What happens here

Switch the router bit to a mortise router bit. Feed the stiles through the router table to create the mortises. It's crucial to maintain consistent orientation for all pieces (e.g., always feed with the back of the door facing the fence) to ensure all joints align perfectly. This creates a tight, puzzle-like fit.

Goal: Change the router bit to a mortise router bit and use the router table to cut corresponding mortises into the stiles, ensuring consistent orientation for all pieces.
