- On this week's show, I explain and demonstrate the setup of the (often misunderstood) lock mitre router bit. I hope you find the show useful and enjoyable.
Don't forget to like and subscribe and as always, thank you for tuning in. I truly appreciate your support.
This is the best demonstration of how to set up the lock bit I’ve found. Thanks!
I'm glad that you liked it Lee. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your setup.
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!
Glad that you found the show to be useful Andrew. Good luck with your setup and thanks for tuning in to the show.
You told us all as it is. No confusion, straight understandable language. Best set up I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for the kind words on the show Cameron. I'm glad that you found it to be useful. Thanks so much for tuning in to the show. I truly appreciate it.
He is so good. I'm doing increasing numbers of Projects in my retirement. Previously, I've been trying to work-out techniques; now I shall go here for guidance. Best wishes for a Happy Christmas Mr A.W.
You're a very good explainer and instructor, don't you know that? Very clear and comprehensive!!!
Thank you for the kind words SAM. I'm glad that you found the show to be useful. Thank you for tuning in to the show.
I’ve heard enough negative comments on how to set this cutter and obviously this video is the one I needed to see thanks for sharing
I'm glad that you found it useful. The setup can be finicky but once you get it, it's not as hard as everyone says it is. Good luck on your setup and thanks for tuning in to the show.
As some others have said ,your video on setting up and using the 45 degree lock miter is without a doubt the BEST there is on youtube ! Anyone contemplating purchasing and using one of the bits needs to watch your video first . Thank you.
Thank you very much for the kind words on the show. I'm glad that you found it to be useful. I truly appreciate you tuning in to the program and taking the time to leave a comment. Thanks.
The best video yet for setting up a lock miter joint
I appreciate the kind words on the show Donald. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
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.
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.

Glad to have your as a subscriber Randy. With over 875 episodes of the show on the channel, I'm sure that there's something there to interest you. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your setup.
This is the best video ever on setting up a lock miter bit. A real master class. Very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words on the show. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for tuning in as I appreciate your support.
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.
Glad that you found the video to be useful. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
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!
I'm glad that the show was able to help you understand this bit Stephan. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
First timer and I’m subbed- I’ve learned more from this vid than you could possibly imagine, complete masterclass! Thanks
Glad to have you as a subscriber John. I hope you find many episodes of the show to enjoy. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave the kind words. I truly appreciate it. Looking forward to your future comments on the show.
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 😊
I'm glad that you found the show to be useful Rodney. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words. Good luck on your setup of the lock mitre bit.
I watch this as a another example of some one telling the best way to make a lock mitre cut,and this has to be the best I have seen and it does work out to give you a trouble free joint.well done
Glad to hear that you liked the show and found it useful. Thanks so much for the kind words and for tuning in to the show.
I watched with great interest while you made perfect 45 lock miter without one of those expensive coping sleds. I want to thank you greatly I appreciate it very much. this old dog learned a new trick tonight. Thanks, much
You're very welcome Arthur. I'm glad that you found the show to be useful. Thank you so much for tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words. It's very much appreciated.
Excellent video, thank you. Clear camera angles, clear instruction and complete.
Glad that you liked it Ken. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Wow 😮. Just wow ! Understood the first time . I have a hand router . Just need to apply the principles. Thank you thank
A router bit that takes off this much material is not recommended for use in a hand held router. I would be very cautious using a lock mitre bit in this way. Thanks for tuning in Deano. It's appreciated.
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!!!
Glad that you found the video to be useful. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your project.
You did a Awesome job of explaining how to set this router up. You went slow and explained everything in detail. Thanks so much.
I'm glad that you liked it David. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for the kind words. It's appreciated.
By far, the best explanation of how to use this bit! I now have the nerve to try mine 🙂
Glad that you liked it and found it useful Roger. Good luck on your setup and thank for tuning in to the show.
Excellent explanation. I have just bought myself a Lock mitre router bit and now I know how to set it up. I am about to make a new work bench with lots of drawers, so this will come in handy.
Glad that you found the show useful Havelock. Good luck with your build and thanks for tuning in to the show.
