OPERATION  
MISCELLANEOUS TECHNIQUES  
Using these techniques can simplify your dovetailing projects.  
USE A DEAD-BLOW HAMMER  
Use a plastic dead-blow hammer to join your workpieces together to help prevent the marring of wood (Fig. 1A).  
CHAMFER THE TAIL EDGES  
Chamfering the inner tail edges can make the joints go together easier and may prevent damage to the pins (Fig.  
1B). Make the chamfers with a file or a chisel. Since the chamfers are located on the inside of the joint, they will be  
invisible.  
Fig. 1A  
Fig. 1B  
ALTERNATE THROUGH DOVETAIL AND BOX JOINT BIT DEPTH SETTING  
This method of setting your router bit depth on through dovetails or box joints is very accurate for creating pins or  
tails that are flush, and is especially good for inlay work. Use a board that is the same thickness as your workpiece  
to be joined and draw a line.  
Fig. 2A  
Fig. 2B  
Set the router on the template and lower the router bit until it reaches the line. Make sure that the scrap material  
used in the horizontal position to support the template is at least as thick as the router bit depth-of-cut.  
STOP NUT FOR BRASS ADJUSTMENT KNOB  
A
If using the same setup repeatedly, you can use a 3/8"-16 nut (A)  
Fig. 3A (not supplied) to keep the brass adjustment knobs from  
moving.

TEMPLATES MOUNTED TO CLAMPING BOARDS  
You can mount the jig templates to clamping boards and take the templates to the workpiece to make the joint. The  
benefits of this operation are:  
1. You can maneuver a mounted template onto a large workpiece easier than clamping a large workpiece to the  
jig. This process allows you to join boards wider than 12" by routing a part of the joint, sliding the mounted  
template just past the original cut, and routing the remainder of the joint.  
Fig. 4B  
Fig. 4A  
Fig. 4C  
2. By using the clamping boards, you can rout boards that  
are too short to clamp in the jig base, allowing you to  
dovetail small decorative boxes.  
3. You can make half-blind joints in thicker wood than the jig can handle.  
4. You can make steeply-angled joints with the clamping boards.  
5. You can make joints using a router table by inverting the mounted templates.  
THROUGH-DOVETAILS WITH CLAMPING BOARDS  
You can use both the normal through-dovetail template (included with the 4212 Jig and the 4213 Accessory Kit),  
and the miniature through-dovetail template (included with the 4215 Accessory Kit) with a clamping board.  
NOTE: You can modify these clamping board methods to make box joints.  
SETUP  
Step 1 -  
Make a clamping board 2" x 3" x 19". Make sure  
that all four sides are square (You may need to  
glue thinner sections of wood together and  
plane them to make the 2" board).

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.

CUTTING THE TAILS  
Step 1 -  
Clamp the tail board with the outside surface facing away from the clamping board (Fig. 10A).  
Step 2 -  
If the board is a width in 1" increments, (12", 13", etc.), center the edge of the board exactly between the  
two fingers of the template farthest to the left (Fig. 10B).  
Step 3 -  
If the board is not in 1" increments, take the fraction of an inch that is greater than 1" and divide it by two.  
Then move the tailboard to the left of the center of the fingers by that amount (Fig. 10C). EXAMPLE: IF the  
board width is 16-1/2", take the 1/2", divide it by two. You would then move the tail board to the left of the  
center of the fingers by 1/4" and clamp it in place.  
Use a piece of wood the same thickness as the pin board to mark the router bit depth.  
Step 4 -  
DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE.  
Set the router bit depth, using the pencil mark from STEP 4.  
Step 5 -  
Connect your router to the power source and cut the pins as far as the template will allow.

