Strong, well-fit joints are the key to quality drawer construction. Those are the joints you'll get with our drawer lock router bit, and you'll get them with speed and efficiency. Minimum material thicknesses for the Drawer Lock Joint Router Bit are 3/4" for the drawer front and from 1/2" to 3/4"-thick for the sides. When making a box-type drawer use the same thickness material for the rear face as used for the front. The material must be flat and square with accurate 90-degree end cuts for the joints to be straight and the drawer flat.
Been using that kind of bit for 20 years. It's easy and works great.
I'm using such a bit and I may say that it's a really beautiful way to joining plywood and MDF (for wood there are many other methods). if your like me like to build drawers from plywood I higly recommend such bit.
Keep the videos going. I really like these and I will be buying more things from you. Good Job !!
Y'all's quarter kerf blade is sweet.
I have had a bit like this for many years. Now I finally know how to use it :-D Thanks for the video.
Great, fast and easy way to join wood but nothing beats a beautiful dovetail joint when that drawer opens. ; )
Yall need to make a mission style glass doors bit !
A mission style door is a straight tongue and groove. If you cut off one side of the groove to make it into a glass door you end up with a rabbet. At best the joint would be a half lap with very little glue surface. Despite Mission profile doors being the simplest profile, in order to do a glass panel version you have to make the door more complex to retain the strength.
@@InfinityTools I know that I have to domino together and route out back for glass panels! Pain in the butt ! Just wish there was a eazy way because I make so many all the time ! Thanks for your input!
@@InfinityTools just wondering why can't you make it the same as your glass doors bits just with a straight cut at top where profile is normally? You have different profiles already just not a straight cut one? I could still put a dowel or domino through joint to strengthen it if necessary? Thanks
The cutter would simply be a rabbeting bit.
Will this work with 1/2" plywood for drawers or only 3/4" and up? Is there a locking router bit version for 1/2" ply?
Thanks
Minimum material thicknesses for the Drawer Lock Joint Router Bit are 3/4" for the drawer front and from 1/2" to 3/4"-thick for the sides.
Like your videos. Question, why did you route long grain? When assembling drawrs you work the narrow edge. Do you recomend using a backer block or sled?
Hi, we routed long grain for demonstration purposes as it requires the least amount of work holding so that you can see the bit in action. This is also why we made the sample drawer with solid wood and plywood so you can see the results in both materials. Any time you are routing end grain or small pieces a sled is a good idea, and a backer board is a must. The only exception to this rule I have found is when raising panels that are large enough to not need additional support.
Can use it for different sizes of plywood ? 12mm, 10mm ?
This bit can be used for 13mm, 16mm, and 19mm Plywood. 10mm and 12mm would be too thin.
Edit to say 10mm and 12mm can be used for the drawer sides, but not the front and back.
@@InfinityTools thanks
How do you establsh setting the hight of the bit in relation the the thickness of the material if you dont have the setup block?
+Sharp Edge Woodworking setting the bit is reasonably straight forward. A good place to start is the bit about 7/16" above the table. This will be a little high but gets you in the ballpark, then you can make a test cut and lower the bit to tighten up the joint. I find this method takes a few test cuts to get dialed in. With the setup block you should be able to get the bit setup with and cutting nice tight joints in 1 or 2 cuts, cutting out a fair amount of fiddling with bit height. the setup block simply gives a very good starting point , especially for the the first few times you use the bit, or if it has been while.
I@@InfinityTools I was also wondering how the bit height is set for different thickness drawer stock. I'm assuming this joint would work for varying stock size?
@@TheTranq set up without using the set up block is explained in the video, around 1:50.
nice.
You can watch this video many times and still be left with the question: how do I use this? The demonstration is not clear and it is not explained well enough, irregardless of him actually using this, example being how to set the fence depth: one detailed example would be sufficient! Ruler or setup block.
Where did you get the 'hold down' wheels
+Steven James the hold downs are Jessem Clear Cut Stock Guides

They are without question the best feather board/hold down we have used.
The fit looks a bit loose when assembled?
Michael Tricker Hi, yes the fit does look a bit loose, that is because of the bright lights and a little shadow from not have the two pieces perfectly lined up on the end grain. With the two pieces flushed up they are a very good fit. That being said, in use if the joint is loose adjusting the bit up ever so slightly will tighten the resulting joint right up. This is a very easy bit to fine tune the fit of the joint to your liking.
