ButterFly Bits
How to use and make butterfly splines on your the router table.
Note** make the spline 1 1/2" to 2" tall, then cut off the scap to get the
1 3/16" tall spline,you need the sq.edge at the top of the spline to have something to hold on to when you make it and to ride against the fence.
I should NOTE****
You can use a 1/2" standard 14deg. dovetail bit but the setup is a hard one and the splines will snap because the center point of the spline is only 3/8" wide.
You can also use the ButteryFly/Dovetail bits on picture frames (on a 45deg. setup) but you will need to make a jig like the one Bob & Rick used .
That's to say a Sandwich type jig, 2 parts cut on 45deg. with the picture frame in the center, then with a clmp to hold them as one and then pass it over the dovetail bit.
