I shared this on only one other forum for those that may have seen it, but I have some upcoming cabinets to build that will have side panels joined to the face frame by lock miter joints. I had recently bought the bit for my router table, and then picked up the Lock Miter Master to help with the set up (that's the jig for using this forum). This thing isn't exactly cheap considering what you get: less than 1 oz. of aluminum and earth magnets but it is a really precision made gizmo. Anyway, I needed to test this stuff out, so I set the bit up using the LMM carefully following the instructions. Bear in mind, I've never used one of these bits, and this was my first cut ever. I got a near perfect lock miter with the first pass. In the pick, if you look at the outside corner you see I need just a little tweaking, but I got this done in 15 minutes. So if you have some of these coming up, this thing may be worth considering...I'm sure I could have got it with trial and error but this was a heck of a lot easier. Anyway, the pic:
