Freud RP-OPS 3-1/32” Diameter Raised Panel Back-Cutters are the modular solution for crafting classic raised-panel doors directly on your RP1000 head. This back-cutter is designed to work with knives RP-A, RP-B, RP-C, RP-D, or RP-E, giving you a single rig that handles multiple panel profiles without swapping entire setups.

Key benefits at a glance:

• Flexible compatibility: Works with RP-A through RP-E knives on the RP1000 head, so you can switch profiles without retooling your machine.
• Precise thickness range: Enables 3/4" to 13/16" thick panels while maintaining a consistent 1/4" tongue, ensuring uniform panel-to-frame joinery.
• Dedicated raised-panel back-cut: Specifically engineered to produce the back-cut geometry required for sturdy raised-panel doors and cabinetry.
• Streamlined workflow: One back-cutter system supports multiple panel sizes, reducing downtime and setup complexity in busy shops.

Who benefits most from the Freud RP-OPS back-cutters? cabinetmakers, hobbyist woodworkers, and professional shops building interior doors or raised-panel cabinetry will appreciate the ability to produce consistent, high-quality panels with minimal setup changes.

Use cases include constructing traditional raised-panel cabinet doors, interior doors, and custom millwork where a reliable 1/4" tongue and precise back-cut are crucial for a tight, professional fit. When paired with the RP1000 head and RP-A–RP-E knives, the RP-OPS back-cutters help you achieve a uniform profile across panels in a single setup, streamlining production and improving results compared with single-size back-cut options.

Tips for best results: ensure your RP1000 head is correctly assembled with the chosen RP-A to RP-E knife set, align the back-cut to the target panel thickness (3/4"–13/16"), and run multiple test pieces to confirm tongue consistency before committing to a production run.
