Jim,

Were you at the Austin users group this year, Swear I saw you but I could not get next to you. Maybe next year.

I was getting ready to write a tool to do this until I found yours. Now no need to. Gadget is wonderful.

I have a suggestion. I was using a tool that I found at tools today.
Here is the video link if you look at about 56 seconds on the time line you see that they are using a 3D effect to actually square the corners with the VBit. In using this it is actually square and gets rid of the last of the rounding. Is this something that can be added to your gadget specifically for shaker style doors.

After looking at the video in your post I see what you are looking for. I have run MDF Cabinet Door Maker and found the this is already in the gadget. In the Tooling selection select a V-Bit for both the Inside Edge, Outside Edge and Panel Forming. Also in Defaults Set the Raised Panel Bit and the Scribe Bit as desired.

If you have any other questions I will be happy to assist you. I may not be of Jim's Caliber in LUA Coding Knowledge but I am not afraid to give whatever may be needed a go.

And Yes Jim was at the UGM in Austin.
