All solid face frame edging 3 4 thick mortise tenon joinery even on the 3 4 wide face frames. Question in the past i have been building exclusively overlay face frame cabinets but lately i have been getting some inset door jobs.

For the overlay doors i have been making all perimeter rails and stiles 1 3 4 inches and all middle stile and rails at 2 1 4 inches so i end up with 1 1 4 inch of all of the stiles and rails exposed with my 1 2 inch overlay doors. Typical vertical stiles for face frames are all 3 inches wide. I do not use edge tape because i believe it is strictly cheap junk. Center or divider rails typically measure 2.

Individual face frame rails vary in width from the top of the cabinet to the bottom. I might use a 1 1 2 stile where the cabinet butts up to the wall then 3 4 stiles where i have a single vertical stile in the center of a cabinet and perhaps 1 or 1 1 4 rails.
