ernieb home \| projects \| blog 17 posts in 461 days 118 days ago	i’m planning on making some boxes out of maple and cherry. my tablesaw is a pain to adjust in and out of 45 degrees so i have been experimenting with a rabet joint. i am using 5/8 thick stock and rabet out enough so that 1/4’’ remains. my question is that by using titebond 3 or an equal , in your opinion would glue alone be strong enough to last. i am also using keys such as would be used in a keyed miter joint for decoration and strength. they do look different, but i like the looks. thanks to all -- ernieb westerlo, ny
