IS THE TIMBERLOCK AVAILABLE WITH THE 1/4'' INCH SHANK?
IS THE TIMBERLOCK AVAILABLE WITH THE 1/4'' INCH SHANK?
Unfortunately,NO. Due to the size and weight of the cutting head, the 1/4 inch shank is not strong enough to support it during operation. It will bend and bow over time from the forces subjected to it, making it dangerous to use. We take safety seriously and only supply the best. Find More FAQs at the Bottom of the Page. 👇

|---|---|---|
| 1/2" Cutter | 3/8" | 1/2" |
| 3/4" Cutter | 1/2" | 3/4" |
| 1" Cutter | 3/4" | 1" |
Each cutter is made for a specific wood thickness range. One router bit creates both A and B parts of the joint, so only one cutter is needed for a complete joint. Simple and effective!

VERY CONVENIENT AND EASY TO USE
If you are looking for a way of building strong mitered cases, you should definetly try the Timberlock. I’m more a cabinetmaker than a furniture maker. For me the only way to make a drawer is the lock miter. It’s strong and attractive and after you finish the one router table setup, it’s quite fast to make. The lock miter has lots of glue surface and plenty of resistance to forward and backward motion. Maybe next time it comes time to making a drawer, give the lock miter a try

How do I set up the TIMBERLOCK™ correctly?
Setting up the TIMBERLOCK™ correctly is crucial for achieving the best results. It generally involves aligning the centerlines of the bit and stock perfectly, and setting the fence back from the outer edge of the bit by exactly the thickness of your stock.
However, the most accurate and safest way to set up TIMBERLOCK™ is to follow our instructions that come with the bit when you purchase it, you will get them on your e-mail adress. These instructions will provide detailed steps tailored to the specific design of the bit, ensuring that you can achieve the best possible results. Always refer to these instructions when setting up and using the bit.
Can I use the TIMBERLOCK™ on different types of wood?
Can I use the TIMBERLOCK™ on different types of wood?
Yes, the TIMBERLOCK™ can be used on different types of wood. However, the hardness and grain of the wood can affect the ease of cutting and the quality of the joint.
It is designed to work on softwood and hardwood.
How do I prevent tear-out when using the TIMBERLOCK™?
How do I prevent tear-out when using the TIMBERLOCK™?
To prevent tear-out, ensure that the wood is firmly secured and that you are using the correct feed rate. Sharp bits and correct setup can also help to minimize tear-out.
How do I ensure a tight joint when using the TIMBERLOCK™?
How do I ensure a tight joint when using the TIMBERLOCK™?
For the parts to fit together seamlessly, the bit must create a sharp mitered corner. The distance from the bit's outermost perimeter to the fence must be equal to the thickness of your stock.
How do I maintain the TIMBERLOCK™ to prolong its life?
How do I maintain the TIMBERLOCK™ to prolong its life?
Regular cleaning and inspection can help to maintain the bit. Remove any resin build-up and check for signs of wear or damage. If the bit becomes dull, it can be sharpened or replaced.
Can the TIMBERLOCK™ be used to create joints at angles other than 90 degrees?
Can the TIMBERLOCK™ be used to create joints at angles other than 90 degrees?
If you're looking to join two boards in a straight line (180°), you could use the bit to create a joint that is similar to a tongue and groove joint.
This would involve running one piece of wood vertically through the router table with the bit cutting the 'tongue' on the end grain, and the other piece of wood would be run horizontally through the router table to cut the 'groove' along the grain. When these two pieces are fitted together, they would form a straight line.
