Hi rprice54
2" will work but it makes it hard to get it right, cutting the boards to size.
2 7/16" makes it easy...most R & S bits cut 7/16" deep,but you should check your bit set 1st., the 7/16" on each end of the board is lost in the joint so to speak..
Let's say you want a door that's 10" x 14" when your done,, the rails would be cut 6" long and the stile would be cut to 14" long, as you can see it's easy to get it just right every time with almost no math...
Just a note about glue ups, it's best if the panel is going to be 6" wide or bigger, most woods will cup over time and deform the door...(bowed door) it was once a tree and always wants to go back to that state.
