Frame & Panel Master: Router Jigs & Templates for Cabinet Door Making

The Frame and Panel Master system gives woodworkers and cabinet shops a repeatable, accurate method for routing cope-and-stick cabinet doors without elaborate setup or dedicated door machines. By pairing a precision jig with your existing rail-and-stile router bit set, you can produce consistent door frames with matched arched, cathedral, or straight profiles — right at the router table.

The Frame Panel Master Door Making Jig is the core of the system, providing a guided sled that holds stiles and rails at the correct angle for curved profiles while keeping the workpiece stable against the bit. This eliminates the guesswork that makes freehand arched doors frustrating and inconsistent.

Door Making Templates for Arched & Decorative Profiles

For shops that want to offer clients a variety of door styles, the Frame Panel Master Door Making Templates expand the system with multiple profile options. Each template is precisely machined to guide the router through a smooth, consistent arc. The Infinity Tools Door Making Templates round out the selection for shops requiring additional style options compatible with standard router bits.

All Frame and Panel Master products are designed for router-table use and work with a wide range of cope-and-stick and rail-and-stile bit sets. If you have questions about compatibility with your current setup, the Infinity Tools Learning Center has technique guides to help you get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Frame and Panel Master system?

The Frame and Panel Master is a router jig-and-template system designed to help woodworkers and cabinet shops produce accurate arched and straight frame-and-panel cabinet doors at the router table using standard rail-and-stile router bits.

Do I need special router bits to use the Frame Panel Master jig?

The Frame Panel Master jig is designed to work with standard cope-and-stick and rail-and-stile router bit sets. No proprietary bits are required, though the jig must be compatible with the specific profile geometry of your bits.

Can the Frame Panel Master make arched cabinet doors?

Yes. The system includes templates for arched, cathedral, and other decorative top rail profiles. The Frame Panel Master Door Making Templates provide the guide paths for each curve style.

Is a router table required to use this system?

Yes. All Frame and Panel Master products, including the Door Making Jig and templates, are designed for router-table use. A hand-held router is not suitable for this system.

What door styles can I make with the Frame Panel Master templates?

Depending on which templates you select, the system supports straight-top, arched, cathedral, and other decorative profiles. The Infinity Tools Door Making Templates provide additional style options beyond those in the core kit.

What wood species work best for cope-and-stick cabinet doors?

Cabinet doors are commonly made from maple, cherry, oak, alder, and poplar. All of these work well with router-based cope-and-stick joinery. Avoid wood with excessive grain irregularities or large knots, as they can cause bit deflection or tear-out at the cope joint.

How thick should the stock be for frame-and-panel doors?

Standard rail and stile stock for cabinet doors is typically 3/4 inch thick. The panel is usually 1/4 inch plywood or solid wood raised to fit the groove. Always verify that your router bit set is sized for 3/4 inch stock before beginning.

Where can I learn more about router table door making techniques?
