old hand with a new toy...
this is maddening...
what is this gap a symptom of ???...
I’m utilizing the supplied 3/8”O.D. Collet...
with 9/32” 7° Dovetail Cutter...
with the Miniature Half-Blind Dovetail Template....
my depth is spot on...
but... as you can see in the photo...
the results are consistently too loose...
there is a gap of approximately 1/32”...
my first thought was that the template is mis-milled... (highly unlikely)...
I checked each tooth anyway... 3/8” throat with 1/8” finger... (perfect...)
I checked the dimensions of the O.D. of the Collet... 3/8”... (perfect....)
I checked the dimensions of the Cutter... 9/32”... (perfect...)
does anyone have an insight on this?...
please/ thanks in advance....
