Your dovetail template has been designed for cut-
ting flush, offset, or rabbeted joints with speed and
accuracy. See Figures 2, 3, & 4. Since these joints
are both strong and neat, they are commonly used
when making drawers and boxes.
Read atl instructions carefully, and follow closely
while making set ups and adjustments. 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,
TOOLS NEEDED
In addition to your dovetail template and guide
bushing, you will also need a Craftsman Rouler and
a dovetail cutter. Use dovetail cutter Catalog
Number 26319 for making 1/4 inch dovetail joints
