Important! Read This About Depth of Cut
•
Depth of cut must be as specified for each of
the five cutters illustrated above.
•
Raising the cutter above its specified cutting
depth will result in loose joints and may dam-
age the jig, cutter and/or guidebush. A lower
setting will result in tighter joints that may
not fit together.
•
Small Depth of Cut adjustments will change
joint fit tightness. See 9-3 to 9-6 for why.
•
Half-blind PINS and TAILS are routed with
the same dovetail cutter and must be at the
same Depth of Cut.
•
Choose one of the five
1
⁄
2
" [12,7 mm] diam-
eter dovetail cutters shown above, and check
cutter selection on page 152.
•
Use only
7

" [11,1 mm] outside diameter
guidebushes.

Half-blind dovetails are laid out in the
H
HB TAILS mode with the finger assem-
bly slightly raised above a tailboard (e.g.,
drawer side).
