Default Half Lap Joints

can you cut half lap joints on the router on 2x4's - i'm not refering to end cuts, but the center of a 30 inch 2x4

Hi Angus

Yes, but you should use a jig like the link below.

And use a flat botton bit or a stantard bit, lap joints are easy with the right jig and a stop block..

If this was my problem I would make a simple Jig that could be clamped to the material and use the router in the plunge mode. If you still require help submit more details as to what you want to do and I will see if I can help you
