I am looking for a bit to connect plywood together at a 90 degree angle like for a box. I do not want the edge of the plywood to show. I was looking at the miter bit but its to hard for my level right now. Any suggestion?

The lock miter bit will provide a more secure connection.
What project are you making.

Mike I am trying to make a big box to hold a kitchen plastic trash can. I already messed up a 1/2 sheet of plywood practicing and ready to try something else.

I also broke the fine adjustment on my week old PC890. Needless to say i am heading to the store tonight to exchange.

Hi rharveyva

May I suggest you not use the lock miter bit on the plywood but use the T & G router bit set..

rharveyva,

You could also just use plywood field panels, make a simple frame from solid stock, and plow a 1/4 inch groove to hold the plywood. Then you could soften the solid stock with a roundover or a chamfer bit, leaving no exposed plywood edges, or even end grain.

I hope the idea I'm trying to describe is clear.....
