I am building an armoire, I want it to have heavy doors just because
the one that Im trying to pretty much duplicate does. I have made a
couple armoires but have have only used solid wood for the doors. These
doors are not raised panel, its just a flat panel such as the Shaker
style has.
I have a simple panel raiser bit that only makes the slot to fit into
the rails and stiles. I was wondering if it might be possible to use
plywood for the panel- might be a dumb idea but thought Id ask? since
the plywoods edges wont be exposed


Ok umm. I have not seen a panel raiser bit that makes a slot. Soooo, since
panel raising bits cut away at the surface of a slab, if you use it on a
piece of plywood you are going to expose the lower ply layers of wood when
using that particular bit.

If however you only have a rail and stile bit then those do cut slots and
yes you can use plywood for the panels to fit in to the slots.
