Hi,
Watched my dad for years make dovetailed boxes and finally I'm trying.
I am a huge green novice trying to learn all the terms. Apologies ahead if I dont describe the well.
I purchased a rockler "complete dovetail jig". I am attempting through cuts.
the first step was to make the tails with a1/2 inch 8 degree bit. That went great!
then I switch the template for the pins and the bit to a 1/2 straight cut but. I adjust for depth and I've totally destroyed the template. I'm going in the correct direction as far as I know. Assuming I don't have the bit installed correctly somehow. Normally Google would help but couldnt find.
thanks for your help.
