Lock Mitre Router Bits 

This is the best demonstration of how to set up the lock bit I’ve found. Thanks!

My first attempt at using a lock miter was predictably a disaster. This explained just what I needed to know in a straightforward and enjoyable way. Thanks!

You told us all as it is. No confusion, straight understandable language. Best set up I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Awesome job! Thank you! I had been practicing and failing each time before I saw this.

I’ve heard enough negative comments on how to set this cutter and obviously this video is the one I needed to see thanks for sharing

Very well explained. The detail is great! Thank you.

Thank you. I’ve had one for a while and not known what to do with it lol. This helped a lot.

Very helpful thank you Kenny for take the time to shear with us.

One of the best training videos. Thank you.

Hello and good day, I have watched your video and explanation for the 45° milling cutter several times! First of all > your explanation is great! There are hundreds of videos on how to set up this cutter - almost all of them have one thing in common: you have to study mathematics to understand it! Your explanation, on the other hand, is 1a - you immediately understand how to adjust the milling cutter on the machine and it works almost on the first try - thank you very much!

Great video, right to the point and easy to understand & remember. Thank you for your wonderful help!

The best video I have seen on setting up for a lock miter bit. I think I might even try to do one now. Thanks

Using a set up block made for your specific lock miter bit makes it so much easier. That being said this is a great help to someone who doesn’t have a setup block.

This is truly a great Lesson!! Thank you. The part that I found most helpful was how to know if you need to raise or lower the bit. I followed your instructions and got it setup after two hours. I don’t have a router lift on my table so that made it bit of a slow process. I’ll continue tomorrow and try to build a fireplace mantle. Basically a long box meant to look like one piece.

Good morning, Kenny. Thanks for this video, which I really need. ❤️ Barbara

Thanks Kenny Always great to get a great description in plain English for a setup like this. Keep up the great videos as always.

The only video I found that makes sense. Thank you

This is the best video ever on setting up a lock miter bit. A real master class. Very helpful. Thanks!

A very interesting and informative video, i didn't realise that it takes all this work to do this particular joint. Thanks for the explanation. Barry (ENG)

Great job! The support piece that you taped to run through as support was awesome as well!! Great job.

Wow 😮. Just wow ! Understood the first time . I have a hand router . Just need to apply the principles. Thank you thank

Great video Kenny! I purchased one of these a couple of years ago and have never used it. I've watched a couple of other videos but yours is far more informative than others. I like the method of double-taping the sacrificial board on the top to protect that sharp 45 degree angle. Thanks for this video, Kenny! I'll definitely refer to this when I set mine up.

Wow. You made it all put together in my head. I had a vague notion of setup but now that's pretty much embedded in my head. I bought a couple of the bits and been hesitant to use them. Now I can figure out what to make first with them. Thank you. Subscribed

Very helpful!!! My bit sat on the shelf for almost a year before I tried it out, you gave me the confidence to set it up and prep for the fireplace mantel/surround I bought it for.

Thank you very much indeed. It's the best explanation I've found on internet. Good job.

Thank you. I almost gave up on my lock miters. Now I have another method to try.

The best video yet for setting up a lock miter joint

Best set up video for the lock miter that I looked at. Thanks!

Very well done Kenny. Something I’ll reference often.

Kerry, Excellent demonstration. I learned a lot. Keep it going. Thanks

thanks for the info, I've just ordered one of these bits and now I know how to set it up. Thanks again, great vid.

First timer and I’m subbed- I’ve learned more from this vid than you could possibly imagine, complete masterclass! Thanks

Excellent tutorial!! Thank you.

Fantastic video, the best there is on totally demystifying this awesome bit! Thanks so much!

Thank you! You're a great teacher!

I recently bought one since they were on sale and was wondering how to go about it. Great video bud!!!

great video. I am new to woodworking and just bought a locking miter router bit for a project that I want to build and need to put a bottom in the bottom of a rectangular box. A miter joint is perfect because you will not see the slot that I cut slide the board in. Problem a regular miter is so hard to clamp and glue, plus this locking miter will be much stronger. Just used your video to foul around with some scrape wood. Came pretty close on first try just like in your video. Best video on the web on this subject!!!

