- Learn how to build cabinet door frames using a rail and stile router bit set. Most cabinet doors - especially if they are made in a factory - have frames that are assembled with rail and stile joints, also commonly called cope and stick joints. These joints feature a decorative profile, such as a flat shaker edge, a rounder, or an ogee, that frames the panel, and a groove that contains the panel. Building cabinet doors is easy when you have a rail and stile router bit set to cut these joints.

I love the clanking sound of hardwood. Nicely done sir.
Chris, what can I say??? This is my favorite class to watch. Thank you for creating such a clear and easy to digest class.
Best cope-and-stick video out there. And yes, a lift is really helpful.
Thank you very much for sharing this. Really helpful and well explained.
glad you commented on how to mortise the rails. was not sure of that from other videos.
Thanks for giving me a refresher course.
Thanks for the video, I will be retired soon and I have all the tools to really get started in wood working
Good luck and have fun with your woodworking journey. Embrace your mistakes and learn from them as well as how to fix them. We all make many.
Great video Chris. You covered the topic well. This is something I hope to do sometime in the next few months.
Excellent video, very well explained and demonstrated using both router bits.
May god bless you sir! Thank you so much for sharing this with us..
I've had a nice shaker door bit set for 2 years but now I finally have the confidence to try them out! This was so helpful.
Very nice work, Thanks for share, best regards from Tijuana, Mx
Beautiful work,Thanks Good Explanation,Exelent.
Very clear, thank you!
Thanks for the excellent video and congrats on the nice equipment set up.
Great video! Clear and well instructed. I bought the Freud Premier adjustable Rail & Stile Set (Shaker Profile) and then when I got it, it’s like now what 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was looking at the Freud set as well with an ogee profile. I wanted to make a storm window with extended tenons. Any ideas on instructional videos provided by Freud?
Clear and nice explanation!
Exactly what I was looking for , Extremely well explained, 💯💯💯

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you.
great video
Good n very tidy job.
muy interesante me gusta
Very nice and superclean..
Nice job on video
Appreciate...

Super nice
So sweeeet!
You can keep scraps of pieces that fit well for ease of setup.
Been using these for years. Any advice on preventing tear out on style bit? Often the decorative profile gets a chewed up look near the groove. White oak and cherry seem to be the worst. I use a slow bit speed and feed slowly.
great video, could you tell what type of wood you use for it, thanks
very good
très beau
Will there be a video on the insert panel?
Good
Thank you for sharing! What kind of router table is that you're using on the video. I like how you can raise or lower the blade height using a screw driver, Im not sure if all router table are like that, but i like the one you're using. Please let me know the model number, thanks!
It’s Rockler’s own brand of table and lift.
I like u router table sir
Salaam
Nice work so beautiful I love your work can I learn ? And you can
Your teaching method is so nice and very easy plz reply or
Wow
So that’s what those bits do. I have them sitting in my living room given to me by someone that couldn’t remember what it was, just that it’s very useful. Kind of an idiot if idk what it is and I was gonna sell it online so someone could use them but I didn’t know what it was either and didn’t know how to research two blue and metal heavy things. I just so happened to see it as I’m looking up bevels. Finally 4 years later
I just think tongue and groove
I bought these Rockler bits. They are very nice but trying to get the depth to match between the two bits so that the rails and stiles are flush and smooth is very challenging.
If you go back and re-watch the video, pay close attention to the content around the 7:14 time stamp. Here you’ll see the stile/sticking cutter being height adjusted so it’s slot cutter matches the tongue height on a coped piece of the joint. This is the best method to set the second router bit accurately: use a sample coped end to fine-tune the stile cutter’s height. If you do that, the resulting cuts will enable the door frame’s corner joints to fit together accurately and the faces of the rails and stiles will be flush. Of course, make sure the thickness of your rails and stiles matches before you begin the routing process, too.
@@rockler Thanks for the reply but I’ve watched it several times and I either get a 1/32 layer of wood remaining when I do a test pass or the rails and stiles are not flush by 1/32 to 1/16. I’m tempted to cheat and run the cabinet door thru a planer.
@@mwinner101 a router lift helps. The Mast-R-Lift II is height-adjustable to 0.001”.
what type of router do you use? I loved it
I use a 3.25 HP Porter-Cable 7518 router motor in a Rockler ProLift. But routers in the 2HP and larger range are powerful enough to use cope-and-stick router bits. I wouldn’t use anything smaller than a 2HP router with these bits.
Now I have a reason to buy a router table.
How can I order this bit with router table
What bits did you use and what bit will you use for the panel?
OK, good video. One question: How do you know how long to cut the rails so the doors end-up being the correct width?
Would you need to measure the depth of the tongue and add that measurement to each end of the rail since they go into the styles?
Hi Eric, the easiest way to calculate part dimensions for frame and panel doors is to use our Woodshop Calculator - www.rockler.com/woodshop-calc-key
The simplified answer is the width of the rail equals the width of the door, minus the width of two stiles, plus the depth of the two panel grooves.

