I'm using a one piece rail/stile bit in a router table altho I think I'd
have the same problem with a two bit set.
I can cut the stiles fine. I can cut either the end grain or the length cut
on the rail with no problem. My problem seems to be with the *second* cut on
the rail. For example - I cut the profile on the end grain of the rail - on
my bit this is good side down. Next I want to cut the profile along the
length of the rail - adjust the bit as required - this cut is good side
face up. Make the cut -
When the bit meets the end cut profile I get a slightly deeper cut - it
looks like the bearing surface loses contact. FWIW. I've used a fence in
line with the bearing and no fence at all - same issue. I'm guessing it's a
matter of technique but I'm puzzled.
Any thoughts?
Thanx,
Vic Baron

Make sure you use good downward pressure when running stock through the
router table. A flat table is a must for repeatable cuts and setups.

Made me think a bit Dave and you hit the nail on the head. I'm pushing too
hard *against* the bit as opposed to downward on the table. If I use a sled
with a clamp, I think I can solve the problem.
Thanx!
