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 Simple homemade dovetail jig

This jig will make 1/2 inch dovetails. It bolts to my table in the same spot as my previously made boxjoint jig.

I would like to make something like that myself. What type of bit, size and angle did you use? and how do you cut the pins to match?

I used a 14 degree 1/2 inch dovetail bit. I just made the jig and I haven't cut a full piece yet. I will let you know how it worked out later.