5:05 - How does this step set the fence parallel to the coping sled travel? I'm building a fence for myself and need to understand how that setup works to ensure my fence can support the same functionality.
My bad: I thought the coping sled was riding in the miter slot. Now I see it rides along the fence.
Will these bits work on 1/2 thick wood or does it need to be 3/4". Not doing an inset panel but a piece of 1/8" glass set in from the back(like a picture frame.)
This bit set is designed specifically for ¾” rails and stiles. Using ½” material for the frame provides a very limited surface area for the joints, reducing their strength and rigidity.
Hi, I bought this bit set and it works great. The package came with two thin washers in a separate little bag. What are they provided for? Are they shims?
Hi Jerry, They are intended to help adjust the width of the tongue, if necessary. Our product support team can explain the uses and how to in depth for you. You can reach them at 1-800-260-9663 or support@rockler.com. Thanks!
kemaih !
Can someone explain to me that why my shaker bits dont fit properly after i had them sharpened?
Great video. Why do we need to use the fence if both bits have bearings?
Hi Mark Chadwick, Please reach out to our product support team at 1-800-260-9663 or support@rockler.com. They'll be able to assist you. Thank you
How can you make such joints manually?
That looks more like a shaper that a router due the shank size on the bits????
So do these work on different thickness boards or certain thicknesses. Are doors and windows basically code or can you make them however thick you want?
Hi Jody, rail and stile router bit sets have a limited range of workpiece thicknesses they'll accommodate. This mainly has to do with how thick the rear wall that supports the panel or glass will end up being -- the thinner the initial stock thickness is, the thinner this supportive wall becomes in the final assembly. There is no "code" that regulates interior cabinet door thickness. Conventionally, they're 3/4" thick.
Stick and cope frames
Nice super
👍
Can I glue up the panel to the stiles? Thank you much
Hi Luis, as long as the panel for your cabinet door is made of plywood, you could glue it to the stiles. A solid-wood panel, on the other hand, could crack if it's glued into place (it can't expand and contract properly with seasonal wood movement). There's no reason any panel need be glued into a cabinet door, however. If the rail and stile joints are made well, glue alone in the frame joints will offer enough strength for the door.
Once it is glued up, how to you replace the glass?
You can cut out the back grove and then use clips instead to hold the glass in.
Do the rails have the beveled edge like the stiles do?
Yes. Watch from 2:18 to 3:02 to see this explained. Thanks
Are the bits in the market?
Can I use these to make frames for the closets ?
Probably not as usually closet doors are made with 1-1/4" - 1-1/2" thick material and these are only designed for 3/4" material.
Yes but how do you figure out the cope measurement?
If you mean how do you estimate the length of the rails, which have coped ends, here's a formula:
Width of the door opening minus twice the width of the stiles plus twice the depth of the sticking cuts equals the overall rail length including the coped profiles. This does not take into account the swing clearance needed around the door and will build a door that fits tightly in its opening.
Do they Rockler Rail Coping Sled fits on any router table?
The clear guide registers off of the routers fence and runs 2'' above the table, so it works with most router table fences on the market.