Thank you. The bit came without a clue how to use it. Since I’m as mechanically inclined as two dead flies, your video has been a life ( not to mention wood) saver.
You're very welcome Richard. Sadly, these bits rarely come with any instructions. I'm glad that you found the video helpful. Good luck on your setup and thank you for tuning in to the show.
Brilliant and clear explanation & demonstration. Particularly the advice about using wide stock, then ripping to size. This brought back forgotten words of my teacher 60 years ago - "Leave it as long as you can, for as long as you can". Thank you.
Those are some wise words from your teacher Mike and they are words that still hold true today. I'm glad that you found this video to be helpful. Good luck with your setup and thanks for tuning in to the show.
Best explanation of how to set up a lock miter bit.
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Sound Info, I bought a set of these bits about a year ago and struggled with setup. Now I'm ready to go in the shop and give it a Try !
Glad to hear that the show gave you the confidence to try it again Timothy. Good luck with your bit setup and thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words. It's appreciated.
You answered my question pretty much out of the gate which was, which way to move the bit, up or down, during the initial setup to get the pieces to the same height. Thanks for the great explanation!
Glad that you found it useful Bill. Good luck on your setup and thanks for tuning in to the show.
Awesome job! Thank you! I had been practicing and failing each time before I saw this.
I'm glad that this video was able to help you Wayne. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Thanks a million! Just about to pull the trigger on a locking bit. Now I have an idea how to!
Glad that you found the video useful Greg. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave your comment. I appreciate it.
Followed your instruction and after some practice and a few cock ups have now successfully made my first drawer.
Thanks for the easy to understand tutorial.
You're very welcome Tony. I'm glad to hear that you were able to use my tutorial and get your first successful joints. That's fantastic news!!! Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
18:48 Hahaha thanks for the giggles and thank you for teaching me how to use this bit I bought soooo many years ago. I’m going to try it out tonight on my brand new router/table.
I'm glad that I could give you a little laugh Cheri. Good luck with your setup and I hope you enjoy your new router table. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Love your tutorial. I’ve always been fascinated with this but I have no clue how to do it. Will try it this tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show. Good luck on your setup
@@acutabove_woodworkings thanks again. Your detailed tutorial made it easier for us beginners to set this up. Watching more of your videos. Cheers!
Top tutorial! Solid to the point with no fluff👍🏼how all tutorials should be. Very enjoyable to watch and educational. Just ordered my lock mitre bit on the back of the info presented here 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad to hear that you liked the video Kev. Good luck with your mitre bit. Just remember that even with this tutorial, it will take some adjustment and the setup is rarely perfect the first time. The good news is that after you get it dialled in, you can rout setup blocks to make future setups faster. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Thanks for the support 👍🏼 any makes of router bits you would recommend? I just ordered a cheap one from ebay @ AUD $7.15 to get started and make a scrap wood bin on casters to get a grip on the set-up and use of the bit.
@@kevh5487 I'm not partial to any particular brand of bit. The cheaper the bit, the quicker it dulls but it still takes a while. The more expensive bits have a harder steel that holds the edge longer.
This is the best lock mitre bit set up video i've seen, wish I watched this one first before I did 30 failed test pieces following other videos, got a decent joint after 3 tests with this video. Biggest problem I have is the fine height adjustment , one thou increments would be awesome
I'm glad that you found the show useful and helpful. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your joinery. It's all about the fine tuning now that you have a working setup.
Excellent video. A touch slow on pace, but very informative and well worth the time to watch it!
I'm glad that you found it worth the time to watch. As for the slow pace....it's just the way I teach. Thank you for tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I'd rather go slow and get ALL the info than feel like I'm missing something. Measure twice, cut once! Thank you for the great video!
@@BlackBearCustomKydex Agreed. Thanks for the kind words.
I've had that bit for years and could never figure out how to use the darned thing!! Until now!! Thanks for an understandable video that actually teaches the viewer how to use this bit.
You're very welcome Claude. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your bit set up.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Appreciate it (and you!).
@@claudeelliott3993 That's very kind of you to say. Thank you.
I just purchase a lock miter bit for a project I am working on. This video was awesome!!! Thank you for sharing, it added so much clarity on how to set this up.
