Figure 13. Model G0611X stock size limits.
The first consideration when preparing your stock
is to determine the width (height of drawer). The
dovetail machine includes a 4-sided template with
the following sizes: 1", 1
1
⁄
2
", 2", and 2
1
⁄
2
".
To achieve perfect dovetail spacing from edge-
to-edge, the stock width should be a multiple of
the template size. For example, when using a 1

template, the stock width should divisible by 1
1
⁄
2
".
Refer to
Figure 14 for more examples.

available template sizes.
Note: If you do not have control over the stock
width, you can still use the machine, but the half-
pins on each edge will not be the same size.
Dado Placement
The dado placement for a drawer bottom is dic-
tated by the size of template you use. In order
for the dado to be hidden when the dovetail
joint is assembled, it must run through a socket.
Figure 15 illustrates this concept.

Stock Preparation
Stock preparation is one of the most important
steps for cutting dovetails. Stock must be properly
squared up or the dovetails will not fit in the sock-
ets tightly or evenly. With proper planning and
preparation, you can achieve perfect results.
Stock Size
When selecting your stock, make sure that the
stock size is within the minimum and maximum
dimensions that this machine is capable of pro-
cessing (see
Figure 13).
