Lock miter bit suggestions

Jan 19, 2004 7 Replies

I've got a small job coming up soon building new cabs for my shop, and I'd like to use a lock miter bit for drawer construction. I only have about 20 drawers to do, so I'm not too keen on spending upwards of $100 for a CMT or Whiteside.



I'll be using Baltic birch for the drawers. What is your brand of choice?


Rick: You can borrow mine.

I've got a Viper, and it works great.

The Katana bit from MLCS worked great for me.

I've been using Grizzly shaper bits with reasonable success.

Shop around - you can get good deals on CMT, or buy a Jesada direct from their website.

Alternatively, buy one from an Australian distributor and leverage the exchange rate to get 25% off!

Here's a few types from Lee Valley Tools. All are considerably less than $100.
