Jim, put the frame together without rabbits, then cut them with a rabbit bit on the backside, in 1/8 increments until you have the desired depth and then square the corners with a sharp chisel.<br />

Ok Jim, now I understand the problem you are having and indeed the void created with the rabbet would cause no end of problems with a butt joint 'rolling' in. I guess you could mark off the end of the rails, where no rabbet is needed. It's easy to stop on a router table but difficult on a table saw without the correct set up. I'm glad you solved your dilemma.

First thank you for all your responses, however I don't know if I described the problem correctly in the first place so I will try again. The stile and rails have a rabbit on one side and they are put together in a 90degree anle they are not mitered, however I may ahve found the problem. I think that because the rabitt on the rail continues to the end of the rail, when I attach the stile to the rail there is a 1/4 inch space from the rabbit on the rail that causes the style to slightly spread…

I think that because the rabitt on the rail continues to the end of the rail, when I attach the stile to the rail there is a 1/4 inch space from the rabbit on the rail that causes the style to slightly spread apart when screwed together. I built another frame from some pine I had, and put the rails and stiles together without the rabbit, and the joints hold very tight. NOw that I found this out I will take the frame apart cut the rabbit and try again to see what happens. I will let you know the outcome.<br />

I don't have a picture of this but it basically a picture frame approximately 18X28 and one edge of each rail and stile has a 1/4" rabbit around it. When I use the KREG clamp to secure the corners aand insert the screws, the corner/s on one end seem like they don't hold tight enough and the jont opens slightly and it makes the corner rounded. I am using 1 1/4" Kreg screws as recommended but I don't understaand what is happening.

Can you post a picture of the joint? I think William most likely has the right answer, but a picture would help. Woodcraft in Springfield?

Are you using clamps at the joints? I found that clamping the joint is imperative for a nice tight fit.
