A drawer lock router bit is a specialized woodworking tool designed to create strong, interlocking joints for drawer construction. This bit is a favorite among woodworkers who want a fast, reliable alternative to dovetail joints. Here's what makes it stand out:

🛠️ Key Features

  • Wedge-shaped profile: Cuts a locking rabbet-style joint that fits tightly when clamped, enhancing strength and alignment.
  • Dual-purpose cutting: A single bit can rout both the drawer front and side pieces, streamlining the process.
  • Precision and balance: Typically made with carbide tips and precision-balanced for smooth operation and clean cuts.
  • Versatile joint styles: Supports drawers with applied fronts, integrated fronts, or overlapping fronts to conceal metal sides.

⚠️ Usage Tips

  • Always use in a router table, not handheld routers, for safety and accuracy.
  • Adjust the bit height and fence position carefully to match your drawer dimensions.
  • Use backer boards and push blocks to prevent tear-out and ensure clean edges.

This bit's special design allows for precision cuts involving overlapping drawer fronts, to produce drawers faster, stronger, safer, and cleaner than ever before. Carbide tipped.

QUICK TIP: Run sides vertically against the fence, then set the fence back for the thickness of the material and run the back and front panels of the drawer horizontally. Reset the fence and cut all the slots for the drawer bottom. Detailed instructions at www.woodline.com.

Great bit

Great way to create draw joints without going ask the way to dovetails. Easy to set up and use.

Creates an extremely strong joint with ease

This bit creates an extremely strong joint for drawers very quickly. Additionally, set up is a breeze and, given the sequence of assembly, drawer dimensions (especially the width) are very controllable - extremely important when using "KV type" drawer slides.
