I bought some cheap router bits to make wooden door joints. Those wooden joints between the stiles and the rails of the doors, where the mouldings on the rails fit perfectly with the mouldings on the vertical stiles. In this video I route the moulding and the wooden tenon on the ends of the rails. I do two cases, short tenon and long tenon. And I have to say I was surprised at how well this cheap router bit cut the wood. In the video I made some mistakes that I was able to fix. The main mistake was thinking I could do the initial routing for the long tenon with the actual router bit for doors. When I realized the mistake I put a straight router bit in my homemade router table and did the initial routing to remove wood before finishing the final routing. By using a pivoting side fence it's very easy to adjust its position in each case, but it doesn't let me use a sled that slides parallel in a slot. That's why I made a very simple sled that doesn't need a runner to easily and comfortably route the end grain of the wooden rails.
