What happens here
Using the router table with appropriate router bits, create tongue and groove profiles on the edges of the oak wood pieces for the cabinet doors. This ensures a strong and precise fit between the rails and stiles. Then, use a rail and stile router bit set to create the frame of the door, and a raised panel bit to create the decorative recessed panel. Assemble the door frame with wood glue and clamps, ensuring the central panel is 'floating' to allow for wood expansion and contraction due to humidity changes. Sand the assembled doors smooth.
