In that case do a first very shallow pass (if you can manage do a climb cut there) and then a full depth pass (not climb cut). The first pass will create a clean groove edge and the subsequent pass will take care of the rest....
Mreza, yes precisely....rail/stile groove edges are tearing out. My test cuts will include a very shallow climb cut first pass followed by a full depth second pass in the correct direction.
One disadvantage of the router table & no power feeder is the ability to hold the stock perfectly flat to the table and fence. My upcoming project includes 2 doors with 73" long stiles across my 32" wide table. I don't do enough volume to justify upgrading to a shaper/power feed....but I'm working on talking myself into it anyway .

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
