I beleive it was a 3.5" bit.I measured from where the edge of the stile to hight part of the panel and i got about 1.5".

Have you been to http://www.whitesiderouterbits.com/catalog.html#catimgs.  Look under MDF Cabinet Bits - they have a good assortment and some that look very similar.

I would suggest due to the size the panels have been done on a spindle moulder (oops sorry a shaper!). A router bit for that size panel would be quite an expense for a one off and difficult to control to a smooth finish on a router table.

Would you have a local joinery shop that could run the panels through for you, it looks a fairly standard panel profile.

CMT makes an ogee cope and stick set very close to this profile. Thier panel cutters don't have that extra lip on the outer edge like that. If you have a shaper, and depending on the size of the project, you can have cutters ground to match fairliy inexpensively.

I was thinking the same thing.

Does this look like the one?

The issue with the rail/stile/panel bits is that this is for MDF, I think, where one uses a solid sheet and one bit to create the look of the rail/stile/panel door.

Perhaps I am wrong here, but I think MDF doors are one piece.

MDF doors are generally one piece, however the OP made no mention of MDF.

Eagle America carries one for use in MDF, it's a lot smaller than what you're looking for.

Is it just me or does a router bit exist that can carve those inside corners out of one piece?

Yes, but only if it's attached to a $100K+ CNC router... [tongue]

MLCS has a bit that looks similar.  I did not see measurements etc, for you particular need, but they will probably have it.   Whiteside would be my first choice.

Tom,

I have seen them where one bit is used for the "frame" and a different one used "panel" and sometimes a third for the outside detail.

The drawback is that the inside corners for the 'frame' have a radius, casting the appearance of 'single piece door'. To the best of my knowledge you cannot achieve the appearance of a true stile & rail door with a single panel.

Mrs. home owner probably cannot tell the difference on a painted door, most of us here however, could.

I would think the easiest way would be to use a 3-piece set and make continuous rails plus stiles & panels. It would look like it's supposed to and be relatively easy to assemble on the wall.

Upon reexamining the photos, it does appear to be a basic rail and stile frame with a raised panel.  Should be pretty easy on a router table/shaper - the rails and stiles won't need it, but the panel will.  Whiteside has a set that would work.

If I'm understanding the question in play we're talking about a raised panel bit, not rail and stile bits. Looks like you could use a regular straight (maybe it's an ogee?)raised panel bit to cut the first part and a second chamfer bit without a bearing like Festool's or Kreg's to make the second step/cut.

Yes it is the raise panel bit that i am trying to get.I have been thinking about using a second bit to get the look.Not a bad idea!  The rail and stile looks like an ogee style,i have those bits.I also have bevel raised panel bitl.I have not been able to find a bit with the same look.It's not really a big deal.The homeowner told me that whatever is close to it would be fine,but i'm just trying to get as close as possible.I don't have the job yet,but it is good to be prepare!!

Thank you all for your replies

Here are some raised panel bits.

If you look at the detail pages, there is a drawing that shows the profiles they cut.

From the photo's I would say the panel needs to be done in two hits by router, one for the shape next to the fielded section of the panel
and another for the chamfered raised part. Failing that it may be cost effective to use a scratch stock method to produces the end result( or go real old school and make a moulding plane to do the job ;D).
Bespoke router bits are horrendously expensive more so than getting cutters and limiters for a spindle moulder/ shaper.
