And of course, it can't be one long piece… That will not allow for expansion and contraction… It will have to be several pieces, one on each board… So in other words, if it is a four board glue up, each side will have four pieces of angle iron routed in underneath.
Unfortunately, this forgiveness that allows sliding would be enough to at least break the invisible finished seam at the mitered corner.

Are you making a waterfall table/counter? So all the grain is in the same direction - to the end, over the edge and down. You will make a miter joint that will be glued. You may or may not put in biscuits or dominos for alignment and minimal strength. It would have the routed recess on the inside corner to accept the angle iron brace. All surfaces would be finished and then the angle iron would be installed. If the top expands (width-wise) so will the leg. There should be no opening of the miter joint, the way I see it.