ALTERNATE ROUTER BITS  
You are not limited to using the router bits supplied with your jig. Other router bits can be used to produce a different  
look or to work with thicker woods. Using alternate bits can help you produce more advanced joints (inlayed  
dovetails, etc.). Since 1/2" shank bits are stronger and are much less prone to deflection than the 1/4" shank bits,  
we recommend that you use the 1/2" shank bits with the 4210 and 4212 dovetail jigs, and with the 4211 and 4213  
accessory kits.  
THROUGH-DOVETAIL BITS  
If you choose to purchase alternate through-dovetail bits, keep in mind the following:  
1. The dovetail bit must have a 7° angle. This angle matches the tapered fingers used to guide the straight bit.  
2. The sum of the diameters of the dovetail and straight bits must equal 15/16". For example, a 5/8" dovetail bit  
must have a 5/16" straight bit - the sum of both equalling 15/16".  
3. The length of the cutter determines the maximum thickness of wood that can be cut. The length of the cutter  
on the dovetail bit is the maximum thickness of the pin board. The length of the cutter on the straight bit is the  
maximum thickness of the tail board. If your bits have 1" cutters, you can make through-dovetails with 1" thick  
boards.  
4. Purchase bits that will not cut into the template guides. The template guide used with the dovetail bit has an  
inside diameter of 21/32". Use bits that will fit into this dimension. Some larger bits might work, but with  
minimal depth (Fig. 18A).  
5. The inside diameter of the template guide used with the straight bit is 17/32". Use straight bits that are smaller  
than that dimension.

Some items to consider when purchasing alternate bits for half-blind dovetails are:  
1. A shallow angle of the bit requires a deeper cut. A steeper angle requires a shallower cut.  
2. The diameter of the bit should be slightly greater than 1/2". The greater the diameter, the deeper the cut.  
3. The bit should have a cutting length at least as long as the cutting depth.  
NOTE: When using alternate bits, ensure that the pin board (drawer front) is thicker than the depth of cut.  
NOTE: When using alternate bits, ensure that the bit will not cut into the base of the jig. For deep cuts, take out  
most of the material with a straight bit, then follow up with the half-blind dovetail bit.

HALF-BLIND DOVETAIL BITS WITH THE TAILS AND PINS CUT SEPARATELY  
Using two different-sized dovetail bits to make half-blind dovetails  
requires separate cuts, similar to cutting the rabbeted half-blind  
dovetail. This method provides a more hand-cut look and is an  
important step in creating inlayed half-blind dovetails.  
Fig. 20A  
Some items to consider:  
1. The two bits must have the same angle.  
2. A shallower angle requires a deeper cut, while a steeper angle requires a shallower cut.  
3. When the diameters of the two bits are added together, the sum must be slightly greater than 1". The closer  
the sum is to 1", the shallower the depth of cut will be. The larger the sum, the deeper the cut.

SETUP  
The only difference between cutting this joint and cutting the  
standard half-blind is the use of two router bits. If you use one  
router, you will have to set the depth-of-cut for each router bit. You  
can make a simple depth guide as illustrated in Fig. 21A.  
If you have two routers, you will not have to go through the process  
of changing the bit each time you make a different cut. This method  
requires, however, two 3/4" OD template guides and two template  
guide locknuts, available from Porter-Cable.

CUTTING THE TAILS  
Cut the tail board (drawer side) similar to cutting the rabbeted half-blind dovetail, but remove the spacer and move  
the left offset guide directly against the tail board.  
NOTE: Support the template with a scrap workpiece thick enough to prevent the cutter from contacting the base.  
CUTTING THE PINS  
Cut the pin board (drawer front) similar to cutting the rabbeted half-blind dovetail. (If you use the alternate method  
of aligning the pin board with secondary board. Make sure the secondary board does not have a rabbet).  
NOTE: Ensure that the pin board (drawer front) is thicker than the depth of cut to prevent the cutter from contacting  
the base.  
FITTING THE JOINT  
Fit the joint the same as you would a standard rabbeted half-blind dovetail.  
NOTE: If a change in depth-of-cut is required, change it on both bits.  
BOX JOINT BITS  
You can make box joints with different diameter router bits for the two workpieces. The process is identical to  
making standard box joints except that you will need to change the bit for the second board. Two routers will make  
this job easier. However, this two-router method will require two 3/4" OD template guides and two template guide  
lock nuts, available from Porter-Cable.  
In selecting straight bits for these modified box joints, keep in mind the following:  
1. The sum of the diameters of the two straight bits must equal 1".  
2, The length of the bit used to cut the first board determines the maximum thickness of the second board.  
(Example: if a 3/8" diameter bit used on the first board has a 1/2" long cutter, the maximum thickness of the  
second board would be 1/2").

