Abstract: A woodworking machine and method for performing multiple operations on a workpiece to produce stiles and rails for cabinetry, doors, windows, frames and the like. A first spindle is moveable relative to a fixed workpiece to cut the end of the workpiece. The workpiece is moveable relative to a second spindle to cut the length of the workpiece. A third spindle may be moved simultaneously with said first spindle or separately to cut a second end of the workpiece. The first and third spindles may be coupled to a moveable carriage and passed between to workpieces to simultaneously cut the ends thereof. Alternatively, the first spindle may cut a first workpiece end in a first direction and the third spindle may cut a second workpiece end in a second direction.
