Sounds like you are doing it a different way. Is there a certain technique or a special tool that could make my life easier?Ĭan you tell us how you are doing it now? What machines and techniques? Normally you use a shaper/router and cutters and there is no problem. In the end I have to re-cut the whole lot because the wood splinters out or the spindle grabs a chunk out of the wood or it just does not fit nice and flush. When I cut the groove where the stile and rail meet, I make a hash of the job.
