 Drawer lock with Baltic birch
Has anyone had success using a drawer lock bit on half inch Baltic birch? It does fine going with the grain, but creates a lot of tear out going cross grain. By cross grain I mean in relation to the top veneer. I tried scoring, using painters tape, wetting the plywood and multiple shallow cuts. The bit is of good quality and new. I tried three different bits. All the bits do well in solid wood.
Thank in advance,
