Plywood Panel Stile & Rail
This set-up is for cabinet door construction with undersized 1/4" plywood panels. (Actual panel thickness of 7/32" or 5.5 mm). Whiteside's conversion kit #6000X converts the regular full size Stile and Rail Bits to the narrower groove required for these plywood panels. This kit gives you the flexibility to do either plywood panels or raised panels. Plus, it can be used on any Whiteside full size Stile and Rail bits that you may already own.
Our two most popular Stile and Rail sets are also available ready to use just for plywood panel construction. Order Part Number 6001X for round pattern or Part Number 6002X for ogee pattern. 1/2" Shank only.

 

Stile & Rail Glass Doors

Make the Stile & Rail cuts for glass doors using Whiteside's full size Stile & Rail Sets. No extra components are required. All that's needed is to stagger the cutting edges and "stack" both groovers on the Stile bit. Use both bearings (no groover) on the Rail bit. See Drawing. Now make your cuts just like in normal door construction - Cut the inside edges of all four pieces with the Stile Bit. Trim the ends of the Rails with the Rail bit. Assemble door and insert glass pane. Use clips or corner trim mold on the back side to hold the pane in place.
