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.

Step 2 -
Orient the template so that the “PINS” side is
facing you (Fig. 9A).
Loosen the two #10 screws.
If the joint is too loose, move the template
toward you slightly.
If the joint is too tight, move the template away
from you slightly.
Tighten the screws loosened in STEP 2.
Cut the pin board again and check for fit.
