I just finished cutting rails and stiles for four 36"x12" cabinet doors. I had setup the router table over the holidays to do this and just yesterday bought the rail and stile bits for the router.
Set up didn't take me as long as I thought it would and the results weren't the disaster I thought they might be. ON the web page below I have the first two test doors I made up.
One thing that I had trouble with was the last inch of the cuts....when the wood passes the end of the first fence on the table, it dips in to the bit a tiny bit (no pun!). This is evident in the first door on the page below. I think I will probably make up a hardwood fence for both bits and make them zero clearance to help avoid this, but if anyone knows a shortcut to avoiding this, let me know!
