Rail & Stile router bit set
I just bought a rail and style router bit set and have a question.
After completing the cuts with the grain using one of the bits and then completing the cross-grain cuts with the other bit everything went well. I got everything assembled and that phase went well too. I want to add a profile to the outside of the rail and style that matches the profile I already cut on the inside. To do this I could disassemble the router bit used for cutting with the grain. Is that acceptable? Will I have any alignment problems when I reassemble the bit for use on a future project? Any advise is appreciated. R.C. |

Many of the rails and stile bits are shimmed from the factory. You would need to keep them in the correct order and placement. Typically a separate bit is used for this purpose. |
