With the stops set, loosen the router plate locking
knob and slide the router to the “outer” (front) stop, then
retighten the router plate locking knob. It’s advisable
to make the cheek cut in two passes. Move the stock to
the left of the bit, plunge the router about halfway to
the depth stop, turn it on and use the hand feed crank to
feed the stock past the bit. Raise the router, move the
stock back, then plunge the bit to the stop and cut the
rest of the tenon.

Raise the router, loosen the router plate locking
knob and move the router to the “inner” (rear) stop.
This time, start with the stock to the right of the bit,
then plunge the bit and repeat the two-pass cutting pro-
cess, using the hand feed crank to move the stock past
the bit.

Finally, loosen the router plate locking knob and
use the bit to trim away 1/4” (or the proper tenon offset)
from the outer edge of the tenon (opposite the groove).
Check the fit of the test tenon in the groove of the stile
and adjust the stops if necessary. Then cut the tenons in
both ends of both the rails.
