A great way to join up many multi-sided projects (planters, columns, barrels, etc). This joint requires routing a notch in only one edge of each stave (side). Notching also improves ease of assembly and total glue area. The multi-side router bits are designed for use in a router table with a fence guide.
How to use: On six and eight sided objects, the exterior side is cut face up on the router table. Twelve and sixteen sided objects are cut face down on the router table. Either flush or ribbed (outside corner protruding) construction is possible. Ribbed construction is recommended with 12 and 16 sided objects because the interior leg of the notch will be very small when made flush. The outside corners on ribbed construction can be cut or sanded down for a flush appearance if desired. For a flush appearance, the outside leg of the notch (closest to the exterior) should be the same length as the stock thickness . Move notch towards exterior side (raise the bit) to increase the the rib size (amount of outside corner protruding). Move notch away from away from exterior side (lower the bit) to decrease amount of the rib. Note: bit adjustment is reversed on twelve and sixteen sided objects since these staves are cut face down.