DOVETAIL DADO BITS  
Any dovetail bit can be used to make dovetail dados (sliding dovetails) as long as the bit does not cut into the  
template guide or the base of the jig. The process is identical to that of the standard dovetail dado. Also, you can  
use template guides smaller than 3/4" OD which will have the effect of making the dado slot wider than the bit  
diameter.  
NOTE: Any template guide bushing surface must not extend more than 1/4" from the base.

completed the cut.  
2. Start on the right side. Keep the router towards the front edge of the dado slot, and cut to the left until you  
complete the cut.  
3. Leave the router in the dado slot until the bit stops spinning.  
NOTE: For deep cuts, use a straight bit first.  
NOTE: Cut the tenon just as you would a standard tenon.

HALF-BLIND DOVETAILS WITH TAIL BOARDS THICKER THAN 7/8"  
For tail boards thicker than 7/8", you can use the template normally used for through dovetails (instead of that used  
for half-blind dovetails) to provide deeper pins and tails (Fig. 24A).  
The procedure is the same as that for a normal half-blind dovetail.  
NOTE: Use the “half-blind” line for aligning the template.  
Fig. 24A  
Fig. 24B  
With the wood clamped to the base of the jig, the maximum thickness will be 1-1/8". By using a templet mounted  
to a clamping board, you can use much thicker wood, producing a strong joint.

MITERED THROUGH-DOVETAIL  
You can make a through-dovetail with a mitered edge, creating  
a molded edge that goes the whole way to the joint. This joint is  
very attractive on serving trays or decorative boxes without lids.  
Fig. 25A  
NOTE: Depending on the depth of the molded edge, you may want to make the boards slightly wider to account for  
the molded depth. If so, mount the tail board so that the mitered edge will end with the thicker half-pin. With the  
offset guide set against the tail board, the pin board will automatically be cut correctly.  
CUTTING THE TAILS  
Cut the tails as you would a standard through-dovetail, except  
do not make the tail cut on the edge from the proposed miter.  
CUTTING THE PINS  
Fig. 26A  
Cut all the pins normally.  
Step 1 -  
Step 2 -  
Step 3 -  
Remove the template, turn it horizontally so that the straight fingers are facing you.  
Adjust the board so that the edge where the miter will be cut is to the left.  
Adjust the board so that only the triangular part of the half-pin will be cut off with the router and straight  
bit, leaving a squared-off pin (Figs. 27A and 27B).  
For repeated cuts, slide the left offset guide until it touches the pin board and secure it.  
Step 4 -  
Step 5 -  
Step 6 - Cut the triangular area off (Fig. 27C).

MITERING THE PINS  
Step 1 - On the inside surface, use a square and pencil to draw a line from the base of the pins to the edge  
where the miter will be cut (Fig. 28A).  
Step 2 -  
Use a table saw with the miter gauge set to 45° to miter the squared-off half pin (Figs. 28B and  
28C).

