I certainly don't want to beat a dead horse, and I did do a search on the topic. The question that I have wasn't answered soooo....
Has anyone tried to use the 45 degree locking router bit on a handheld router? I don't want to say free hand, I would use a guide but running their material through not using a table mounted router.
I am in the planning stages of building some cubbies for my daughters playroom, and I am going back and forth between birch ply and MDF. I know though each have their pluses and minus. Here is the argument I am having with myself....
Birch ply, worked w/it before...but the exposed ends, there are going to be alot of them, not sure if I want to deal with that.
MDF, never worked with it before, I don't mind the dust (will wear a mask and cut outside) it's just fastening the 45's.
This locking bit seems like a good solution for the MDF, running through my table is going to be difficult (not impossible, just don't have the time to set up the supports) because I am looking at 8' board lengths.
Any thoughts ?
