I was debating whether or not to invest $40 for a drawer locking router

bit.
I decided to take the plunge and see if it really does do a good job, so I
ordered on from Infinity Tools on Thursday. It was in the mailbox on
Saturday. FWIW, Infinity gives a $3 discount for web orders.

The instructions are simple on how to do the setup. For some reason

though,
it took a few tries for me to get the fence set properly to do drawer

sides.
I finally took a break, looked at the picture and DUH, it was really that
simple.

I cut 20 pieces of wood. Four to house the drawers, then 8 deep and 8
shallow for the two sizes of drawers I'm going to make. I did all of the
fronts and back, then the two sized of the cabinet. Moved the fence and

did
the rest of them. It was quick and easy. Best part though, was assembly.
The drawers lined up square. It is, by far, the most accurate setup for
drawers I've ever done.

Only thing I'd do different is to leave the shallow drawer parts wider to
make it easier to push through against the fence. Rip them to size later.
Though called a drawer locking bit, it can be used most any time you want

to
join wood at right angles.

Those on the cutting edge bleed a lot.
