Woodhaven Standard User Manual
BEFORE BEGINNING
Identify and verify that you have all
the parts listed. Read the instructions at least
once to fully understand how the Standard
Door Templates work.
TEMPLATES
The Standard Door Templates are not
for use on a shaper. We manufacture a line
of HD Door Templates (5457-5468) for the
shaper.
The templates are engraved with the
PART SIZE RANGE it is designed for,
from 5-6" up to 16-18" parts. Each pair
of templates (10 rail and 10 panel) are the
same length.
The templates are designed with a
5/16" overlap. When used with a flush trimming bit, they will cut the panel and rail to
precise overlapping and mating contours.
The Standard Door Templates are
not to be used with a cope & pattern
bit or raised panel bit, unless you have
our Frame & Panel Master (5435 - see
back of page) or HD Frame Master &
HD Panel Master (5432 & 5433).

TOP RAIL WIDTH
The 5450 & 5460 templates (1-3/4"
rise) are designed for 4" finished width rails
and the 5451 & 5461 templates (2-3/4"
rise) are designed for 5" finished width
rails. All will have a 2-1/4" wide rail at the
narrowest point. If you want narrower rails,
rip them down after using the template or
offset the template/fences on the part using
spacers. For wider rails, cut wider stock and
don't use the fences.
The Arched Templates (5460 or 5461)
may cut a slightly narrower rail than 4" or
5", depending on where the end of the arc
falls on the part length.

FIGURING FRAME SIZE
If you're using 2-1/4" wide stiles with a 3/8" deep groove in them, the finished frame size will be 3-3/4" larger (2-1/4" - 3/8" = 1-7/8" x 2 = 3-3/4") than
the PART SIZE engraved on the template. For example a 5-6" template + 3-3/4" =
8-3/4"- 9-3/4" finished frame size. Using the formula above, with your stile width
and groove depth, figure the dimension to add to the engraved part size to find your
finished frame size.

ATTACH FENCES TO TEMPLATES
The Standard Door Templates include two pair of fences
so both a rail template can be setup for rails and the mating
panel template can be setup for panels.
When cutting Rails the fence notches should face in
towards the center. When cutting Panels the fence notches
should face out away from the center. See fig. 1.
Insert a lock washer on a 1-1/4" screw. Insert the screw
thru the back (smooth side) of the fence and thru the back
(non-engraved side) of the template in one its mounting holes.
Install a washer and a knob on the end of the screw to fasten the
fence in position. The lipped edge of the fence should be butted
against the edge of the template. See fig. 1.

MARK & CUT PROFILE
Using the center mark on the template edge as a reference,
adjust the position of the fences to center the part on the
template. Trace the outline of the template on the part and cut
it to shape, staying at least 1/8" away from the line. See fig. 2.
Fasten the template to the part using double stick tape. You
may also nail or screw the template to the part by drilling holes
in the template. Place the holes in a position so that the resulting

marks in your finished part will not be visible after machining
or assembly.
Machine the parts to shape on your router table using a
flush trimming bit, with the bearing on the bit following the
template. See fig. 1.
Remove the part from the template and make the pattern
cut or raised panel cut by having the bearing of the bit follow
the shaped edge of the part.

DOOR TEMPLATE ACCESSORIES
The 5435 Frame & Panel Master (shown with optional
toggle clamps), or the 5432 HD Panel Master & 5433 HD
Frame Master, are work holding jigs that eliminate fastening
the template to the part. They speed up the work process and
provide a safe work holding platform for optimum control.
The optional 2 pc. "L" series Standard Door Template set
(5450L, 5460L 5451L & 5461L) are for 18-20" parts, 2" wider
then those covered by the largest template in this template set.
Great for Euro style cabinets, etc.
