Hi Imran,?
?
My method is to perform all of the cross-grain work prior to performing the linear work. So, when I'm producing stiles and rails for a window (for instance), my sequence is the following:
-- Perform counter-profile milling operation on rails
-- Perform slotting operation on stiles
-- Perform linear profiling work
-- I over-size my sashes so that I can take 1mm off each side after assembly?
?
The above operation ensures that any tear-out produced during the cross-grain operations will be removed by the linear operations. When I'm running the assembled sash through the shaper to remove the extra 1mm I'll feed a "chaser" board after the sash to prevent tear-out.?
?
For short parts it's optimal to use an outboard- or back- fence, rather than the hood fence plates.?
?
I hope this helps,?
