I am making shaker style doors for a cabinet that I am building. I am purchasing Amana no. 55360, divided light door bit set. How are the mullions assembled in the middle of the door? I do not have a tool to use the mortises. Do you have any other ideas on how to make the mortise?

The Amana Tool Divided Light Door Set no.55360 relies on true mortise-and-tenon joinery for strength. True mortise-and-tenon joinery is strong because of the large surface area for glue and the mechanical interlock between the mating parts of the joint. You can cut the mortises with a hollow chisel mortise machine or you can simply drill out the mortise and square the sides with a bench chisel.
