Although the shaper is capable of raising the panel in a single pass, I find that a better finish can be achieved if two passes are used. Rough out the bulk of the stock on the first pass, leaving about 1/16" for a final finishing pass.
Check the thickness of the tenons on the edges and the end of the panels. Red oak has a tendency to compress when cutting across the end grain, and sometimes an extra pass may be needed to bring the end grain tenons to the same thickness as those on the sides.
