Figure F. Stile and rail assembly.

—If the bottom edge lines up, but the top does

not, make sure the thickness of the stile mate-
rial is the same as the rail material.

—If both the top and bottom edges do not line

up as shown in

Figure D, adjust the height

of the shaper spindle, or fine tune the cutter
height by placing the included metal shims
between the bushing and the profile cutter.

—If the panel wont slide into the groove in the

stile and rails, place a metal shim between
the guide bearing and the profile cutter as
shown in

Figure E.

We stress the importance of working with good qual-
ity material and insuring that all pieces are machined
the same and that all ends and edges are cut square.
Follow all recommended safety procedures and
always test your setup using sample pieces.

If this is your first time performing panel door con-
struction, start simple by making a square door.
Doors having more intricate designs, such as arched,
tombstone or curved panels, should only be done
when you are confident of your ability. If your proj-
ect requires curved pieces then freehand shaping
will be necessary. Remove the fence(s) and always
incorporate the use of a starting pin or block to sup-
port the workpiece as it is initially fed into the cutter.
Always use some type of jig or hold-down device to
make the operation safer and to avoid having your
hand in close proximity to the spinning cutter.

Figure F is a sample of how all the stile and rail
pieces should fit together.

Figure D. Improperly fitting stile and rail.

Figure E. Adjustment to fit panel.
