Thank you so much!

[@dianetakis3712]

Thank you so much for clear and concise instructions on bit set up! I was trying to set up this bit and getting a little frustrated making adjustments. Your instructions helped me approach systematically. I am again a happy woodworker! 😊

[@thewoodsmithstore]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful! We try to explain things as clearly as we can without belaboring the point. It's not always easy to find that balance, so we appreciate the feedback!

How do you reconcile @ 6:24 and @ 6:51 ? "All one router bit." How did you make the groove on the bottom?

[@esteban62]

Great instruction for drawer construction. Would this lock joint work well for larger drawers using plywood rather than solid wood stock?
Thank you.

[@wesleyslemp4]

Does this setup work for all brands of bits? I own the CMT and Sommerfeld Tools router bits? Thank you for the video and demonstration! The presentation was excellent and entertaining!

Will I need the same setting if I have 1/2 inch sides and 3/4 inch front?

[@thewoodsmithstore]

Thanks for your question! Yes, it should be the same setup in with the width difference of your front panel. One thing we do always suggest, is to use test pieces and make cuts during setup and then you'll be assured you're getting the results you are looking for. Thanks for watching our video(s).

@@thewoodsmithstore Thanks much. I have already purchased the bit from you - still learning how to use it! :-)
Many thanks.

Great video, thanks! What would be the setup height and distance from fence if using 3/4" stock for the drawers?

[@Blankman1900]

I’m wondering the same! Hopefully someone answers!