Ich glaube das ich nach deiner großartigen Erklärung jetzt diesen Fräser endlich benutzen kann. Danke!

Just bought one of these. Best video I have seen. Just realize my homemade table may have to be updated at some point. Thanks, great tips and video.

Thanks a million! Just about to pull the trigger on a locking bit. Now I have an idea how to!

You're a very good explainer and instructor, don't you know that? Very clear and comprehensive!!!

thanks for the great video I had bought the bit 2 years ago and and hadnt figured it out until this video

Great video of the setting up of the lock miter bit!

Wow - Man did I learn something here. Thank you so much for this incredible video - Learning from a pro is the only way to go.

Best video I've seen on this set up very informative and clear on how to do it right I would like to thank you for taking the time to show how its done .

Excellent video, thank you. Clear camera angles, clear instruction and complete.

hey kenny good video, i have had that bit for years, and never used it because of the set up. now i will have to try again, thanks to your vid, keep up the good work. always enjoy your vids......

Thank you!! I bought one of those bits a few years ago, never used it and lost the instructions.

Best explanation of how to set up a lock miter bit.

A really exceptional video which demonstrates a complicated set-up, in an easy to understand manner. Your guidance and tips are really well presented. Can’t wait to get out to my workshop and give it a go!

Great video. Well presented. Thanks Kenny

Excellent demonstration. I truly learned a lot, now i can use my LMRB...Tahks!! my like 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is the best lock mitre bit set up video i've seen, wish I watched this one first before I did 30 failed test pieces following other videos, got a decent joint after 3 tests with this video. Biggest problem I have is the fine height adjustment , one thou increments would be awesome

I agree that this is the best setup video around . you're awesome

I just now found this most helpful, insightful tutorial. Your class has helped me with a number of questions I had, even an insight I was only kicking around in my head. Not only am I now not hesitant to order a lock miter jig, but I am looking forward to applying what I have learned. This is really good! I subscribed and rang the bell.

I watched with great interest while you made perfect 45 lock miter without one of those expensive coping sleds. I want to thank you greatly I appreciate it very much. this old dog learned a new trick tonight. Thanks, much

Love your tutorial. I’ve always been fascinated with this but I have no clue how to do it. Will try it this tutorial. Thank you.

Excellent, well done and there are many that promote using one type of template or another to set these joints up. But, your approach to getting it PERFECT is beyond what one can accomplish with templates. Thank you!

Seeing the plastic protection sheet on the Wixey readout gladdened my heart. I do that too for all electronic displays, and thought I was the only weirdo that did that. BTW best lock miter setup video ever.

You did a Awesome job of explaining how to set this router up. You went slow and explained everything in detail. Thanks so much.

I'm trying to deside if a purchase would be to my advantage, and your guide is well received. Thank You!

You answered my question pretty much out of the gate which was, which way to move the bit, up or down, during the initial setup to get the pieces to the same height. Thanks for the great explanation!

Kenny, I just got a set of lock miter bits, and after viewing a video from the dealer, it still left questions. Your video is the BEST of the best. It explains the setup in full detail and pretty much leaves you with a fool proof setup and cut. Thanks for your well informed video; keep 'em coming.

WOW, best explanation I've seen No toys needed just raw his is how its done. These are probably one of the most confusing bits to set up and I'm going to bet a lot of people give up on them. But its such a solid joint with lots of glue surface to hold a joint and strong.

I am glad o found this before i gonna use it. I really do appreciate the way you explain the safety issues from a router. Coming weeks i will use this video as set up for my router. I did think it would impossible for doing long pieces but will found out. 240 cm joint😊

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort in this exceptional video tutorial on how to properly set up a lock mitre router bit. Your explanations and demonstrations are so clear that if I have any beginner's skill at all I should be able to (by trial and error) be able to use your techniques in my construction of a cabinet for a clock I'm contemplating. Your are a real craftsman and instructor.

