Seems Woodpeckers isn't the only one selling a dumb idea.

. . . add Rockler to the list.

don't exist, posted here a couple of years ago?

A young guy on YouTube invented that and apparently sold it to Rockler.
Seems way too complicated to cut a 45. ;~)


But it's cheaper than a Domino. ;-)


It cannot do what a domino can, it basically enables you to cut and bend
a 45.

The quality of the bend will depend greatly on the flexibility and
thickness of the outer veneer.

With cabinet grade plywoods the thickness of the outer veneer is pretty
thin.

And $375.00 I can see it in a high production or factory application but
for the typical Rockler customer..... I don't know.



I think there is a market, just really small. It's a nice design, well
thought out, but pricey. And for most of us, a huge luxury that's not
needed. If we were doing many boxes with wrap around look it could pay.

As far as thickness, that's up to you , you want to drive the point down
to just a few thousandths from going through.

I do see this for small shops, that maybe do a run of wine boxes for a
company, or decorative boxes for whatever.
