APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
See Figure 2.
•
Cutting Flush Joints
•
Cutting Offset Joints
•
Cutting Rabbeted Joints
Your router dovetail template kit has been designed for
cutting flush, offset, or rabbeted joints with speed and ac-
curacy. Since these joints are both strong and neat, they
are commonly used when making drawers and boxes.
Read all instructions carefully, and follow closely while
making set ups and adjustments.

NOTE: Once all adjustments
have been properly made,
make a trial cut with scrap pieces of the same wood used
for the finished work.
This step allows you to check your adjustments.
It also
makes you aware of the characteristics
of the particular
wood being used.

WARNING:
For safe operation and proper
control, your router dovetail template kit must be
mounted to a workbench
or table.
If desired, it can be clamped to a workbench
with "C"
clamps, or it can be mounted onto a 3/4 in. piece of ply-
wood for mobility.
•
Clamp the dovetail base to a workbench or table
with "C" clamps. It can then be easily removed upon
completion for easy storage or changing job sites.

A second, more preferred, method would be to mount
your dovetail base onto a piece of 3/4 in. plywood
approximately
six inches wide and twenty-four
inches
long. Position front of base flush with the front and
centered with the ends of the board, then insert four
flat head wood screws through holes in the base and
secure firmly into plywood. The dovetail base (with
wooden base) may then be clamped securely to
workbench or table with "C" clamps or other holding
apparatus. Here again, it can be easily removed upon
completion for easy storage or changing job sites.
