Constructed from heavy gauge steel the body of this jig provides a strong, stable base that can either be clamped or screwed to your workbench. Requiring little assembly, and the minimum amount of setting up you can be producing professional quality joints in minutes. Two strong lever action clamps operate on a cam lock action to quickly and rigidly grip both the horizontal and vertical workpieces. Each clamp bar features a coarse sandpaper strip on the underside to enhance the grip and ensure that the stock does not move during routing.
Included with 2 interchangeable templates, one will produce half-blind dovetails and the other will create through dovetails and finger joints. Each template is precision CNC machined from thick aluminium for a stable platform that will not bend or flex during use. Ergonomically designed, this jig features a built in stabilising bar for you to rest your router on during use, taking the strain out of balancing your heavy router on the template.
For standard through dovetails, the thickness of the tail stock should be between 8mm to 25mm, and for the pin stock between 8mm and 19mm. For standard half-blind dovetails, stock should be between 12.7mm and 28mm in thickness. When routing standard box joints stock should be between 8mm and 28mm in thickness. The wide body of the jig will accept boards of up to 300mm in width.
This dovetail jig comes with a dust extraction unit, fitted to the underside of the jig with a 38mm dust extraction port. Dust and chips are gathered at the source, allowing you to work safer and more efficiently and produce a better finish on your cuts. A 63mm to 38mm dust port adaptor is included to increase the opening size to 2-½" in order to connect to an existing vacuum style dust extractor. Included in this kit are a 1/2" shank straight cutting bit, a 1/2" shank dovetail bit, two locking nuts, two guide bushes and a full instructional guide. Replacement dovetail and straight bits are available under the following part numbers - R5776 for 1/2" routers or R5777 and R5546 for 1/4" routers. ©