You're very welcome Ric. Glad that I could help. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave the kind words. Good luck with your mitre bit.
That was amazing you are a great teacher. Thank you.
I'm glad that you found it to be useful. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
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.
Glad that you found the show to be useful Stan. It can be a difficult bit to understand and set up. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave such kind words. It's very much appreciated.
This is the best video ever I seen showing the best way to use lock miter bit ,You are the best
Thanks for the kind words on the show Mathew. I truly appreciate it. Good luck with your mitre bit and thanks for tuning in to the show.
I'm trying to build my own speaker cabinets, using lock mitre corners. Really glad to find this video. I think I might even be able to do it right.
GJ explaining it to a noob!
I'm glad that you found the show useful. Good luck on your speaker cabinets. The extra glue surface that the lock mitre bit provides should make for a strong box. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words. It's very much appreciated.
Seeing the plastic protection sheet on the Wixey readout gladdened my heart. I do that too for all electronic displays, and thought I was the only weirdo that did that. BTW best lock miter setup video ever.
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.
Taping a backer to the workpiece is the tip I needed!
I'm glad that you were able to take something positive away from the show. Thanks for tuning in.
Nice Job! Incredibly thorough and appreciate the fact that you absolutely took your time and explained all processes. You gained a fellow woodworking subscriber. Thx again!
Glad to have you as a subscriber. I hope that you will find other episodes of the show that will interest you. I appreciate you tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words. Thank you.
Believe me, I just tried to set one up, and I gave up. This is very well done.
Thanks for the kind words on the show Jim. I hope that after viewing this episode of the show, that you will have a successful setup of your lock mitre bit. Unfortunately, most of them don't come with instructions. Keep in mind that after you get the setup close, you may need to tweak it a bit to get a perfect joint, but my show should help you to get more than acceptable results with your bit. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. It's appreciated.
Ich glaube das ich nach deiner großartigen Erklärung jetzt diesen Fräser endlich benutzen kann.
Danke!
Good luck Johann. I hope that by using my show as a tutorial, you will have some success with your lock mitre bit. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave me a comment.
Purely by coincidence this video popped up in my recommendations on the day I bought a lock mitre bit in a tool sale.
I had been looking at it trying to work out the set up, so this video has just saved me some hours of trial and error.
So Kenny, thanks very much for a terrific explanation of how to set it up
You're very welcome Nic. I'm glad that this video was timely and useful to you. Thanks for tuning in to the show. It's very much appreciated.
there are no coincidences when it comes to google, amazon, etc!
Certainly if you mention something within the hearing of Alexa it will appear somewhere in your recommendations, don't believe me? Play the game we do, talk about something that you have absolutely no interest in and sit back and wait ,- it won't take long!
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.
Glad that you found the show to be useful. Thank you for tuning in and for taking the time to leave the kind words on the show. It is very much appreciated.
I am glad o found this before i gonna use it. I really do appreciate the way you explain the safety issues from a router. Coming weeks i will use this video as set up for my router. I did think it would impossible for doing long pieces but will found out. 240 cm joint😊
I'm glad that you found this video to be useful. Good luck with your setup and thanks for tuning in to the show.
hello dear handyman friend
I am French and I have just seen and listened with great pleasure to your demonstration, which really interested me. I want to congratulate you on your speech, you spoke slowly which allowed me to understand your explanations - I say bravo for what you are doing and a big thank you

I am glad that you found this show helpful. Thank you very much for tuning in to the program and for taking the time to leave the kind words. It is very much appreciated. Good luck with your lock mitre bit setup.
@@acutabove_woodworkings thanks thanks Kenny
@@acutabove_woodworkings Hello Kenny
Know that I keep your site in a corner of my computer preciously I will not fail to visit you virtually of course because your demonstrations are very well done. Thank you again for the time you devote to us - it's a pleasure to see you work I am a former mechanic my job was a miller and I am discovering DIY in carpentry and I like it but I am 68 years old and retired. I bought myself a Silverline 2050 Watt router and this famous cutter that you present mine has a diameter of 51mm (2 inches) here I think I'll do a hell of a job with your explanations. I learned the lesson well.
Good continuation and above all do not change anything.
