    My first attempt at using a lock miter was predictably a disaster. This explained just what I needed to know in a straightforward and enjoyable way. Thanks!

    Using a set up block made for your specific lock miter bit makes it so much easier. That being said this is a great help to someone who doesn’t have a setup block.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would agree with that statement Brad and using a setup block a definitely a great help. The problem is that most bits don't come with them. By following the methods that I demonstrate on the show however, you can fine tune the setup and then make your own setup block for future use. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave a comment. I truly appreciate it.

    Wow. You made it all put together in my head. I had a vague notion of setup but now that's pretty much embedded in my head. I bought a couple of the bits and been hesitant to use them. Now I can figure out what to make first with them. Thank you.

    I’ve watched many clips on all sorts of working techniques, however none and repeat none have so clear and straight forward to understand. Nothing is left out and nothing is added of little value. Absolute perfection. Thank you. I’m not minutes away from following your instructions to the letter for the very first use of both my new router table, router and mitre bit. I have confidence its going to be good. Cheers 😊

    @user-fs2kl7ed7e 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This is truly a great Lesson!! Thank you. The part that I found most helpful was how to know if you need to raise or lower the bit. I followed your instructions and got it setup after two hours. I don’t have a router lift on my table so that made it bit of a slow process. I’ll continue tomorrow and try to build a fireplace mantle. Basically a long box meant to look like one piece.

    Great video Kenny! I purchased one of these a couple of years ago and have never used it. I've watched a couple of other videos but yours is far more informative than others. I like the method of double-taping the sacrificial board on the top to protect that sharp 45 degree angle. Thanks for this video, Kenny! I'll definitely refer to this when I set mine up.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad that you found the show useful. The lock mitre bit is a useful bit when it comes to making boxes or drawers. It's strong and honestly, it's a heck of a lot of fun to see the joints come together. Good luck on your set up and using your new bit. Thanks for tuning in.

    Hello and good day, I have watched your video and explanation for the 45° milling cutter several times! First of all > your explanation is great! There are hundreds of videos on how to set up this cutter - almost all of them have one thing in common: you have to study mathematics to understand it! Your explanation, on the other hand, is 1a - you immediately understand how to adjust the milling cutter on the machine and it works almost on the first try - thank you very much!

      LOL. Nope, you're not the only one. I like to keep things clean and clear and eventually I will take the screen protector off when it is no longer clean and clear but for now, it will stay where it is. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for the kind words on the program.

    Kenny, I just got a set of lock miter bits, and after viewing a video from the dealer, it still left questions. Your video is the BEST of the best. It explains the setup in full detail and pretty much leaves you with a fool proof setup and cut. Thanks for your well informed video; keep 'em coming.

  • @dalebailey1116
    @dalebailey1116 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just fantastic Kenny. I agree with the others, best set up video by far. Centering the bit on the stock for height and ensuring the bit crosses the stock at the apex of the 90 degree point for depth gives set up clear focus. Without that, hitting the target accidentally with trial and error is frustrating and no learning for the next time really happens. Sounds like a lot of us purchased the bit with the dream of the perfect miter and easy glue up, but put it back on the shelf after seeing those many other, less than clear, set up videos. Thank you!!

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the kind words on the program. The bit isn't that difficult to set up and really, one you get the setup done correctly, it doesn't take much to run some UHMW plastic of the same thickness as your project through the bit for a setup block for later. I'm glad to see that this show helped so many people. Thanks for tuning in Dale.

    Thank you so much for taking the time and effort in this exceptional video tutorial on how to properly set up a lock mitre router bit. Your explanations and demonstrations are so clear that if I have any beginner's skill at all I should be able to (by trial and error) be able to use your techniques in my construction of a cabinet for a clock I'm contemplating. Your are a real craftsman and instructor.

    great video. I am new to woodworking and just bought a locking miter router bit for a project that I want to build and need to put a bottom in the bottom of a rectangular box. A miter joint is perfect because you will not see the slot that I cut slide the board in. Problem a regular miter is so hard to clamp and glue, plus this locking miter will be much stronger. Just used your video to foul around with some scrape wood. Came pretty close on first try just like in your video. Best video on the web on this subject!!!

      A lot of those "easy set" gauges are just that Al....useless. A lot of them are built for use with a specific bit on a specific fence and table setup. If someone is going to take the time to learn how to use a setup gauge, they would be better off learning how to setup the bit without the gauge and then, they would be able to use any bit, on any table setup.
