Freud RP-A34 Performance System Raised Panel Profile Knife—the dedicated tool for crafting authentic raised-panel doors with precision and ease.

This knife is designed for raising 3/4" thick panels with 1/4" tongues. When used with 3/4" rail and stiles, the panel will extend outside the door frame, delivering the classic, traditional look that woodworkers and cabinetmakers expect. The RP-A34 is engineered to tackle one of the most common woodworking challenges: cross-grain cuts that can leave splinters and rough edges.

• Designed for 3/4" stock with 1/4" tongues: precise profile depth and tongue width to ensure a proper, repeatable fit in standard frame-and-panel assemblies.
• Cross-grain splinter control: the knife’s geometry is optimized to remove splinters on cross grain cuts, delivering smoother edges ready for finishing.
• Part of the Freud/Diablo Performance System: compatible with other RP knives for quick, reliable changes and consistent results across multiple panels and doors.
• Panel projection aligned with rails and stiles: when paired with 3/4" components, the panel projects beyond the frame as intended for classic door aesthetics.
• Ideal for raised-panel cabinet doors and interior panels: a targeted solution for builders and hobbyists creating durable, visually refined panels.

Practical use notes: mount the RP-A34 on a router table or handheld router, set your depth to match the 1/4" tongue and 3/4" panel geometry, and test on scrap to confirm fit. Pair it with matching 3/4" rails and stiles to achieve the intended door-frame overlap and raised-panel profile without guesswork.

Why settle for a generic panel knife when you can rely on the Freud RP-A34 to deliver clean, accurate raised-panel results every time? It’s the smart choice for woodworkers who want authentic styling, repeatable performance, and a tool that integrates seamlessly into the Freud/Diablo Performance System for ongoing project consistency.
