TREND Panel bevel cutter | 18/20X1/2TC

Trend 18/20X1/2TC panel bevel cutter (A=10°, 50mm) with 1/2" shank

Trend 18/20X1/2TC is a panel bevel router cutter designed for forming a bevelled raised-panel profile on timber and MDF, producing a clean, consistent moulding in cabinet and joinery work.

With a 1/2" shank and a 50mm diameter, the 18/20X1/2TC is intended for use on stationary machines, helping you achieve repeatable results when making solid wood panels and matched panel-and-frame details.

Key Features

• Panel bevel profile: Shapes a bevelled raised-panel moulding for panel-and-frame style joinery.
• Optimised speed range: Designed to perform best at lower router speeds (12,000–18,000 RPM) for controlled cutting.
• Timber & MDF suitability: Suitable for use on natural timber and MDF.
• Matched system option: Matches Trend’s range of profile scribers for coordinated panel work.
• Workshop best-practice guidance: Recommends alternating growth ring direction when gluing boards to help reduce cupping in solid panels.
• Cleaner end-grain approach: Advises cutting across end grain first so any breakout is removed when cutting with the grain.
