SETTING UP AND CUTTING THE JOINT
(SINGLE-PASS HALF-BLIND/SLIDING
TAPERED DOVETAIL TEMPLATE)
NOTE: Before proceeding, consult the single-pass half-
blind instructions (or the labels on the unit) for proper
set-up and other guidance.
CUTTING TAILBOARD
1.
Mount proper size scrap in horizontal position.
2.
Position the tailboard (B) Fig. G11 vertically and
make sure it is spaced below the fingers with even
gaps, as described in the "Single-Pass Half-Blind
Dovetails."
3.
After the tailboard (B) is positioned and firmly up
against the template, place and hold spacer setup
block (C) against the tailboard. Then, slide left
edge guide (P) into place and lock it in flush with
the spacer.
4.
Slide horizontal scrap forward, flush with left edge
guide (P) and flush with back of vertical tailboard
(B) to help reduce tearout.
Before making any cuts, be sure you
read your router owner's manual for safe operating
instructions.
5.
Select proper bits and template guides. Make cut
as described in previous chapters.
CUTTING PINBOARD
1.
Remove tailboard (B).
2.
When positioning the pinboard (H) Fig. G12 with
fixed finger template, the rabbeted spacer board
is not needed but can be used if desired. Be sure
horizontal scrap is in position to the other side.
3.
When placing the pinboard (H) in horizontal mount,
slide the board forward until the rabbeted edge (Q)
is lined up with scribed half-blind alignment line
(R) and flush against the left edge.
NOTE: Remember that tail height (F) Fig. G13 can't be
greater than the rabbet's height (G).
Before making any cuts, be sure you
read your router owner's manual for safe operating
instructions.
4.
Make cut as described in previous chapters.
