HELPFUL HINTS
• Once all adjustments are made, do not make any fur-
ther changes until all dovetails are cut.
• Always clamp workpiece securely for cutting.
• Rout dovetails from the front only.
• A safe operator is one who thinks ahead.
• Do not raise or lower your router or cutter while the bit
is between the dovetail template fingers.
• Keep router base flat against template.
• Always wear eye protection when routing.
• Make certain the ends of all boards are square.
• Make set-up adjustments carefully. Then double check.
Measure twice and cut once.
• DO NOT use warped boards.
• Keep cutters clean and properly sharpened.
• Be consistent when selecting the thickness of your
boards.
• Don't let familiarity make you careless.
• Always bevel the drawer front for an offset-front
drawer.
• Study all safety rules and do the job safely.
• Plan your drawer height opening so that the boards will
be in increments of 7/8 in. for 1/2 in. joints, or 29/64 in.
increments for 1/4 in. joints. This will allow a half-pin
to be on both the top and bottom edge of the drawer
front. Don't forget to allow for clearances.
• NEVER place your hands in jeopardy.
• Make certain clamps can't loosen while in use.
• Test difficult set-ups on scrap -- Don't waste lumber.
• Plan each operation before you begin.
• THINK SAFETY BY THINKING AHEAD,
PROBLEM SOLUTION
If the joint is too tight Raise the cutter very slightly. This will make the cut more
shallow (approximately 1/64 in.). See depth adjustment
instructions as explained in the router operator's manual.
If the joint is too loose Lower the cutter bit very slightly to make the cut deeper
(approximately 1/64 in.).
If the fit is too deep _ Turn the lock nut (I)in a counter-clockwise direction until
desired depth is reached. See Figures 14, 17, or 18.
NOTE: Be sure to adjust both lock nuts equally.
