   labatt ,

            On most frame and panel or stile and rail doors the rail ends are made to fit the slot and on cabinet doors they usually are 1/2" deep just shy of the slot so there is room for glue .

     The entire joinery can be done on the TS

           hope this helps                       dusty

   Thanks,

   I was thinking of using a dado blade set?

     The dado will work great to create the tongues on the rail ends but I set the ts so by running the parts through off each side flipping and running the other side the slot will fit the panels precisely , then fit the rail ends to the slot .

       Make a sample piece with the perfect size slot for your panel material , then do all your rail ends first before cutting the slots .
