Would you please explain the differences between shaker style doors and mission style doors? Are they both basically tongue and groove joints?

Mission Style & Shaker Doors?
Our Expert
The Mission Style door making router bits #55438 create a square-edged frame that follows the simple lines of that style of furniture. The Shaker style, Amana Tool #54133 and 55426, use a "thumbnail" profile along the edges of the door frame. The Shaker style panel has a short, somewhat steep bevel which is often found on Shaker doors of the period.
