I’m making them with miter corners. The thickness is ¾” for the frame and panel. I’m using a Rockler Ogee router bit with a back cutter. With rails and stiles you set the height of the panel cutter based on the rail or stile but with the miter frame you have to cut your own slot. I though I had to center the slot in the frame but doing this causes the panel not to be flush. Do you have any tips on where I set the slot cutter so the panel will be flush?

The whole process certainly looks less intimidating now. I do have a question as to router speed and horsepower. My current set up is a PC690LR 1-3/4hp 11-amp without the softstart circutry. So I in theory I could add a speed control to my current set up. Would this be powerful enough to do a cope and stick set-up? Any advice? Thank you and keep the video segments coming. Alex Hi Marc,

Gluing in a plywood panel would certainly increase the strength of a door made with cope and stick joints. But I think its a significant stretch (and inaccurate) to make the blanket statement that cope and stick is insufficient for a raised panel door. I can’t disagree with that.

I have built many cope and stick doors with raised panels and have never had a failure. Of course a full tenon makes for a stronger door and might be a necessity with really large panels. But to make a blanket statement that cope and stick is inadequate for the average raised panel door is just inaccurate.
