- Projects that demand repeatable results across multiple panels, with minimal tear-out on cross grain cuts.
Practical tips for best results
- Pair the RP-D knife with the RP-D back cutters (RP-OPS or RP-OPB) when working up to 3/4" panels to maintain consistent profile geometry across the panel depth.
- Set up with proper grain direction to maximize tear-out resistance on cross grain edges, then finish with a light pass for a flawless edge.
- Maintain the cutting edge with regular inspection and re-sharpening as part of your routine to keep profiles crisp and dimensionally accurate.
