You will want to setup 2 different easel files with the settings above so you can cut on the different materials this project has a .01" tolerance for the pieces to fit together so you will have a nice snug fit also make sure to measure your materials with a set of calipers to make sure that you have the correct settings as you might have to adjust according to what you have
I hope you enjoy this simple project if you have any questions just let me know
