Your router base must accept a guide
bushing with a 7/16” outside diameter
and an inside diameter large enough to
accept a 1/4” shank dovetail bit.
Securely mount the guide bushing to
your router
.
Refer to your router’s operating manual for
further instructions.
Choose a 1/2” dovetail router bit with a 1/4"
shank. Ensure that the router is unplugged
and securely mount the bit in the router
collet.
Set the router bit to extended 23/32”
below the base plate of the router.
Before cutting tails and pins in a finish
piece, it is important to test your
adjustments with sample pieces to judge the
quality of the joint. It may be necessary to
make additional adjustments to the dovetail
jig to improve the fit. With the jig completely
adjusted, you should be ready to test it out.
Review all safety rules if you are unsure
abut the risks associated with operating a
router in conjunction with this jig.

1.
Start with joint 1 that you set up in

stops. The back pieces are positioned
horizontally on top of the jig. The mating
side pieces are positioned vertically in the
front of the jig. The end of the pieces must
be flush with the top face of the back piece.
