Easy Frame and Panel Doors on the Table Saw Making a frame and panel door on the table saw
takes just a few steps using the stub tenon and
groove technique (see photo below).
After you have the stiles and rails cut to
length, cut a groove on the inside edge of the pieces to match the thickness
of the plywood panel. An easy way to do this is to make two passes, flipping
the workpiece between passes (drawing above and
detail ‘a’) to keep the groove centered. Make the groove a little narrower
than the panel at first and sneak up on the final width.
To cut the tenons on
the ends of the rails, use a dado blade buried in an auxiliary fence (drawing
above). Start with the blade set low and once again sneak up on the fit
(detail ‘b’).
