Why use Vertical Panel Mould Cutters?
l If there is no variable speed facility on router.
l Cost of cutter is important.
l 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...

KNOWLEDGE

FRAME & PANEL DOOR CONSTRUCTION

Top and 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.

Infill Panels
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.

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.

When joining sections to produce
solid wood panels, alternate the
growth ring direction of adjacent
boards to prevent cupping.

Muntin

Additional strength is
achieved with the subdivision of horizontal and
vertical rails. Wide doors
normally have at least one
central vertical member
(muntin).

Glued panel finished to consistent thickness.

Cutting the Scribe

www.trend-uk.com

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.

Router Table use only at max. recommended speeds as indicated.

The inside edges of the stiles and rails are grooved and

the edge of an infill panel and the stub tenon to form
the frame joints.

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.

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.
