1-3/8 x 2 Multi-Rabbet Bit For Variable Rabbets

1-3/8 x 2 Multi-Rabbet Bit gives you a single Amana Tool router bit that cuts multiple rabbet widths for casework, cabinet backs, and general profiling. The 1-3/8 inch diameter helps create a broad, clean shoulder along the edge, which supports accurate panel location in assembled parts. A 2 inch overall length keeps the bit compact, which suits many router table fences and handheld bases in tight shop setups. The 2-flute cutting design shears on both sides of the cut, which supports a smoother rabbet wall that needs less cleanup. A 1/4 inch shank fits routers and collets set up for 1/4 inch tooling, which lets this bit work in lighter routers commonly used on site or in smaller shops.

Key Multi-Rabbet Bit Details For Shop Work

• Six different rabbet depths in 1/16 inch increments from a 1/8 inch cut width to 1/2 inch let you match common back panels, drawer bottoms, and frame details with one setup family, reducing tool changes between operations.
• Six different bearings are provided as part of the system, and each bearing change adjusts the cut width, so you can repeat a chosen rabbet size across multiple parts while referencing the workpiece edge.
• A 1/2 inch maximum depth of cut capacity allows rabbets up to 1/2 inch deep, giving room for thicker panels or stronger shoulder engagement on cabinet and case joints.
• A 1/2 inch cutting height works well on typical cabinet and furniture stock edges, so the full rabbet profile fits within common board thicknesses used in woodworking.
• Use in handheld or table mounted routers means the same bit handles edge work on installed parts with a portable router and production runs on loose parts at a router table.

Rabbet Router Bit Dimensions That Affect Fit

The 1-3/8 inch diameter (D) defines the outer shoulder of the rabbet, which positions the cut relative to the bearing for consistent offsets along long edges. A cutting height (B) of 1/2 inch sets the maximum vertical engagement, which matches many cabinet side and shelf thicknesses without burying too much flute in the cut. The depth of cut capacity of 1/2 inch controls how far into the edge the rabbet can extend, which helps when sizing grooves for panels or backs that need more support. The 1/4 inch shank (d) and 2 inch overall length (L) balance reach and rigidity for typical profiling work.

Using This Multi-Rabbet Bit In Woodworking Projects

Where This Multi-Rabbet Router Bit Fits Best

This Amana Tool multi-rabbet bit sits in the profiling class of router bits, so it supports edge work such as cabinet backs and panel rabbets. The range of rabbet depths, stepping in 1/16 inch increments from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch cut width, lets you choose sizes that match common sheet goods used for cabinet backs and drawer bottoms. With a depth of cut capacity of 1/2 inch, the bit can form deeper shoulders that help locate thicker panels in carcass sides. The 1/2 inch cutting height also aligns with many stock thicknesses, which allows you to keep the full rabbet inside the board without overcutting. Because it can be used in handheld or table mounted routers, this bit serves both installation work on assembled pieces and batch production on loose parts in the shop.

Details That Support Repeatable Rabbet Results

Six different rabbet depths in a single system give you predictable step changes, so once a bearing size is chosen, the resulting rabbet width can be repeated across doors, backs, or frames. The six different bearings adjust the rabbet in 1/16 inch increments, which helps when fine-tuning fit around panel edges without changing the bit itself. The 1-3/8 inch diameter body keeps the bearing close to the cut, helping the bearing follow the workpiece edge for consistent offset. A 2-flute layout balances the cut around the bit, which contributes to smoother operation and a cleaner surface that can move directly to assembly or light sanding. The 1/4 inch shank integrates with routers set up for 1/4 inch tooling, helping maintain consistent collet grip and alignment across cuts.
