Lets talk joints
With increasing wood prices keeping costs down is key IMHO. Question 1:
What are the advantages of using a glue joint bit as opposed to straight cutting edges for panel glue ups. Question 2: Do the advantages truly offset the additional costs (due to more waste per joint and tooling costs) or improve panel rejection rate. And last as usual, Might there be a better way? |

I get very good results from straight edges. Never saw the need for profiled edges -- just seems like additional trouble to set up. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek-at-milmac-dot-com) Get a copy of my NEW AND IMPROVED TrollFilter for NewsProxy/Nfilter by sending email to autoresponder at filterinfo-at-milmac-dot-com You must use your REAL email address to get a response. |

Yes, and if you do raised panels, you get interesting results at the glue joints if you use a glue joint bit. |