Step 2 -  
Step 3 -  
On the inside surface, use a square and pencil to draw a line from the base of the tails to the edge where  
the miter will be cut (Fig. 29A).  
Set the table saw blade so that the height of cut of the saw blade is the same as the thickness of the  
mitered half-pin.  
Use a table saw with the miter gauge set to 45° to miter the tails. You will need to make several passes  
to cut out the material (Fig. 29B).  
NOTE: A dado head could be used to make this cut in one pass.  
Fig. 29C

FITTING THE JOINT  
You may need to trim the miter cuts by hand for a good fit. Files, chisels, shoulder planes, and rabbet planes work  
well. Otherwise, adjust the tightness of the joint the same as you would for a normal through dovetail.  
THROUGH-DOVETAIL, SKIPPED-PIN METHOD  
This method is very similar to cutting standard through- dovetails (Fig. 30A).  
CUTTING THE TAILS

SAW KERF ALLOWANCE METHOD  
An effective way to match the grain in a decorative box is to make the box from one piece of wood and then cut  
the lid with a table saw. However, if the dovetails are evenly spaced, they may be unattractive because the saw kerf  
removed needed material.  
Fig. 37A  
Fig. 37B  
NOTE: For this method, you will need a spacer block equal to the thickness of the saw kerf, typically 1/8" on a  
standard saw blade. Also, make the boards wider than the final size of the box by the same thickness.  
NOTE: This method is very similar to making standard through-dovetails.

CUTTING THE TAILS  
Step 1 - Center and clamp the tailboard as normal, but use the spacer on the left side of the board (A) Fig.  
38A. (The spacer will cause the board to move slightly off center to the right).  
Step 2 -  
Step 3 -  
Mark between the two fingers on the template where you want the kerf to be (B) Fig. 38B.  
Cut the tails from the far left to the right. Stop at the mark (Fig. 38C).  
Remove the spacer and slide the tail board to the left.  
Step 4 -

FITTING AND CUTTING THE JOINT  
Fitting the joint is the same as fitting the standard dovetail.  
Once the box is glued and dried, separate the box lid and  
bottom with a table saw.  
Fig.40B  
MULTIPLE SPACER METHOD  
The saw kerf allowance method can be modified by using  
multiple spacers on the same joint to create more varied  
spacing of the pins and tails.  
However, when removing or adding a spacer, continue cutting  
the NEXT tail (instead of cutting the SAME tail as described in  
“CUTTING THE TAILS” - STEP 5), and continue with the  
SAME pin (instead of cutting the NEXT pin as described in  
“CUTTING THE PINS” - STEP 5).  
Fig. 41A  
END-TO-END JOINTS  
You can use the 4200 series dovetail jigs to join boards end-to-end to increase length and to make visually  
interesting larger panels.  
BOX END-TO-END JOINTS  
End-to-end and standard box joints are the same except in the  
joining of the boards. You can use any depth of cut with your  
router as long as you use the same depth on both boards.  
NOTE: When you set your depth-of-cut, set it so that the bit  
won’t cut into the base of the jig.

DOVETAIL END-TO-END JOINTS  
A dovetail end-to-end joint is a combination of a box joint and a half-blind dovetail joint. the workpieces are  
mounted to the jig in the same way as for a box joint. However, the router bit and bit depth are set-up for a half-  
blind dovetail.  
NOTE: The tightness of the joint is adjusted by the depth of the router bit.

DRAWERS WITH DOVETAIL DADOS  
Drawers can be made with dovetailed dados (sliding dovetails). Lay out the parts as shown is Fig. 44A. Assembled,  
the drawers will look the same as Fig. 44B  
The drawer front will have two dados, one for each drawer side.  
The drawer sides will have a tenon on the front end and a dado near the rear facing the center of the drawer.  
The drawer back will have a tenon on each end.  
The drawer front and sides will have a cut groove to accept the drawer bottom.  
The drawer back will be cut narrower for ease of inserting the drawer bottom into the drawer.  
Use brads up through the drawer back to fix the drawer bottom in place.

To hide the joint, cut the dado normally, but stop before you reach the top (Fig. 44C).  
NOTE: You can clamp a stop to the template if you are making multiple cuts (Fig. 44C).  
To further hide the joint, you can cut the top corner of the tenon off (Fig. 44A).  
NOTE: If the sides and back are the same thickness, you can cut all of the tenons with one setup.