I'm trying to build my own speaker cabinets, using lock mitre corners. Really glad to find this video. I think I might even be able to do it right. GJ explaining it to a noob!

Thank you for the excellent tutorial!

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing.

I’ve watched many clips on all sorts of working techniques, however none and repeat none have so clear and straight forward to understand. Nothing is left out and nothing is added of little value. Absolute perfection. Thank you. I’m not minutes away from following your instructions to the letter for the very first use of both my new router table, router and mitre bit. I have confidence its going to be good. Cheers 😊

This is just great video, especially double sided tape idea. I fought the inconsistent edge cut in my prior project, going to the shop right now...

Just fantastic Kenny. I agree with the others, best set up video by far. Centering the bit on the stock for height and ensuring the bit crosses the stock at the apex of the 90 degree point for depth gives set up clear focus. Without that, hitting the target accidentally with trial and error is frustrating and no learning for the next time really happens. Sounds like a lot of us purchased the bit with the dream of the perfect miter and easy glue up, but put it back on the shelf after seeing those many other, less than clear, set up videos. Thank you!!

Most accurate method I have found yet. Thank you!! The Easy Set guage I bought for my Freud bit is completely useless.

Thank you very much. Excellent instructional video.

Well done mate. You're a great teacher.

I watch this as a another example of some one telling the best way to make a lock mitre cut,and this has to be the best I have seen and it does work out to give you a trouble free joint.well done

Nice Job! Incredibly thorough and appreciate the fact that you absolutely took your time and explained all processes. You gained a fellow woodworking subscriber. Thx again!

This takes the mystery out of it. Setting those up has been hit or miss for me. Thanks.

Thank You so much.... We needed this explanation.

Thanks for the tutorial! Best video I've seen on how to set up the lock miter. I have one but just never got around to using it due to uncertainties about setting it up.

Good description I have this cutter but not used it yet, now I can use it without any surprises thanks

18:48 Hahaha thanks for the giggles and thank you for teaching me how to use this bit I bought soooo many years ago. I’m going to try it out tonight on my brand new router/table.

Brilliant and clear explanation & demonstration. Particularly the advice about using wide stock, then ripping to size. This brought back forgotten words of my teacher 60 years ago - "Leave it as long as you can, for as long as you can". Thank you.

Excellent explanation. I have just bought myself a Lock mitre router bit and now I know how to set it up. I am about to make a new work bench with lots of drawers, so this will come in handy.

Sound Info, I bought a set of these bits about a year ago and struggled with setup. Now I'm ready to go in the shop and give it a Try !

Purely by coincidence this video popped up in my recommendations on the day I bought a lock mitre bit in a tool sale. I had been looking at it trying to work out the set up, so this video has just saved me some hours of trial and error. So Kenny, thanks very much for a terrific explanation of how to set it up

I just purchase a lock miter bit for a project I am working on. This video was awesome!!! Thank you for sharing, it added so much clarity on how to set this up.

Thankyou so much for this. It answered several questions I had.

By far, the best explanation of how to use this bit! I now have the nerve to try mine 🙂

Thank you ,sir for sharing this video , it is very informative, I have been trying to set my bit up , but not close enough . This video will help me tremendously, Thanks again

Well done! Out of the many, many videos available on the net.. this was by far the best illustrated lesson I have found. As an Old Guy, I want to spend less time setting up, and more time making wooden treasure. Your video will now allow me to do that. Thank you!

Very well explained. Thank you!

Thank you, very useful instructions

So thankful for your video I purchased one of these bits a couple years ago Used trial-and-error to set it up went crazy and threw it back in the drawer Thanks again I feel like I can now use it

Excellent explanations. Congrat and thanks!

Excellent video on the bit. I bought the bit and screwed up every piece I tested. I'm saving this video and I know I'll get it right this time. Thanks

Brilliant video. Thanks so much.

Probably the best vdo. Merci from Belgium

Followed your instruction and after some practice and a few cock ups have now successfully made my first drawer. Thanks for the easy to understand tutorial.

Excellent tutorial!! Very helpful.
