You can join boards at angles other than 90°. Four different methods are shown below by using the through dovetail procedure.

The simplest of these angled joints is the |
|
|
|
dovetail. In this joint, two boards are joined together at an |
|
| |
| Joint | ||
angle greater than 90°. |
| Angle | |
This joint can be made with either the template mounted to the |
|
|
|
base of the jig or to a clamping board. If the angle is 100° or |
|
|
|
greater, you must use the clamping board method. |

SETUP WITH THE TEMPLATE MOUNTED TO THE BASE OF THE JIG
Step 1 - Make an angled insert according to one of the drawings (Figs. 51A and 51B).Match the angle of the insert with the joint angle. If the workpiece is wider than 6" use the 12" insert.
Step 2 - Step 3 -

Make sure that the
Remove the small front knobs, the front clamping rod, and the front clamping U channel. Leave the springs.
