I was mitering some bindings today and thought I would share a jig I have been using for a long time. It can in some cases replace the polished chisel method.
The kerf of a Freud Diablo is 0.062. Cut a channel in a piece of wood with it to appropriate depth and put a 45 degree cut on one end. 0.060 Ivoroid, tortoise etc will fit snugly or wood binding thinned appropriately.
Using the miter gauge on your disk sander it is easy to put a perfect 45 on binding strips. Go slow with Ivoroid, it can catch on fire!!
