Freud RP-E34 Performance System Raised Panel Profile Knife is engineered for cabinetmakers who demand precision and repeatable results when crafting raised-panel doors and architectural millwork. Built to work with 3/4" thick panels and 1/4" tongues, this knife delivers the robust, dimensional profile that elevates any cabinet or interior door project.

In practice, the RP-E34 shines when paired with Freud’s 3/4" rail and stiles. The result is a panel that slightly extends beyond the door frame, delivering that classic, shadowed edge and professional finish without sacrificing accuracy or speed.

The secret is in the knife geometry: a carefully engineered edge designed to virtually eliminate splinters on cross-grain cuts, producing ultra-smooth surfaces on both faces of the panel. This means less post-work sanding and a cleaner final assembly.

• Designed for 3/4" panels with 1/4" tongues. Precise profiles that lock into standard rail-and-stile configurations.
• Cross-grain tear-out control. Special geometry reduces splinters and ensures a clean cut on difficult grain directions.
• Panel extension beyond the frame. When used with 3/4" rails and stiles, the raised panel projects for a pronounced, professional look.
• Durable, repeatable performance. Part of the Freud Performance System lineup for consistent results across projects.
• Versatile for cabinetry and millwork. Ideal for interior doors, cabinet doors, and other raised-panel applications.

Who will benefit: professional woodworkers, cabinetry shops, and serious hobbyists tackling traditional, high-end doors and panels. If you’re upgrading an aging pantry door, refreshing a kitchen cabinet line, or building a feature door with a bold raised panel, the RP-E34 is built to deliver reliable results with fewer passes and less sanding.

Tips for best results: pair with compatible 3/4" rails and stiles, maintain a sharp edge, and cross-check the profile with your router setup to ensure consistent tongue depth across the panel. This knife is designed to integrate seamlessly into a Freud RP system workflow, helping you accelerate production without sacrificing accuracy.
