The door project
 |
Our project entails the assembling of a 2100x900x44 mm door in Douglas wood. In order to do so you must prepare a number of perfectly finished wood panels with the following dimensions:
- A for the TOP INNER RAISED PANEL:
no. 10, 72x1193x37 mm pieces;
- B for the BOTTOM INNER RAISED PANEL:
no. 10, 72x608x37 mm pieces;
- C for the TOP AND BOTTOM TRANSOMS:
no. 2, 115x900x44 mm pieces;
- D for the INTERMEDIATE TRANSOM:
no. 1, 115x830x44 mm piece;
- E for the JAMBS:
no. 2, 115x2100x44 mm pieces;
For wood machining use a mortising bit, a tenonig brazed cutter and the following tools: cod. TW23M BF3; cod. TP42M AB3 + CP42M CA3; cod. TD52M HB3 + CT52M TB3.

|
 |
First of all prepare the top (A) and bottom (B) inner raised door panels. Mount the finger joint cutterhead item code TW23M BF3 on the spindle moulder.
- A. TOP INNER RAISED PANEL Work 9 of the 10, 72x1193x37 mm pieces on one side only.
- B. BOTTOM INNER RAISED PANEL Work 9 of the 10, 72x608x37 mm pieces on one side only.
|
 |
Position the 2,5 mm spacer, supplied with cutterhead item code TW23M BF3.
- A. TOP INNER RAISED PANEL Take 8 of the 9 previously
machined 72x1193x37 mm pieces, plus the only non worked one and carry out the second moulding on the opposite side.
- B. BOTTOM INNER RAISED PANEL Take 8 of the 9 previously machined 72x608x37 mm pieces and the only non worked one and carry out the second moulding on the opposite side.
|
 |
Assemble and glue together all the machined pieces, holding them tightly together with a clamp. When joining the pieces together, make sure you lay them out so as they show opposite and alternate wood grains (Fig. 3). |
 |
Position the tenonig brazed cutter onto the spindle moulder.
- E. JAMBS GROOVING TENONS
Take 2, 115x2100x44 mm pieces. Now groove each end of the top and bottom jambs. Working depth must be 103 mm and 8 mm thick. |
 |
Fix the knives onto the multiprofile cutterhead for doors (item code TP42M AB3) and correctly position it onto the spindle moulder.
- C. TOP AND BOTTOM TRANSOMS
Take. 2, 115x900x44 mm pieces. - FIRST PHASE - TENONING Work one side, cross grain of the two pieces. |
 |
- C. TOP AND BOTTOM TRANSOMS
- SECOND PHASE - TENONING Turn the pieces upside down and work the same side cross grain again, as previously done.< TD> |
 |
- C. TOP AND BOTTOM TRANSOMS
- THIRD AND FOURTH PHASES - TENONING Take the two previously moulded pieces and repeat the same operation cross grain, on the opposite side of each one, as described in steps 5 - 6. |
 |
- D. INTERMEDIATE TRANSOM
Take 1, 115x830x44 mm piece. TENONING On both sides cross grain, perform the same operations as described in steps 5 - 6 - 7. |
 |
This photo shows the three transoms, with scribe and tenon on both ends. |
 |
- C. TOP AND BOTTOM TRANSOMS
- SECOND PHASE - PROFILING Adjust the tool height. Take the top and bottom transoms and profile on one side, along the grain. |
 |
- C. TOP AND BOTTOM TRANSOMS
- SECOND PHASE - PROFILING Turn the two transoms upside down and profile the same side as previously worked in step 10. |
 |
- D. INTERMEDIATE TRANSOM PROFILING
Take the intermediate transom and repeat the same operations, working both sides along the grain, as in steps 10 and 11. |
 |
E. JAMBS Now take the two 115x2100x44 mm pieces already machined at both ends (see Fig. 4). With an 8 mm mortising bit make a slot which will allow the fixing of the jamb onto the intermediate transom when assembling the door. |
 |
E. JAMBS PROFILNG - FIRST PHASE - With multiprofile cutterhead TP42M AB3, profile the same pieces as worked in step 13. Machine one side of each piece lenght ways, along the grain. |
 |
E. JAMBS PROFILNG - SECOND PHASE - Turn the previously machined pieces upside down and carry out the same operation on the same side length ways, along the grain. |
 |
- This picture highlights the jambs slots and the intermediate and bottom transoms tenons.
|
 |
Position item code TD52M HB3 on the spindle moulder.
- A. TOP AND BOTTOM
- B. INNER RAISED PANELS
- FIRST PHASE - PROFILING Work the two previously prepared panels on all sides (steps 1-2-3), making sure that you first machine the two sides along the grain. |
 |
- A. TOP AND BOTTOM
- B. INNER RAISED PANELS
- SECOND PHASE - PROFILING Turn the panels upside down and carry out the same operations as those described in step 17. |
