24 / Stile & Rail Bits
A matched set of stile and rail bits and a router table. That’s all it takes to cut the joinery and create the decorative profile on the frame of a raised panel door.
Jigs & Accessories
28 / Frame & Panel Jig
This shop-built jig solves the biggest problem of gluing up a frame and panel door — keeping the door perfectly flat. The secret is a pair of cams that apply clamping pressure directly in line with the frame.
