I have had some practice using my dovetail jig . . . bits and pieced of scrap all over the garage.
I tried to make a box but I found that all of the corners (single blind) were loose. Not tightfitting at all. It looks neat when it is sitting on the bench, but when you pick it up it goes all out of shape. There is little slack from side to side in the join, but most of it is front to back.
This is what I am using . . .
Dewalt 616
1/2 King Dovetail Jig
1/2 Craftsman Dovetail bit
adapter plate that came with the Craftsman router table adapter plate (the bit is slightly off center in the hole)
1x4 clear pine
What am I doing wrong??
