Set Vertical and Horizontal Depth of Lock Miter Bits?

Set Vertical and Horizontal Depth of Lock Miter Bits?

How do you set the vertical and horizontal depth of lock miter bits using a router table?

Rob Johnstone: Just like porcupines making love … very carefully! (Apparently the wisecrack problem is not fully under control.) I’m not sure what problem you are running into with this bit system, but I can offer two important ideas. First, as with any set-up operation, you need to test the set up on scrap stock.

Second, with this system, it is imperative that the scrap be exactly (and I mean exactly!) the same thickness of the stock you will use on your woodworking project. If it is off by the thickness of a gnat’s whisker, you will run into trouble.
