NOTE: You can cut the pin and tail board separately, if you prefer.
Slide the straight clamping block to the left so that it contacts the pin board (Fig. 16D). Hook the straight
clamping block over the front and back of the main clamping board.
Secure the pin board by clamping it between the offset and straight clamping blocks (Fig. 16E).
Loosen the #10 wood screws, align the template lines with the line where the pin board and tail board
meet, and retighten the #10 wood screws (Fig. 16F).
DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
Set the router bit depth, using the bit depth guide.
Cut the joint. Fitting the joint is identical to a standard half-blind dovetail.
Use protective handles to keep your hands away from the router bit. Grip the handles only on the
opposite side of the workpiece.
USING A ROUTER TABLE
You can use board-mounted templates with your router table. However,
the templates must be inverted. Similarly, invert all operations (setting the
router bit, etc.).
