AstroDave Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have some questions about this joint... From my research this appears to be a rather finicky joint to setup. However it does seem, on the surface, to be a rather good way to ensure a nice strong miter joint. Is it worth the trouble? Is it significantly stronger? I found the Infinity set and am considering a purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have never used that tool or a locking miter joint personally. Whenever I cut miters and feel the need to strengthen or reinforce them, I will either cut a slot for a keyed miter with a slot cutter or use a flat ground blade to cut splines. I like both equally for strength. I prefer splines for looks and both are super easy to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradpotts Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have a white side locking miter. I love it. I bought the infinity jig. http://www.infinitytools.com/2-Pc-Lock-Miter-Master-Jig-Set-For-3_8-1-1_8-Stock-Setup/productinfo/00-LMM/ With the jig you can set it up in minutes. A couple reasons why I really like the locking miter. It doesn't slip when gluing. It glues up square. The problem that I have had with it is that the bit is pretty wide. I had to cut a hole in my router table so it would fit in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwacker Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have the Amana 61290 it does a fair job but could stand to be a little larger to get a little better cut. I wouldn't bother with a small bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
