Frequently Asked Questions

What router bit does this slot cutter work with?

The 23-PLY slot cutter is designed for Infinity's 91-521 Combination (1-Pc. Ogee) Rail & Stile router bit only. It does not work with Infinity's 2-Pc. Rail & Stile router bit sets. Find more router accessories here.

Why would I use a 5.9mm kerf instead of the standard 1/4"?

The 5.9mm kerf is sized for plywood panels, which are thinner than solid-wood panels. It produces a groove that grips plywood snugly so your panel doors fit tight and rattle-free, where a standard 1/4" groove would leave the panel loose.

What is the bore size of this slot cutter?

The cutter has a 5/16" inside diameter (bore), which matches the arbor on the 91-521 rail & stile bit it replaces the cutter on.

How do I install the 23-PLY cutter?

Simply disassemble the one-piece 91-521 rail & stile router bit and replace the standard 1/4" kerf slot cutter with the 23-PLY. No other tools or parts are required.

What does the 3-wing anti-kickback design do?

The 3-wing anti-kickback design limits how much material each wing can grab, which makes the cutter feed more smoothly and safely while reducing the chance of kickback. It's a feature shared across all of Infinity's premium slot cutters.

Can this cutter be sharpened?

Yes. The 23-PLY uses thick micrograin carbide tips that can be re-sharpened repeatedly, giving you long service life from a single cutter.

What is the outside diameter of the cutter?

The slot cutter has a 1-3/4" outside diameter, paired with a 5/16" bore and a 5.9mm kerf.

What kind of projects is this cutter for?

It's made for building plywood panel doors, such as cabinet doors, where you want a snug, rattle-free fit between the plywood panel and the frame. Explore more router accessories for cabinet work.

Will this cutter work in a handheld router?

Rail & stile and slot-cutting work is safest and most accurate in a router table. Pair the 91-521 bit and 23-PLY cutter with a router table for the best control on panel doors.

Does this replace the cutter or add to it?

It replaces the standard 1/4" kerf slot cutter that ships on the 91-521 bit. You remove the original cutter and install the 23-PLY in its place when you want to cut 5.9mm plywood grooves.
