Overview
This rail-and-stile set includes everything you need to create raised-panel doors of nearly any size. The stile and rail cutters are full-height cutters. This means that if you jog your router table fence, they can be used to joint off saw marks — no need to sand or joint before routing. In addition, they feature guide bearings for template work such as arch-top doors. The panel raiser features a 5/8" radius ogee profile that goes well with the beaded profile on the stick work. All bits have sturdy 1/2" shanks for minimal chatter.

I wasted alot of wood and time before figured out the set-up. Needed more info(didn`t have any) on the set up. It works very good, after I mastered the set-up. First time I ever used a set-up like this.
Sorry Jed...It's user error,nothing else.

Normally, I find Rockler to be among the best quality around. I'm not an expert woodsmith, but I've got a fair amount of experience. For 2 years, I've had this bit-set, and always figured that the problems I had with the joint were "operator error", not the fault of the bit-set.... Until I used a set of my father's.On the Rail and Stile bits, the bearing is placed in the wrong spot.. by having it on the end of the bit, it's not in a useful spot for normal wood thicknesses. You need to be using wood greater than 1" thick for the bearing guides to help you, otherwise, they miss the workpeice entirely, requiring you to rely on your fence. Even with the best alignment of the fence, I get sniping.In contrast, my father's bit set has the bearing in the middle of the cutter, which is much more effective.Editor's note:For 3/4" stock the bearing on the stile/rail cutters is only used when following a template, such as when doing an arched top. The fence of the router table is used for straight cuts on 3/4" stock. Our Rail Coping Jig 28595 can be used to eliminate tearout.
