Hi 1973vw
"it's power,too big physically and it's plunge router" = yes
A 1 HP router can do the job, plus you will have control over the router that's only 3lbs. unlike the 3 1/4HP that's 15lbs.
"stock thickness question" It's not a big deal because you are putting in blind dovetails...the easy way to set it up, drop in some of the same stock you are going to use, set the stock in place and make a test pass,then mark the stock with a pencil then use it to reset the jig for the right cut...the real key is the stop block on the jig, the templates will do what you want them to do..

I have a manual, and it doesn't address the stock thickness question at all. I'll check the links you provided, and see if they offer anything different. Thanks! |
