Making Custom Arched Doors Has Never Been Easier!

The Frame & Panel Master provides a safe, secure, easy to control work platform that speeds your frame and panel work. Clamps your workpiece and our Door Making Templates together for machining on your router table or shaper. Faster than using double face tape or nails to hold the template on the work. Quickly converts between rails and panels. Use it for flush trimming parts to shape or to machine the panel and rail profiles with appropriate router bits (Router bits not included).

Each set includes our FPM-001 Frame & Panel Master and your choice of either PDT-101 Cathedral Door Templates or PDT-201 Arched Door Templates.

Designed for 5" to 18" parts, or frames 8-3/4" to 21-3/4" based on a 3/8" deep cope joint and a 2-1/4" wide stile. The radius of each template is the same so the arch on different width doors will align and look correct if placed next to each other.

Other features include:

  • Frame & Panel Master provides a safe, secure, easy to control work platform.
  • Insures consistent positioning of panels and rails.
  • Includes twenty Cathedral templates per set, for router use only.
  • Quickly converts between rails and panels.
  • Jig base made of sturdy 1/2" phenolic material to accomodate our optional 500 lb. toggle clamps (100-525) - 2 required, sold separately.
  • Lifetime guarantee against defects in material or workmanship.
