How to......

[WarnerConstCo.]

I am going to be installing a real paneled wall wainscoting in about 90' of hallway.

I want to bead the edge of the rails and styles but, I don't really think it is possible to do and make them meet right without breaking out a hand saw and miter box to cut some jack miters.

I have seen Kreg post some stuff with beading his edges but, don't recall that directly relating to what I am wanting to do.

You should look into the other Kreg, system that is. Precision Beaded Face-Frame System.

That is a nice set-up but, not something I want to drag to the job site.
Nor do I really care for the notch for the connection of parts.  I don't think that would look so good with a 4" wide rail notched into a 5" style.

I think I may just deal with nailing on a bead for each panel.

You can use solid stock or even mdf, rout the bead on that and then rip it off.  Miter that and use a pin nailer/glue to apply to the inside of the frame.

I can buy the beaded piece right from the mill around the corner, that was the game plan so far, cut, cut, cut, glue and pins.

You can make up a jig for the tablesaw pretty easily.  Basically just a miter gauge with a sacrificial front and some stops.  If I'm doing this on site and I want real jack miters ill often do it with a miter saw then clean up the notch with a chisel and razor knife.  If i remember correctly Gary Katz has a pretty neat little jig for a router he made on his website.  I actually think i might try that next time.

I'd use a router and MFS or something like Gary's jig.  I would clamp the top and bottom rails together and rout them at the same time.  With a decent setup it would go pretty fast.  Monkeying around with a chisel and razor knife would be too time consuming for me.

Here's Gary's jig for jack miters

I thought Joe Fusco had a good description, too, but I can't find it at the moment

For what you are doing a jig is definitely in order. However for just a few, mokeying around with a sharp chisel is much faster than building a jig ;D . Gotta know how to use the old time tools too.

Have a look at this thread here:

I've used this method. I bought a couple of router cutters from www.wealdentool.com - a TB1910-1/2 mortar groove and a small beading cutter (I think it was a T2501B).
I'm sure other suppliers sell similar cutters as well. Obviously, you need to take the bearing off the mortar groove cutter - it will then cut a nice flat-bottomed joint.
These were used in the router table. I did all the mitres with the router, whereas the original poster used a table saw for some of them.

As you're doing panelling rather than a face frame you'll have to run off a groove down the edges of the rails and stiles, which you could probably do after cutting the joints and running the edge beading moulding.
