I need to cut away the inside of the rails and stiles so that I can put in a glass panel for a cabinet door. The rails are easy since the ends are not exposed but the rails need to be stopped rabbets.
I can think of two ways
1) slowly lower the stile on a table saw blade — sitting up about 1/4” — and move forward and back to cut most of it and then clean up with chisels
2) router table with a rabbet bit or just a straight bit and maybe cut it in 2-3 passes.
option 2 seems safer but maybe there are other ways or feedback on these two approaches.
hopefully it’s clear what I’m asking
