Dovetail Jig

This dovetail jig is designed to produce classical dovetail joints that are both beautiful and strong when making boxes, drawers and fine furniture. Extremely simple to set up and use the jig comes complete and ready to rout with a half blind template and a bearing guided dovetail router bit for producing 12mm wide half blind dovetails.

The body of the jig is manufactured from a heavy gauge steel pressing to prevent distortion when under load and the template is precision CNC machined from 6mm thick aluminium to ensure precise and accurate joints every time. Self aligning guides automatically position the workpiece for pin and tail locations reducing the need for tricky calculations. The jig holds both workpieces at the same time, so that the male and female dovetail cuts are a perfect match.

Two substantial levers operate on a cam lock action to quickly and rigidly grip the timbers eliminating the risk of the workpiece moving when being routed. The jig will accepts workpieces up to 300mm wide and from 15mm to 32mm in thickness. This is an excellent dovetail jig that will allow both the professional and novice woodworker to make precise and beautiful dovetails.

This premium performance jig should not be compared to the array of low cost budget jigs found elsewhere. Supplied with aluminium CNC machined template and a 1/4" shank router cutter with guide bearing. A premium quality router bit can be purchased using Rutlands® part number R5779. ©
