Make Stile and Rail joints on your router table. The interlocking design plus the raised panel groove are both cut in one pass. Ball bearings control the cutting depth and also allow use on rounded, arched, or special shaped doors. With these two piece sets, simply switch router bits to change from cutting stiles to cutting rails. Ideal for stock from 5/8" to 7/8" thick. PLYWOOD PANEL STILE
AND RAIL CONVERSION KIT #6000X $36
This set-up is for cabinet door construction with undersized 1/4" (actually 7/32" or 5.5mm) plywood panels. Whiteside's conversion kit converts the regular full size Stile and Rail Router Bits to the narrower groove required for the plywood panels. Purchase for numbers 6001-6006 only. The groovers have a 1-5/8" diameter with a 5/16" bore. The most popular Stile & Rail sets can be purchased ready to use just for plywood panel construction. Order 6001X for round pattern or 6002X for ogee pattern.
The Reversible Stile and Rail
router bit assembly makes both cuts for a full size panel by reversing
the components. Ideal for stock from 5/8" to 7/8" thick.
The Reversible Stile and Rail router bit assembly makes both cuts for a full size panel by reversing the components. Ideal for stock from 5/8" to 7/8" thick.
These miniature Stile & Rail sets work just like their full size counterparts. They feature a reduced pattern and a reduced tongue and groove (5/32" x 1/4") suitable for smaller projects. Works with 7/16" to 3/4" thick stock. Shaker Style Stile & Rail
Make the Stile and Rail cuts for glass doors using Whiteside's full size two piece Stile & Rail Sets (Whiteside #'s 6001-6006). No extra components are required. All that is needed is to stagger the cutting edges and stack both groovers on the Stile bit. Use both bearings (no groover) on the Rail bit. Now make your cuts just like in normal door construction. Cut the inside edges on all four pieces with the Stile bit. Trim the ends of the Rails with the Rail bit. Assemble the door and insert glass pane. Use clips or corner trim mold on the back side to hold the pane in place.
Construction: Choose stock size as appropriate for your project. For example, 3/4" X 2" Stile and Rails and 5/8" thick panels (without optional back cut) are common for cabinet doors. Use the Stile bit to cut the entire length of the inside edge on both the Stiles and the Rails. Use the Rail bits to make the matching cross grain end cuts on the Rails only. Use the Raised Panel bit to cut all four sides of each Raised Panel faced down on the router table. Set Raised Panel bit height for proper tongue thickness. Tongue thickness should be 1/4" for the full size Stile & Rail bits or 5/32" for the miniature ones. Allow extra stock if you plan to use the optional back cutter. Use the Standard Glue Joint or biscuits for added strength when gluing up larger panels. Cut all components and test fit. Then glue up and reassemble. Glue only the Stile and Rail joints. The panels should be allowed to float to allow for expansion and contraction. Check the door for square immediately after gluing up. It may be helpful to pre-stain the raised panel because part of the concealed portion of the tongue may become visible later due to contraction. Complete the door by adding a door edge pattern around the outside edge. To