WOODEN HINGES  
A wooden hinge can be used to make hinged table leafs or hinged legs for a collapsible table. The hinge pins are  
normally are made of stainless steel, but you can use other materials, including wood for that purpose.  
180° HINGES WITH A DRILLED HOLE  
The workpiece for this simple hinge must be narrow enough to make the hole for the hinge pin with a drill bit.  
This hinge has at least a range of motion of 180° (Figs. 45A and 45B).

180° HINGES WITH ROUTER-MADE GROOVES  
When the width of the workpieces are too wide for a drill bit to  
make the hole, use this method.Two boards compose each  
hinge half. Make a half-round dado at the end of the  
workpieces. When you glue the boards together, these two  
dados make the hole for the hinge pin.  
Fig. 47A  
Step 1 - Use a router to make a half-round dado near the end of each of the four boards. Make the diameter of the  
groove equal to the diameter of the hinge pin, and the depth of cut half the diameter of the hinge pin (Fig.  
48A).  
Insert the metal rod (long enough to stick out of both ends of the board) in one of the dados.  
Glue a second workpiece to the first (Fig. 48B).  
Repeat Steps two and three for the other half of the hinge.  
After the glue dries, remove the metal rod.

270° HINGES WITH ROUTER-MADE GROOVES  
This method uses two pieces of wood glued together for each  
hinge-half. One of the pieces is very short.  
Fig. 49A  
Step 1 - Use a router to make a half-round dado near the end of a board. Make the diameter of the groove equal  
to the diameter of the hinge pin, and the depth of cut half the diameter of the hinge pin(Fig. 49B).  
Round over the ends of the boards (Fig. 49C).  
Cut off the ends of the boards. The length of the cut-off should be twice the thickness of the board (Fig.  
49D).  
Step 2 -  
Step 3 -  
Repeat Step 1 for the remaining longer boards.  
Step 4 -  
For both hinge halves, glue the short board to the long board with the metal hinge rod in the grooves and  
sticking out both sides of the wood (Fig. 49E)  
Step 5 -  
After the glue dries, remove the metal rod.  
Step 6 - Make the rest of the hinge the same as you would with the 180° Hinge With a Drilled Hole.

ANGLED JOINTS  
You can join boards at angles other than 90°. Four different methods are shown below by using the through dovetail  
procedure.  
OBTUSE ANGLED JOINTS  
The simplest of these angled joints is the obtuse-angled  
dovetail. In this joint, two boards are joined together at an  
angle greater than 90°.  
Joint  
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.  
Fig. 50A  
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 -  
Make sure that the 1/4-20 flat-head screw does not protrude (A) Fig. 51C.  
Step 3 -  
Remove the small front knobs, the front clamping rod, and the front clamping U channel. Leave the  
springs.  
Step 4 -  
Use two 1/2" 1/4-20 flat-head screws to secure the angled insert to the front of the base of the jig, with  
the thicker edge of the insert up. If you are using the 6" insert, install it in the 2 holes on the right (Fig.  
51C).  
Step 5 -  
Replace the hardware that was removed in STEP 3.

SETUP WITH THE TEMPLATE MOUNTED TO A CLAMPING BOARD  
Step 1 - Make an angled clamping board according to the drawing (Fig. 52B). Match the angle of the  
clamping board to the joint angle.  
If necessary, create flat places on the clamping board parallel with the opposite side so that the  
clamps can grab.  
Attach the template to the clamping board with #10 wood screws. Position the angled surface on  
the side of the template with the straight fingers (Fig. 52A).

CUTTING THE TAILS  
Step 1 - Cut the end of the tail board according to the instructions in the drawing (Fig. 53A). You can make these  
cuts on a table saw with the blade beveled (Fig. 53B). Set the miter gauge at 90° for the first cut, then use  
a tenoning jig for the second cut (Fig. 53C).  
Step 2 - If you use the template mounted to the base of the jig, mount the board with the outside face toward the  
base of the jig. Center the edges of the board between two fingers (Fig. 53D).  
If you use the board-mounted template, clamp the board with the outside face toward the angled surface  
of the clamping board. Center the board between two fingers.  
Step 3 -  
Align the template using the “tails” line.  
Step 4 -  
If the angle is steep, the “tails” line may not align with the wood. The joint will be fine if you place the straight  
portion of the template fingers directly over the tail board (A) Fig. 53E. Otherwise, you may have to use an  
angled clamping board.

