Review on Bosch 84512M Carbide Tipped Drawer by James Mayfield

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A quality bit that is a compromise between dovetail and tongue and groove. Makes assembly easier!

I just received this attachment and quickly made three drawers out of vinyl coated drawer stock. ) is configured correctly. The bit comes without instructions. Luckily, all you have to do is search the internet for "drawer lock instructions," and there are plenty of printed and video guides available. A quick look at the instructions and it was clear how to set the bit. A pass over scrap metal to check alignment, followed by a small (hundredths of an inch) bit height adjustment and the results were excellent. This bit is a good compromise between a gorgeous dovetail joint and a boring tongue and groove joint. The locking profile ensures perfect alignment of the sides.

Pros
  • Micro-grain carbide tips for superior wear resistance and long life
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
