1-1/16'' Diameter x 3/4'' High Drawer Lock Bit (1/2'' shank) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This makes drawers so much easier. Zip zip and you are done.
I was making shallow trays for roll-outs in my kitchen. I used wider stock cut to length, routed the ends for the drawers, then ripped the boards to width. This made it easier to hold the stock stable against the fence, and I could get both sides, automatically the same length, from one piece of wood.
I have one complaint; the instructions are pathetic. If I had known how poor the directions would be, I would have ordered the same kind of bit, but from Lee Valley Tools instead of from Rockler. Lee Valley's instructions are four pages long, showing how to make both through and half-blind joints, how to trouble-shoot problems with the joint, and how long to cut the stock. Their instructions can be downloaded from their website.

Here's a rule of thumb: fully insert the bit, then pull it back out 1/16" to 1/8". 4) Use a router table whenever possible. 5) When using large diameter bits, reduce the RPM of your router; then test your set-up on scrap lumber. 6) Always follow your router manufacturer's recommendations.
