With increasing wood prices keeping costs down is key IMHO. Question 1:
What are the advantages of using a glue joint bit as opposed to
straight cutting edges for panel glue ups. Question 2: Do the
advantages truly offset the additional costs (due to more waste per
joint and tooling costs) or improve panel rejection rate. And last as
usual, Might there be a better way?
Good point Mark, never considered those internal angles getting exposed
with sanding down.

Yes, and if you do raised panels, you get interesting results at the glue
joints if you use a glue joint bit.

I get very good results from straight edges. Never saw the need for profiled
edges -- just seems like additional trouble to set up.
