Why use Vertical Panel Mould Cutters ?
�� If there is no variable speed facility on router .
�� Cost of cutter is important .
�� Shaped work is not required .
When used in a portable machine the panel will need to be clamped vertically with an extra support base for the router . The router will require a side-fence fitted .

ROUTING TIPS & ADVICE
FRAME & PANEL DOOR CONSTRUCTION
Panelled door frames are made up of two vertical stiles and two horizontal rails . The inside edge of the stiles and rails are grooved to take the panel edge and the rail end tenon .
Moulded Edges
The inside edges of the stiles and rails are grooved and moulded , the groove being both deep enough to accept the edge of an infill panel and the stub tenon to form the frame joints .
Profile Scribed Joint
The end of the rails are cut to form the joint tenon and scribed to match the decorative rail / stile edge moulding .
When joining sections to produce solid wood panels , alternate the growth ring direction of adjacent boards to prevent cupping .
Infill Panels
The panels can be made from solid timber , veneered plywood or composite board . They can be cut as flat panels or with a traditional raised central area ( raised and fielded panels ). The mould on the panel can vary from a plain bevel to a more elaborate decorative profile .
Top & Bottom Rails
Simple doors have frame rails and stiles the same width , but a more balanced appearance is achieved with a wider bottom rail . The inside edge of the top and / or bottom rail can also be shaped .
Stiles
These must be strong enough to take the hinges , catch and handle .
Muntin
Additional strength is achieved with the sub-division of horizontal and vertical rails . Wide doors normally have at least one central vertical member ( muntin ).
Glued panel finished to consistent thickness .
Assembly Combination sets consist of an arbor , cutter block , groover and bearing , supplied assembled in the scribing mode . The order of these parts will need to be rearranged to convert the tool into the profiling mode . The cutter block and groover should always be assembled at 90 ° to each other to reduce the cutting impact of the tool . Full assembly instructions are provided with each set .
Cutting the Scribe The timber of the rails or muntin should be cut square to length and mounted face up in a work-holder or mitre fence to ensure a safe and accurate cut . The back fence should be set level with the bearing guide to automatically give the correct depth of cut . A spelch block , fitted to the work-holder of the mitre fence will prevent break-out of the timber . Adjust the height of the set according to the thickness of the timber .

Cutting the Profile
Switch off the power to the router at the source . Leaving the tool set in the machine , re-assemble the components of the set into the profiling mode . With the sections to be machined face down , machine all profile edges .
