| This box joint bit from Amana Tools gets my award for inventiveness. It will cut small box joints in material up to 1/2" thick and from 3/4" to 11/2" in height with a single pass. The result is an easy-to-assemble, tight-fitting joint. The drawing above shows how it works. I cut one corner at a time by flipping one of the workpieces upside down and then clamping both workpieces to a backup block. Then with a single pass across the bit, both halves of the joint are cut simultaneously. After the cut, just flip one piece over and the joint will fit together like a hand in a glove. | | | | |