Cordiality from France
Michael
@@robottix1 you are welcome.
@@robottix1 Good luck with your project and your woodworking adventure.
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.
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.
I just now found this most helpful, insightful tutorial. Your class has helped me with a number of questions I had, even an insight I was only kicking around in my head.
Not only am I now not hesitant to order a lock miter jig, but I am looking forward to applying what I have learned. This is really good! I subscribed and rang the bell.
Glad to have you aboard as a subscriber Mike. Make sure that you are patient with the setup. It can take some time to get it done initially but once you get it, it's great. You can always make a set of setup blocks once you've dialled in your settings. Thanks for tuning in to the show and good luck with your new bit.
This was tremendously helpful.
Glad to hear it Nick. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your comment. It's very much appreciated.
Very well done and informative. Should be a teacher

You are a real professor.
I hope this means that you liked the show. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your setup.
Thanks for that explanation because I'm breaking my head. I bought it to do work at my house and I didn't know how to set it up.
Thank you!
I'm glad to hear that you found the show to be useful. Thanks for tuning in
Just received a 3/4,5/8, and 1/2 set and trial and error I accomplished making a proper mitre. Then I saw your video and it helps to expedite this task much easier than what I went through.
I will have to see how long these bits stay sharp considering the amount of stock removed. Always a pleasure to watch your techniques.
Glad to hear that you enjoy the show Allen. Good luck with your new bits. I too would be interested in how long they stay sharp. I've had my bit for years (over 10 at least) and it is still going strong. I get it's all relative to how much you use it and what materials you are using it on. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
This takes the mystery out of it. Setting those up has been hit or miss for me. Thanks.

Great explanation, I was about to throw my lock mitre bit away because I couldn't get it to work. Will go back and try now.
Hopefully, like others who have watched this video, you will have success now. Good luck with your mitres and thank you for tuning in to the show. It's very much appreciated.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I do like your Router lift and fence. My router table is a just a piece of melamine covered blockboard mounted on the side of my bench on a couple of heavy duty fold out shelf brackets. My fence is made from offcut pieces of 3/4 inch plywood so i have far less precision than you. But I have recently invested in a Kreg mounting plate that takes my router the Triton TR001 which actually has a built in router lift. As I previously said I am in the process of building a work bench with a built in router station. Thanks again for the explanation.
@@havelockvetinari9395 Sounds like a great plan on the bench. Good luck with your build.
Probably one of the best explanations on this topic I've come across. Definitely going to save it for reference later. 10:05... this is where a micro-adjuster for the fence comes in so handy.
I also like that you make two passes across the router to ensure a clean cut. I do the same.
I agree on the micro adjust. I've recently (in the past year) added a micro adjust to my Jessem router table and the difference is night/day. Glad that you liked the show and found it useful. Thanks for tuning in.
Same here... I added a cheap Rockler micro-adjuster this past year. A simple rigged setup to use my table saw fence as the reference to my router fence and not the table (my router sits in a table saw extension wing). The table saw fence macro moves both, then I lock it down and use the micro adjuster to fine tune the router fence and lock it down.
Great explanation and tutorial...Got to be one of the hardest bit to set up so I would recommend making a set up block for future set ups
Once you get your settings dialled in, I would definitely suggest making a setup block. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
Best set up video for the lock miter that I looked at. Thanks!
You're very welcome Edmund. I'm glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave the kind words. It's very much appreciated.
Great job! The support piece that you taped to run through as support was awesome as well!! Great job.
Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show. I hope that you found it useful.
A really exceptional video which demonstrates a complicated set-up, in an easy to understand manner. Your guidance and tips are really well presented.
Can’t wait to get out to my workshop and give it a go!
Glad that you liked it Tom. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show. Good luck on your setup.
Excellent, well done and there are many that promote using one type of template or another to set these joints up. But, your approach to getting it PERFECT is beyond what one can accomplish with templates. Thank you!
Glad to hear that you found the show to be useful William. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave such a nice comment. It is very much appreciated.
I Agree!, best set up video on this cutter. Better than the cutter manufacturers instructions by far.
