my question is how to make the through dove tails I have a template for blind dove tails? I am actually a fairly new wood worker I have played around with my tools for many years but only made small stuff and never done real finish projects, mostly my stuff has been made up of rough work I have just got the time to really try my hand at building cabinets and stuff I have the blind tails to where they are decent or passable but I cannot figure out how to get the end of drawers with the through type tails I have been making them with the blind tails same as the front.

Hi Richard

Well it takes a jig to do it.

The one I recommend is the one from MLCS because it can be used with the router table or the hand held type router.

Bob, that looks SO simple...

What do you do... just screw it to a straight piece of scrap?

... and you only need to have a 5/8" guide bushing?

Can be used on a router table!! Simply... No hassle setup??

You Got It

It's that easy and it comes with all the parts that one needs

Just need the router table

Drop and Slot. and it's done/

is the jig on the top in the picture adjustable for the spacing?
