I asked the question in another thread which way you all do your door edge treatment.
Whether you routed the outer edge of the stiles and rails then did the glue up
or
glued up the door and then did the outer edge.
Everyone said they did the glue up and then routed the edge treatment.
I agree that seemed to the give me the best results however any errors such as tear out, burning that can't be sanded or who knows always ruins the whole door rather than just a rail or stile.
When your routing the out edge of the assembled door what do you do to help prevent tearout? or other possible damage to the door?
For example let us say your applying a normal roman ogee to the outer edge of the door. Do you cut it making multible passes? Is the cut made on a router table using the fence or a starting pin? In cutting maple prone to chip out what speed do you use? On cherry prone to burning what speed do you use?
I don't do doors enough to be proficient so I'm very thankful for any help and advice.
