Warning: Make sure the router bit is properly fastened and tightened in the router’s collet and the bit can rotate freely without any obstructions.
Instructions: Slowly dial up the RPMs on your router to the recommended maximum. Then, dial back if needed to find the “sweet spot”. The sweet spot is the speed at which the least resonant vibration is present. If the sweet spot cannot be achieved within 5,000 RPMs of the max, check the collet for residue or other debris and start over.

Build thick doors for entries and interior openings with entry door rail-and-stile router bits. They work just like cabinet door rail-and-stile bits, but are capable of machining the thicker stock used in large doors. A complete set of rail-and-stile bits includes a coping bit for the ends of the rails and mullions, a profile bit for the inside edges and groove, plus a panel raising bit.
