Dusty is talking about where the bevel meets the raised panel. Because of the angle of the blade, the shoulder (edge) of the raised panel has a slight angle to it. Not very noticable really, there just the same. Alec

I'm with bhurley Alec. I'v made lots of raised panel doors on the table saw and you have done very well indeed. It's a fir bit trickier than it looks. One concern I've always had is that a panel that is tapered all the way to the edge can't truly "float" in the frame channel. It is also quite tricky to get the thickness of the taper to be exactly the width of the channel at exactly the point where it enters the channel. Don't sell yourself short. Your jig and your work are first class.

Thanks Shipwright!
Now in order to show how really multi-purpose the Shopsmith is I intend to paint the doors with my SS compressor and spray gun - I will post photos when I get 'em set up and sprayed! Alec

Sorry I couldn't resist.
