Freud99-239: 1-1/4" (Dia.) Drawer Lock Bit with 1/2" Shank

If you are a wood worker who will constantly reach for this bit for your projects, and can set up complicated bits in a few minutes, I say go for it.But if you are like me, who is not a professional woodworker, I say explore other options for your joinery.There was no instructions with this bit, so Google it.It took me forever to set it up. I recommend buying bits that come with set up blocks, or make your own once you figure out how it works.On the box it said the total height of cut was 13/64. I think that is wrong. The preferred thickness of your work piece should be 1/2" or above. You can't use it for thinner woods.At the beginning the cutting edges of the bit felt very sharp. after an hour of set up, it didn't feel as sharp and it left burn marks on the wood.You can get your side pieces in one pass, but you need several passes for the front piece, so it is time consuming.I was able to get the joints to line up perfectly, but the two pieces don't really lock like rabbet joint. (So why call it lock bit?!)Bottom line: if you are a woodworker who needs this bit all the time, go for it. You can make clean joints with this bit and some nail and glue. If you are buying this for just a small project, I say explore other options.

Excellent piece of equipment, have used it a number of times, up to my expectations

Handy unit for quick build

This is a very handy little bit . It will be really useful making corner joints much stronger . I used it to make some replacement drawer slide rails out of oak . It makes a very smooth, clean cut . I'm impressed . Glad I got it .

Me gustaría que describan un proceso cómo usar y recomendaciones
