What do I not understand about using these bits?
There are 2 available depths to the bit below...1/2" and 5/8"

If I have a 3/4" panel and use the 1/2" depth one the "raised" part of the panel doesn't get completely cut. This is due to giving myself approx. 3/16" for the panel edge to fit in the frame groove + the 1/2" bit height = 11/16". Hence giving me the incomplete raised panel.
I think I used a 5/8" bit previously and didn't get the raised step correctly either.
Thoughts?
