PREPARING BOTTOM SLAT
1. Select the slat that will be the bottom 
slat of the door (Figure 1).
2. Using a tape measure and pencil, 
draw a vertical line on the end of the 
slat, ensuring the line on the slat is 
in line with the slot in the metal stile 
(Figure 2).
4. Set the table saw blade to a 3/4” depth 
(Figure 4).
5. Set the fence to cut just inside one of 
the outer lines (Figure 4).
3. Draw two vertical lines, one on each 
side of the rst line, 3/16” away from the 
rst line (Figure 3). is will show the 
area to cut away with the table saw.
6. Run the saw blade through the 
bottom of the slat, repeating the process 
and moving the fence until the width of 
the groove equals 3/8”.
