Overview

The Freud 2-Inch Drawer Lock Bit forms a strong joint between the sides and front of a drawer. The drawer fronts are formed horizontally, flat on table surface; the drawer sides are formed vertically against the fence of the table. These bits feature a kickback reducing design for safety and are computer-balanced to insure vibration-free operation at speeds that are a safe margin above the typical 22,000 RPMs of most routers. For use on CNC and other automatic routers as well as hand-held and table-mounted portable routers, this bit cuts all composition materials, plywood, hardwood, and soft wood. The Drawer Lock Router Bit has a 2-inch overall diameter and length, and a 1/2-inch shank diameter. These two bits are covered by Freud's limited lifetime warranty.

Review

Rated 5 out of 5 by L&CS Custom Woodworking from Drawer Lock Bit Setup I agree, this is a nice bit but clearly 1 of the more challenging to set up. Having worked with it a bit and doing research I found the following to help "dial it in" for a tight joint. As you perform your setup: 1. Start with a shallow cut and sneak up to the proper setting. 2. Bit Height: If the joint is loose, then the height of the router bit must be changed. If loose, raise the bit; if tight, lower the bit. 3. If the drawer front is proud on the sides, then move the fence closer to the bit. If the drawer front is not flush, or slightly proud to the side, then move the fence away from the bit. Once the setup is done, rout some setup blocks for future setups. However ANY deviation to the stock thickness from the set up blocks will effect the results and therefore some additional trial and error will have to occur each set up. Usage: 1. Rout the drawer fronts and backs first. Position drawer sides on the router table – this will result in a drawer construction where the force of opening the draw will be applied to a joint that won’t pull apart. Front and back of drawers should be placed flat on the router table. 2. Drawer sides should be held vertically, running along the fence. Use a push block with a backer board to eliminate tear-out. Hope this helps!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anatoli from Great bit, lacking in how to use it... I do love this bit...unfortunately I had to go to the Internet to figure out how to ensure the front and back are flush with the sides... It turned out to be quite simple...I'm surprised that Freud tools doesn't provide this simple additional instruction download
