the doors for a corner cabinet. They both worked well. I used the available jig to help setup the bits. Getting the rail bit height adjusted (even with the jig) always required a couple of attempts if you wanted the stile and rail to be perfectly aligned.

    Rail and stile bits and set up jig.
    Worked well. First time doing rail and stile panel project. Used to make backboard for a hall tree/bench. Set up jig was easy to use.

    Works like a champ!
    I ordered these bits not having any experience with stile and rail bits and I was pleasantly surprised with how easy they are to use. I did order and use the coping sled for end grain. It was worth every penny.

    I was not impressed with the template for configuring the bits. I ended up making my own template. The one I received seemed to be a hair off.

    I used the bits in a Ridgid R2200, which is 2 peak HP. I had zero issues with the power of the motor cutting into poplar. I have since upgraded to a Bosch 2.5HP.

    are set-up jigs avail. for all rail and stile bits?
    A shopper on Apr 12, 2015
    BEST ANSWER: No. You should refer to this web page before deciding which set of rail and stile bits to purchase: http://www.rockler.com/router-bit-set-up-jigs-rail-and-style-bits
    What router specs would you recommend for bits like this? As in how many horsepower? I'm looking to get a router to eventually use bits like these from Rockler. Thanks a lot!

    BEST ANSWER: I bought these and have not used them. I have various routers but a 2 1/2 HP should be more than sufficeient.
    I want to install glass panels so will I have to just use another bit to remove the back part of the grove ?
    Tim P on Sep 3, 2018
    BEST ANSWER: No additional bits should be required.
    One bit creates a channel for the glass while the other bit creates the mated shape for end to end assembly of the rail.

    Using 4 pieces of hard maple I was able to build cabinet doors with glass inserts with just these bits. Each piece was cut to size to account for mating of the stile and rail and depth of each groove. Glass was cut to size to accommodate the final interior dimensions of the dry fit frame.
    Good luck.
    Is router bit come with Router Bit Set-Up Jigs-Rail-and-Stile Bits?
    Cory C on Dec 5, 2017
    BEST ANSWER: I ordered it sepertly
    I have never used cope and stick router bits. My Milwaukee router is 1.75 HP will I be able to use these bits, or do I need a router with more HP? Thanks for your patience
    Seth S on Dec 17, 2015
    BEST ANSWER: Nick I would recommend 2.5 hp or larger. Also variable speed as most single speed routers develop about 25k rpm. You will have better results if you can bring that down to 14-16k rpm. Happy woodworking!
