Grooving or rabbeting for box bottoms

One more LV bit user. Works well for me.

I always cut my dovetails by hand. Mostly, I use the technique of a flat-sided half pin on the bottom of the box. This allows you to make a through-cut groove without worrying as much about the slanted tails. No stop cuts or gluing in splines.
