I’m considering making some beginner-level drawers (well, easier than dovetails, anyway). I’m planning to use a locking drawer router bit to join sides to front and back. I need to decide if one form factor or the other would have advantages.
Whiteside and Rockler, among others, have stubbier ones — 1” overall width.
Freud and Infinity et al have bits with 2” overall width.
I can’t see any advantage with the 2” width, except maybe more mass and momentum leading to a smoother cut?
If you work with this joint, do you have a preference?
