Lock Mitre
Attached is an image of a lock mitre bit.
In use the following should be noted IMHO
1) Only use in a good rigid router table
2) Use a variable speed, soft start router
3) Ensure the pieces to be jointed are (very) straight
4) Ensure that the routed profile is full depth , full length
5) Carefully set the router bit so that its mid point is exactly at the mid point of the stock when both flat and verical as one piece will be routed flat, the other vertical
6) remember that after the stock passes the bit it must still have at least an edge at full width otherwise a disaster will result, hence the need to very carefully set the mid point to the half width.
7) remove excess stock before routing (45 deg cut of the material) as you will make only one pass, you can't "sneak up" on it.
This all learnt by bitter experience. Grandmothers and eggs applies of course.
