Router joinery: Glue Joint Bit
Print This Article
When needing to glue up several boards into a single piece there are a host of available methods to join the boards. Such as butt joint, biscuits, pocket holes screws, and glue joint.
The glue joint router bit will with one setup cut the glue joint for both sides of the joint. No need to cut one side and then adjust the bit’s height to cut the other and risk messing up the cut.
Adjust the bit for the height of the stock you are going to glue up.
Mark all of the board’s top side with chalk. I like to use good old white chalk easiest to get off of the material without leaving any permanent marking. Also, mark the boards in the order that they are going to be joined together.
Run the first board’s side face up through the router bit. Take the adjoining board and run it face down through the router bit. Take the two boards face up and they will slide together and create a nice tight joint.
The glue joint bit’s profile produces a lot of gluing surface. Once the glue is dried it produces a strong bond.
