Jigs and Fixtures This area will be directed towards the art of designing specific jigs and fixtures. Bob and Rick say, "if the specific operation is to make more than one piece the same size and shape then chances are you need a jig and/or fixtures."

Default Dovetail jig question

What do I need to buy to do 1/2" dovetails in 3/4" hardwood? I found a dovetail jig with an aluminum guide plate. I have a Makita 3612 router. It's a large plunge model. Thanks!

Send a message via AIM to jeff12002

read the instructions that came with your dovetail jig. It will explain precisely what bits and accessories you will need. If your jig is a half-blind dovetail jig, you may have to purchase another template to make through dovetails, if that's what you are trying to do. Depending on your jig, this template may not exist.

Thanks Jeff. I haven't bought it yet, but I wanted to be prepared. Hopefully it'll have good instructions.
