Your Rail & Stile set is designed to mill joints in stock from 3/4” to 7/8”
thick. These instructions are based upon a door with 3/4" x 2-1/4" stiles
and rails. For other sizes, adjust the following set-up instructions accord­ingly. Be sure your stock is straight & flat with perfectly-square edges.

Set up cut #1 as shown, making test cuts on scrap stock. (Keep lots of
pieces of scrap handy) Make this cut on one edge of each stile and rail.

Now, set up cut #2. Make cut #2 across both ends of each rail. When
cutting rails to length, allow 7/16" for each tenon. If your stiles are 2-1/4"
wide, your rails should be 3-5/8" shorter than the width of the door.

TIP: To prevent tear-out when routing rail ends (Cut #2), clamp a back­ing board to your miter gauge or right angle fixture.

Cut #1: One
edge of each
stile and rail.
