   Are you looking for a plain T&G set or cope & stick?

   Thanks for the quick response.

   I believe T & G.  I'm not sure what Cope and Stick is.... please educate me.  I will use a router/shaper table with the bits to create joints between the door pieces.  All the joints will be hidden.

    These are all the panel rail and stile bits they have or just try their home page at leevalley.com and surf around.

   unless you set up your table saw and router and make passes, youll have to look to a shaper.  Pretty much with a 3/4 to 1inch spindle for the size you want. 

   There is a product that turns your table saw into a moulder head. Its purple and has lots of attachments/cutters  Dont know the name offhand but google.com would help

   Didn't get a chance to check my catalogs last night.  I did get one a while back though that had what you're looking for & made a mental note I'd never seen that bit before.  I'll try again tonight.  BTW, my earlier reference to "cope & stick" is another term used to describe rail & stile cutters.  More accurately, it describes how rail & stile cutters shape the material.  Generally, plain T&G cutters are formed with right angles.  This would be the type usually seen on T&G flooring.  T&G is often combined with a v-groove for ceilings, walls, and some flooring.  Cope & stick is mirror image decorative profiling that lets the end of the rail meet and interlock with the edge of the corresponding stile.

   I was just looking at Tools of the Trade mag and saw an ad for Frued that said they have a set with adjustment washers for all sizes.

   BTW, Some flooring t&g bits have a relief on the bottm side of the groove about 1 or 2 dergees so that the top side ccan fit tighter.Excellence is its own reward!

   Yeah, I saw those on the Freud web site also.  I'm still scratching my folicly challenged upper deck though because I can't find the place that had the matched pairs that were for specific thicknesses.  So many tool catalogs & so little time but I'm in it for the principle now!

   routerbits.com has a router bit to bulid window sashes and mullions.  It is made by Whiteside and costs around $80.  I have several Whiteside bits and they are fine tools.
