well, those miter lock joints aren't long enough and don't allow a key to be placed in to stretch the canvas. As far as the Pdf file, the key has to be on the inside. It's the joint on a stretcher bar for canvas frames. It's an open mitered joint like the one a miter lock bit makes bit is approximately 2 inches deep and has a little extra room for a key to be hammered in if necessary.
It looks like i can do the cut with a large lock miter bit and then with a slot cutter or a straight bit. You have been so helpful... thank you
