Default Is there anything different about these bits?

INCRA™/JOINTECH Router Bit Set

On this page:
http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shops...es/setdove.htm

I just wanted to pick up a dovetail set and this seems like a good value. But I’ll be using them in a table not in a jig.

Thanks!

Hi Again, Nick -
I have a few MLCS bits (not dovetail) and they have perfomed very satisfactorily.
seems like I have one or two or more of just about every brand. Ha!
The bits in the ad you link us to don't appear to be anything out of the usual... good quality, reasonably priced, etc. Am I overlooking something? Maybe I don't understand your question. Hope all is going well.

Roger

Hi Nick

Because it's part time thing with you and most of us on the forum the bit sets will take care of you needs at the right price, I have both sets and they are great bits, the bigger set has ALL the dovetail bits you will need I'm sure..

The bigger set , the shanks are a bit longer than the norm and they work great in the router table.... also work great with many of the router table dovetail jigs.

http://cgi.ebay.com/16-pc-8mm-Shank-...QQcmdZViewItem

You can also get them in the 1/4" shank size....

Gotcha... I just wanted to make sure there was nothing unusual about that set since it was listed for an Incra Jointech... Sounds like I'd be ok with them...

The angle of the dovetail bit has to match the angle of your dovetail template. Better off not getting a set or they will never get used.

Hi Router

What ??
"angle of your dovetail template" ???

http://www.leighjigs.com/cutters-d16.php#
==========
The template sets the spacing and that's all , and the bit cuts both parts to the dovetail joint.
They will match right up...it can be 12 deg.,14 deg. ,10 deg.,8 deg. or what every . but it's best to use a 8 deg. bits if you are putting in dovetails in thick stock.
