Today I purchased this bit:
http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=19531&site=ROCKLER&filter=wedge%20tongue
I spent a couple of hours and all of my scrap wood and never did get a joint that I thought was good. I found it really hard to get the fence adjusted for the proper depth of cut. I think I did OK on height since I have a router lift on my table.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this darn thing set up? I aligned the fence so that the smallest diameter of the bit was in line with both sides of the fence. When I made the cuts, there was still about a .020 gap at the surface of the joint. If I adjusted the fence for a deeper cut, then I was getting 'snipe'. I tried shimming the outfeed fence but that didn't prove effective either.
Can anyone help? If not, I may be testin Rockler on their "100% satisfaction guarentee". I thought this was a good idea for gluing up panels but I'm tired and frustrated so far.
