| Registered User New Member | I have seen small boxes made with a butterfly splined miters. I normally build boxes with 1/2 inch sides and the butterfly spline bits that I have seen are 14 deg. The 14 deg. dovetails that I have seen seem like they would be too big for 1/2 inch stock. Does anyone have any recommendations. |

| Registered User New Member | Yes you are correct. I have a 1/4 inch 7.5 degree dovetail that I bought for that purpose but I was hoping to find a butterfly spline bit to match but I have not found one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
