I hadn't thought about doing it with a straight cutter for some reason :/ . I'll give it some thought... Could be workable with 45degree block/arris on the router base.

Yes I've cut mitres. I have a 45 degree mitre router cutter for this one. I don't think there is a way to router the groove for the spline? Or at least I can't see it. I'll look in to the dowl jigs . thank you!

Thanks. I like the look of these joints but they would scare the hell out of me on ply boards of this size. This joint is extremely weak and brittle because of the grain fibre direction in these types of boards and you only get one chance. No dry run is possible. They work much better on solid...

I am making a feature of the edge. It won't be sharp. I'll either break/round the edges, much the same as I do on the square edges, so that when it goes together you get a neat black edge with a bit a ply showing along the mitre. I've seen this done and it looks really good if done well. I...

I have a router. I also have a lamelo groove cutter with a guide wheel that could be used for biscuits or your spline idea. I'm just not sure how I would route at that angle along the mitre.

I'm making an island unit that has 30mm birch ply formica laminated worktop on top of a 600 and an 800 base unit. The worktop runs up one side and joins on to the top with a mitre along the full width. So my biscuit jointer packet up while doing the masons mitre on the L-shape along the wall...
