Cutting stepped tenons - short side

To cut the short side of the tenons

Note 1: The tops of the Bottom Sash Stiles (verticals) need a different setting as this is for the dovetail male to mate with the thinner meeting rail.
Ops...I went wrong here. So cut a new template off the meeting rail to do this to get the setting.

Note 2: The top rail of the top sash uses the first template BUT is an angled to creates the required dovetail (see later post). Ops... I made an added cut processI didn't need.



Step 1. Setting up the back stop as before but using the rebate on the template.



Step 2. Set the height of the cutter using the mortice chisel as the guide (5/8 inch)



Step 3. Refit the Width guide to rail using the same screw holes and cut upto the MDF/fence stop.
