Whiteside 6009 15° Shaker Cabinet Door Router Bit Set – 1/2

Overview

The Whiteside 6009 is a two‑piece router bit set designed to help you craft classic Shaker‑style cabinet doors and frames with precision. With a 15° bevel, it delivers a clean edge that suits traditional and contemporary looks alike. The set uses a 1/2 in shank for stability and can cut through typical cabinet stock cleanly, enabling you to shape stiles and rails for cabinets, furniture, or built‑ins with authentic 1/4 in panel inserts.

Key benefits you can expect

• 15° shaker bevel for a contemporary yet timeless edge
• For cabinet door construction with 1/4 in panels
• Optimized for stock from 5/8 to 7/8 in thick
• Reveal width 3/8 in and panel thickness 1/4 in
• Use the #6008 set for undersized panels (7/32 in or 5.5 mm thick)

Stock compatibility and panel details

Designed to work on 3/4 in material, this set features a cutting diameter of 1-5/8 in and a cutting length of 13/16 in. The results are well‑balanced edges that fit genuine panel inserts, making it suitable for raised panel doors, frames, and built‑ins that follow a Shaker motif.

• 1-5/8 in cutting diameter provides ample reach for rails and stiles
• 13/16 in cutting length supports clean profiles without over‑reach
• True 1/4 in panel inserts align with classic Shaker panels
• 1/2 in shank adds rigidity for steady routing

Versatility and practical use

Beyond cabinet doors, you can adapt the set for furniture components and built‑ins that call for authentic detailing. If you need other profiles, swapping the groover or tongue cutters on the same body opens up additional joinery options without buying a new tool set. The overall kit is designed to streamline workflow while preserving traditional aesthetics.
