I dunno of any videos, but i can offer some pointers.
If you have set up and used a router table, you should have little problems
setting up a shaper. Very similiar concept. Although, you may be a little
intimidated with it at first, (mine sounds like a b-29 taking off with the
raised panel cutter running in it! WAY different than my little router
table! )

First, you should really consider a shaper jig, (i use the delta 43-186) for
doing the endgrains of your stiles and rails. It eleminates much causes
for error. And, as a bonus, helps keep your fingers away from the cutter.
If you have problems with snipe on your panels, you can screw a longer 1x3
or something to the back of it and use it to ride against the fence to help
keep things true to the cutter while you are feeding it through.
Always cut your endgrain first, as it will almost always chip out at the
end. (the cut with the grain will take care of this)

If you get hooked on making raised panels and decide to make kitchen
cabintes for everyone you know, invest in a feeder, they are wonderful time
savers. -Dave

Does anyone know of any instructional websites to walk throught the
steps to make raised panel cabinet doors? I recently got a shaper
with stile, rail and panel cutters and would like to make a cabinet
door.
