I've been following groeneaj's great WIP rocker and have been researching the making of Maloof joints. Must have a go:D
I found the following which goes into detail on forming the joint section in the seat (Didn't like the chip out on the first rebate routed:oo:)

I also found a number of sites selling "Maloof router bit sets" but there seems to be a variations in size which I can appreciate for different size joints.
In the YouTube video he states that the width of the rebate bit "must be 1 1/2" diam to match the 3/4" round over bit" - which is logical. What he doesnt state is the rebate width it will cut (which obviously depends on the width of the bearing) which is how you buy Carbitool bits.
Is that critical or will you just match it with the depth of the rebate in the leg?
Carbitool has a 1/2" rebate bit with a 1/2" bearing which obviously makes a 1 1/2" wide bit. I already have a 3/4" round over bit which is why I'm going for the 1 1/2" rebate bit.
