Failure to do so could result in accidental starting
of the router causing damage to the work surface
or possible serious personal injury.

• Attach guide bushing with 7/16 in. pilot diameter to
router base (5/16 in. pilot diameter for 1/4 in. joints).
Insert the dovetail cutter bit through the guide bush-
ing and into chuck collet at least 3/4 in., then tighten
securely. See "Installing template guide bushing and
cutter", Page 7.
• Adjust the base on the router until the cutter extends

STOP
Fig. 10
Loosen the stop screws and place the 3 way stop on
top of the dovetail base and the 2 way stop on the
side of the dovetail base in their proper position. See
Figures 8 and 10. Retighten stop screws securely.
Mark the boards for the drawer or box on the inside with
identifying letters near the bottom edge. See Figure 11.
NOTE: The reverse side of the board will be the out-
side of the finished drawer or box. The outside of the
boards are always clamped towards the dovetail base
and all pieces are routed in an "inside-out"
position.
The boards are then reversed to assemble.
NOTE: The material for front (B) and back (D) should
be the same size and should be cut to fit the open-
ing neatly. The side pieces (A and C) should also be
the same size. See the chart on page 8 for computing
proper sizes and recommended
material thicknesses.
