To hold a glass panel in a door frame, I like to use beveled glass stop. The bevel on these narrow strips of wood allows you to hold the brads at a more convenient angle as you drive them in place. And fortunately, this glass stop can be made entirely on the table saw.
To make the glass stop, I started with a 11⁄2"-wide blank of 1"-thick stock. The first step is to tilt the saw blade to 45° and adjust the rip fence of your saw to cut a 3⁄16" chamfer on each edge of the blank.
Next, I set my rip fence to cut a kerf along the edge of the blank. By turning the workpiece around and end for end, you can cut all four kerfs with one setup.
Finally, I turned the blank on its side, repositioned my rip fence, and raised the blade to rip the glass stop free.
