I just viewed on line Double-duty router bits: Cope-and-stick router sets can do more than just cabinet doors by T.H. Richards. Although the fairly complex and touchy system he describes accomplished his intended goal, why didn’t he just use the bits as designed and create the dadoes and then pass the styles and rails through the table saw with the blade partially exposed to cut off one lip of the dadoes, converting them into rabbets?
This seems much easier and less prone to error.

Sorry
It was featured in the monthly Fine HOMEBUILDING newsletter, which is probably where I should have posted my question, but I figure woodworkers have a better handle on this than guys with nail guns and hammer holsters (no slight intended).
Anyway, it is http://www.taunton.com/finehomebuilding/how-to/video/mixed-use-router-bits.aspx
Not to rain on Mr. Richards' thunder, but that process has been done "forever". The two piece matched set S/R made it possible.Work Safe, Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

Go ask him. Richards is a frequent contributor to Breaktime, using the handle Dinosaur.
Post something over there with his handle, and I'm sure you will get a response.
