Using the Finger Joint Bit

Finger Joint bits were designed to securely join boards end to end, but they can do so much more than that!
Rockler and Infinity Tools both sent me their version of this bit to make this video, so many thanks to them.

Pretty interesting! Loved the woodturning application

Could this finger-joining method be used to make longer stock from short scrap bits, or will the board be much weaker than a board in one piece? In that case, it would also be possible to quickly saw off knots in panels to make finger-joined boards free of knots.

Any opinions on how this might work with plywood?

Hi mister Ralph Bagnall thanks for the video. Do you have to cut the last teeth of each piece after you cut it with the fixed bit? I have a fix on and I'm not able to set it up on order to make the 2 pieces to fit only by flipping one of the 2. Am I doing something wrong?

As soon as I heard the words " five thirty seconds" - I knew I was in the wrong century! Its 2024 and way past time to use metric

Well, I guess it was a video. Your video was terrible from the standpoint that you didn't give any instruction on how to set up and use the bit. Finger joint bits are one of the most difficult bits to set up and nobody is having a good discussion about how to properly set it up that you're not constantly having to change height for one side of the other of the cut
