All but of couple of my upper doors are true divided lite. To make these I purchased the freud 99-270 router bit set. For the lower doors and drawer faces and two upper doors I was planing on flat panel construction with the panel fitting into a grove in the rail and stiles. The divided lite set won't make this type. It doesn't cut a groove but a rabbit. Is it inappropriate to mount panels in a rabbit and apply some kind of backing around the edge to hold it in just like they were glass panels. I can't imagine why this won't work. But, want to be sure before I mess up some expensive wood. Also, I want things to look good and be "right". Would I be better off getting a rail and stile set with a matching profile (its a plain cove) and go that way?
