:confused: Hi

Does anyone know where I can buy and what this Router Bit/Cutter called in the UK.

Think internal French Doors,

i.e. the Divided Lights
(the grill that holds the glass which are known as the: mullion & muntin)

I need the correct term for the router bit that joins the mullions & muntins
into the stile & rails.

In the States, they are called Window Sash sets - which are really expensive.

I have been searching on Google/YouTube for nearly a week, and cannot find anything that comes close.

You can buy sets that do glass panels, but that is only for stock designed
for kitchen cabinets and furniture.

My internal door width will be 35mm.

I've got to make these doors myself, as I can't find shop brought internal
French Doors to fit our dividing space (either to wide or short).

I've had quotes back from carpenters, this has turned out to be prohibitive.

If you don't know of the correct term, are there 'individual bits' that you know that will do the job?

As this is to be a French door, it would be nice to have a similar profile
on both side of the horizontal & vertical bars (mullions & muntins).

What I do need is a "Recoverable Bead" in case the safety glass needs replacing.

I've looked at MATCHED RAIL & STILE CUTTERS . . . . . to get the profile such as OGEE - do you then router the profile AFTER routing the rail & stiles?

As you can see, I'm a tad confused.

My Makita Router and table have been ordered - all I need to start this one off job is the router bits (1/2").

Any help, tips or guidance would really be appreciated on any part of this project.

Thanks in advance.

Thank Big-All

Problem is they are all for;

The classic method of producing cabinet panelled door and drawer fronts is made easy with the Profile Scriber set.

Not for 35mm stock.

Or am I missing something.

Also they the profiles didn't look like they would do the Mullion profiles.

Thanks anyway.
