- Make stronger miter joints by using a rabbet miter on your next woodworking project. Making wood boxes is often a task for woodworkers, and mitered corners are a popular joint of choice. However, miters are an inherently weak joint. In your next wood box project, learn how to make rabbet miter joints to make your boxes rock solid!

I'm a new woodworker trying to understand more about miter joints. Every video that I saw so far used festool dominos or splines, but it just seems that could have a cleaner (and cheaper way to do it). This joint makes perfect sense and it can be done with a few tools - thank you so much for showing that.
Thank you for this video. Everybody shows how to do this with a router table but I don’t have one and I figured it should be possible on the table saw. This is perfect. Now I can finish my Christmas present making.
This is a good lock miter for plywood. The regular lock miter profile can leave the plywood a bit weak and the little tabs can sometimes break. Infinity also makes a router bit set (2 bits) which makes the same profile as you made, it will work on material from 1/2” to 3/4”.
One innovative joint
Pretty slick👌
Thanks
I'll have to give that one a try next time I make boxes.
Very cool
Nice instructional video - thanks! The music DOES NOT add any value however and is just irritating.
How has this video gotten no love? This a great joint, I’m on a box making kick right now. Great option other than splines.
It's a great join, but not easy to make repetitive. Cutting that 45 gonna need to be super accurate
Cutting a 45 degree angle is the same difficulty as cutting a 90 degree angle. I'm not sure I understand why you think it's not easy to do repeatedly. Once you set your blade to 45, cut all of your pieces. Give it a shot and you may find that you are better than you're giving yourself credit.
@@NewtonMakes because when we cut the 45, how can we make sure we cut at the right location, not to short, not to long, for the 2 pieces to mate. Unless there is a stop block to help.
@@b3arwithm3 I do agree to some extent. What I have found to speed up the process is to go ahead and cut two ends with a 45, and then set the fence to half the width of the board, and cut all the daddos. From there you have two finished ends, and the other two just need that tricky 45. I'm working on something to kill the guesswork related with the last part of the cut though.
Ideally though, a router bit on a table would be the best solution for this joint, but i'm sure that's why your here in the first place.
Stop blocks are your friend when it comes to repeatability. I will set up a stop block even if I just need two identical sides and its finnicky to get it exact.
Hi this is a good tip
Any chance It can be done with a palm router and circular saw?
Y did u make some of the dados a different width?
The real stregnth here seems to be that it should be easier to liner everything up during assembly
will this work with MDF melamine boards? or are they going to be too weak?
I'm not sure. You'd have to try it out.
this is AWESOME! But how are the corners secured?
Screws? Brads?
I'd like to use wooden dowels...
Is that possible>
Glued and clamped
The first time I encountered this was in some research on Stickley furniture. Believe it or not, they used a rabbeted miter to create square legs, with face grain on all four sides. Just like the modern “lock miter” (TB C mentioned the lock miter in their comment.)
I’ve used the method several times. As you say it’s a great joint, and very strong. But it’s fussy; especially when making long lockmiter-style cuts. I would love it if someone marketed a cutter!
