A question for the lock miter experts. How do you support the pieces that are vertical along the fence? Seems like the cabinet sides are cut that way? Thanks just having to do the back of a classic Bally but considering a whole cabinet and being done. Also what wood did you use?
Quoted from Gorgonzola:For a new cabinet I cut the side panels horizontally and the front/rear panels vertically,
This is an excellent suggestion for the whole cab or backbox. Thanks
After setting up and testing my lock miter I can confirm that for classic Bally cabs the lock miter that works for WPC will not work for replacing one panel. The Bally grooves are much larger and usually rot off needing the rabbet with 45 miter you see people using. After chiseling out the pressboard it fits really well but appears today’s 3/4” plywood is slightly thin for my cab
