Miters with the DD40 are just too easy. Especially nice for clamping.

Looks good. The miters look really crisp. Did you cut them with a table saw or track saw or other?
What about the dadoes? stacked table saw blade or router or other?

Miters were cut on the Sliding Table Saw. The Dados were Cut with a Fein 3 1/4 HP Router and edge guide. A large router with Edge guide is very efficient for this task.

jalvis, have you done much more dowelling of mitres since this post? Has anyone dowelled long edge mitres, in 18/19mm material? I'm going to do a test piece, and kill two birds with the one stone - cutting mitres with my MT55 and dowelling with DD40.

I've been building bee hives for the last couple of weeks with the MT55 and DD40. I'm using the wood from an old sassafras tree that blew down in the yard. My material thickness ranges anywhere from 17-20mm as it was milled with a chainsaw. The sides of the supers are 146mm long and I'm using four 5x30mm dowels per side. I'm mitering the corners at 45 degrees so I don't have any exposed end grain. The cutting and doweling have gone quite well. The biggest challenge was joining the sides together as the dowels fit quite snugly and you don't have anything to push against at the corner. I ended up making a simple jig from three pieces of wood that allow me to push them together using two quick clamps. The nice thing about the dowels is that once they are home you can release the clamps and move on to the next corner.

Thanks for your input Weasel. Maybe the drill bits that are .1mm oversize would be handy for long edge mitres?
