Introduction

Your new dovetail jig will cut Full Through
Dovetails and three varieties of Half Blind
Dovetails (flush half blind, offset half blind
and rabbeted half blind). (Figure 1) It will
accommodate stock from 1/2" to 1
and up to 11" wide.
The following instructions begin by detail-
ing how to set up the jig for basic 1/2"
and 3/4" material to mill flush half-blind
dovetails and full through dovetails (Fig. 1).
Once you have mastered this technique, you
can add other joints to your repertoire such
as offset dovetails and rabbeted dovetails.
(See page 8 for details.)
Square and flat material is key to the success of
perfectly aligned joints. For any of the joints being
cut, always cut additional pieces the exact size of
those being used in your project to experiment with
the settings for joint accuracy
