   David,

   We offer a router bit set (item 99-270) to make divided lite doors as you describe and one of the woodworking mags recently did an article on how to use them. Let me know if you need help to find the article.

   I'm confused by the term " 10 sash frame doors ", I dont know what that is, or I never heard it called that and it is something that I know of!

   Also what Charles said about divided light doors.

   I took it as doors with lites, either cabinet doors or regular swinging doors.

    I thought maybe a door with lites but thought maybe something new that I'd never heard of.

   Doug, and bedrock,

   My dictionary says the term sash is from the french, chassis, meaning frame.  "The framing in which panes of glass are set in a glazed window or door..."  While the term may be archaic, it is not one that was made up by the poster.

   FWW#64 has a series of articles on making sash doors, one of which I wrote, "Coping With Sash".

   If you haven't done any sash work, it will pay you to do some reading first, especially if you aren't satisfied with the little stub tenons made by most of the matched cutter sets.  There are several ways that a sash door may be cut out and assembled, not all of which require machine work.

   Regards,

   I've built somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 sashes, so I do know what they are and I do know how they are built. Although I may not have done as many as some I'm pretty familiar with my way around the damn things.

   Your right, I don't have the terminology down but my windows came out just fine in spite of my limitations.

    I had never heard the term that the OP used in reference to a door so I was asking, what's with you guys that know it all! Cant some one ask a simple question without your BS

   Gosh Doug,

   I didn't mean to get your knickers in a twist.  Thought you were asking a question about terminology, so I did my best to answer.  If that came across as BS, then I'm sorry that I offended you.

   Regards,

   Ray Pine

   I prefer to use a shaper because the cutting circle is bigger and there is less chance of getting injured. Usually shaper cutters are easier to use because of the cutting circle diameter. The pieces of wood will not tend to dive into the cutter as compared to a router bit.
