FITTING THE JOINT

Step 1 - Orient the template so that the “PINS” side is facing you (Fig. 9A).

Step 2 - Loosen the two #10 screws.

Step 3 - If the joint is too loose, move the template toward you slightly.

Step 4 - If the joint is too tight, move the template away from you slightly.

Step 5- Tighten the screws loosened in STEP 2. Step 6 - Cut the pin board again and check for fit.

THROUGH-DOVETAILS WITH UNLIMITED BOARD WIDTH

You can cut dovetails in boards wider than the templates mounted on clamping boards by cutting the first part of the joint, sliding the templet down the workpiece, and cutting the rest of the joint.

NOTE: Become familiar with the procedure for cutting through-dovetails with a template on a clamping board before attempting working with unlimited board width.

SETUP

Remove the half-blind depth bracket. Other than that, the setup is identical to the previous setup.
