This is my first time posting on this forum and first off I want to say hello to all.
Secondly, I have a question about dovetail jig templates..... I recently built the dovetailing jig from the plans offered by "Woodsmith" magazine and it works great! It is setup for cutting H/B DT's using a 7/16" guide bushing and a 1/2" bit. What I want to know is where can I find info on how to know which size bits work with which size bushings and required finger spacing so I can make template combs to cut other size joints or maybe do throught dovetails. I haven't been able to find anything on the web to even give me a starting place. I'm only an occasional woodworker and it's hard for me to justify buying a pricy jig that I might only use once or twice.
This jig works perfectly for me and it would be a shame if I couldn't expand on it's versitiliy more.
Any info that would help would be greatly apprecated!
Thanks again. Dominick
