Use a cutter that matches your panel thickness.
Panel doors construction.
6 panel doors consist of six wooden panels including three middle stiles and four middle rails dividing the frame into six parts of same thickness.
The perpendicular junctions of the stiles and rails are where the panels of the doors come to exist and the number of stiles and rails within the construction of the door will determine how many panels there can be.
Frame and panel doors use a form of construction in which large floating panels are held within a framework of horizontal rails and vertical stiles.
Frame and panel doors add class to any project but they don t have to add a lot of assembly time.
We have put this knowledge into our methods of door construction to ensure quality manufacturing that combines old world wood craftsmanship with current technology.
Now cut all four rails to finished length keeping in mind that their length will determine the width of finished door.
While our doors are truly solid wood no thin veneer.
The panels are made from timber plywood block board medium density fiberboard mdf veneer asbestos cement sheets pre laminated particle board glass wire mesh etc.
Center the cut or cut from same side of each piece so the dado will be same measurement from face of board.
Make sure they are all exactly same length.
