Video Vault: Double-Duty Router Bits
Cope-and-stick router sets can do more than just cabinet doors.
In this gem from the Fine Homebuilding Video Vault, author T.H. Richards demonstrates how he uses the same cope-and-stick router bit set to not only make raised-panel doors, but window sashes too. Normally, when one makes sash frames, a dado for the glass is routed freehand once the frame is assembled. This somewhat unconventional process, however, removes a slot cutter from the cope bit and adds it to the stick bit to cut the dado before assembly.
