Any hints or tips ??

ISTR that the one our builder chappie had was simply set up with a
'depth' dial at the front, also some kind of a fence for rebating.

What other subtleties do I need to be aware of ?

This will keep you going for a bit:

I know it sounds kind of 'Irish' - but I was considering planing off
the material at the hinge side of the door - on the grounds that the
new parliament hinges require a different 'rebate' to the originals,
and that any slight innacuracies in the planing will be less
noticeable if they're on the hinge-side of the door. Also saves
messing with the lock mechanism.

Nope that is a fine and sensible way to do it - usualy simper to recut
hinge rebates than having to remount the latch assembly (especially if
it has a keyhole!)