Thank you for the kind words on the show Stephen. I'm glad to hear that you found the show to be useful. After quite some time getting frustrated with this bit's setup, I decided to produce this show to help others and I'm glad to see that it is well received. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave a comment. It is very much appreciated.
WOW, best explanation I've seen No toys needed just raw his is how its done.
These are probably one of the most confusing bits to set up and I'm going to bet a lot of people give up on them.
But its such a solid joint with lots of glue surface to hold a joint and strong.
Thanks for the kind words on the show. I truly appreciate it. It seems that most of the videos today, for setting up a lock mitre bit, are just an infomercial for a "no fail setup block". I'm glad that you enjoyed the show and found it useful. Thanks for tuning in. I truly appreciate it.
My english insn't very good, but i was able to understand all instructions. And that's why because you explained the procces so damn well. I want to be your padawan my Master!!
I'm glad that you were able to understand the explanation in the show. I hope that you are able to set up your lock mitre bit and use it successfully. Thank you for tuning in to the show.
The only video I found that makes sense. Thank you
Glad that you found the show to be useful. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in. It's very much appreciated.
Well, what can I say... You're a Master Kenny. Very easy to understand and very interesting to view this explanation. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep on the good work. Two thumbs up.

Thank you!! I bought one of those bits a few years ago, never used it and lost the instructions.
Glad that I could help Richard. Good luck with your mitres and thank you for tuning in to the show.
So thankful for your video I purchased one of these bits a couple years ago Used trial-and-error to set it up went crazy and threw it back in the drawer Thanks again I feel like I can now use it
Well good luck with your setup Buckley. I'm glad to hear that you found the show useful and that it has inspired you to try the bit again. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words. I very much appreciate it.
Just bought one of these. Best video I have seen. Just realize my homemade table may have to be updated at some point. Thanks, great tips and video.

hey kenny good video, i have had that bit for years, and never used it because of the set up. now i will have to try again, thanks to your vid, keep up the good work. always enjoy your vids......
Thanks for the kind words Robbi. If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for tuning in.
Thanks Kenny
Always great to get a great description in plain English for a setup like this. Keep up the great videos as always.
Thanks for the kind words Wayne. I appreciate you tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave a comment.
I use the lock-miter bit for picture frames. Once I got the router height and fence just right, I made a horizontal cut and then glued a vertical piece to it making an L shaped piece that fits right over the router bit. This is my template for setting the router and fence every time. It is far easier to set up the bit up with a precision router lift. Changing the height by 1/64" makes a big difference.
Another great use for this bit Scott. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for chiming in with your experience. I appreciate it.
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!!
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.

Thanks for the video. I've continually had the devil's own time of it getting mine set up right on the money.
They can be a frustrating bit to set up Bob. Hopefully you will have better results by following the methods that I show here on the show. Good luck with your setup and thanks for tuning in to the show.
Thank you! You're a great teacher!

I'm a hobby woodworker and have been since I was 10yrs old working alongside my grandfather in his shop. While the other boys and girls were outside playing I was in his shop. And being a girl, and I like to think his favorite grandchild, I was enthralled with the old tools he used. (When he passed, I inherited the "family" tools. Dating back to 1637. The tools helped build the houses, furniture, and household items my ancestor's needed over the centuries. It also fueled my life long passion for collecting antique woodworking tools.) I'm sorry, I digress. I bought this bit recently and thought it would be a breeze to use. Wrong! I set it aside and kicked myself for buying a not so cheap bit. But, you have given a good demo here. It's still a little technical process for the alignment of this damn bit. I'm willing to try again, but you're coming with me to the shop when I try again, lol. Thanks, Kenny!
There are two things that I love about your comment on this episode of the show. The first thing is your experience with your grandfather. I had similar experiences with both my father and my grandfather and I too, started at the age of 10. It's one of the reasons that I stress getting your children in the shop at an early age and introducing them to something other than electronics and technology. Thanks for sharing your experience. The second thing I love is the fact that I have given you some inspiration to get in the shop and give this bit a second chance. Thank you so much for your kind words and for tuning in to the show. It's truly appreciated. Good luck with your lock mitre.
thanks for the info, I've just ordered one of these bits and now I know how to set it up. Thanks again, great vid.