CUTTING THE PINS  
Step 1 -  
Step 2 -  
Cut the end of the pin board according to the drawing (54A).  
If you use the template mounted to the base of the jig and a 12" angled insert, remove the small front  
knobs, clamping rod and clamping U channel. Then remove the angled insert and reinstall the hardware.  
Hold the boards together and mark the end of the pin board along the edges of the tails (Fig. 54B).  
Rotate the template so that the angled fingers are facing toward you.  
If you use the template mounted to the base of the jig, mount the pin board with the outside surface facing  
away from the base of the jig. Center the marks on the end of the board between the angled fingers of  
the template (Fig. 54C).  
Step 3 -

the angled fingers of the template.  
Step 7-  
Use the "PINS” line to align the template with the edge of the pin board.  
Step 8- Set the router bit depth slightly more than the thickness of the tail board. Make sure that the bit does not  
contact the base of the jig.  
Cut the pins and remove the pin board.

ACUTE ANGLED JOINTS  
Fig. 55A  
An acute angle joint joins two boards together at an angle less  
than 90°. The acute angled joint is very similar in construction to  
the the obtuse angled joint and can be used with the obtuse  
angled joint to make boxes with angles other than 90°.  
Joint  
Angle  
SETUP  
Use the same setup as you would for the obtuse angled joint. Use 180° minus the joint angle for the insert angle  
when you make your angled insert or your angled clamping board.  
NOTE: If the acute angle and the obtuse angle add up to 180°, use the same setup for both joints.  
CUTTING THE TAILS  
Step 1 - Cut the end of the tail board according to the instructions on the drawing (Fig. 56A). Steep angles or thin  
wood will make for a weak joint. Make this cut on a table saw with the blade beveled. Set the miter gauge  
at 90° for the first cut and use a tenoning jig for the second cut (Fig. 56B).  
Clamp the workpiece as you did for the obtuse-angled joint, except face the outside surface of the board  
away from the base of the jig.  
Step 2 -  
Step 3 -  
Step 3 is identical to Step 5 in "CUTTING THE TAILS" of the obtuse-angled section.

SLANTED-SIDE JOINTS  
Two boards joined at 90°, with one board slanted to the side is known as a slanted-side joint. This method is used  
to make a box with the ends at right angles to the table, but with the sides tilted outward (cradles, planters, magazine  
racks).  
Fig. 58A  
Fig. 58B  
NOTE: Usually, the tails are cut into the ends and the pins are cut into the sides.  
CUTTING THE TAILS  
Step 1 - Cut the ends of the tail board at the desired angle. Note that when the angle is approaching 15° that the  
tails weaken (Fig. 59A).  
Step 2 -  
Mount the board so that the outside surface faces the base of the jig and the edge is against the template  
(Fig. 59B).  
Step 3 -  
Cut the tails in the same manner as you would the standard dovetails.

CUTTING THE TAILS  
Step 2 -  
With the angled insert attached to the base of the jig, mount the tail board with the outside surface of the  
board facing the jig and with the board centered between the fingers of the template (Fig. 64D).  
Align the template using the “Tails” alignment line. If the angle is so steep that the “Tails” alignment line  
will not work, you may have to use an angled clamping board. However, as long as the rounded part of  
the fingers go past the edge of the wood, the set up will work fine as is.  
Set the router bit depth to where the sides of the board go off at a slight angle (Fig. 64E).  
Cut the tails and remove the tail board.

species of wood to make test pin boards until the template is adjusted for a perfect fit.  
INLAYED JOINTS  
The 4200 series dovetail jigs will allow you to make joints with inlays of different colored wood for a very unique look.  
INLAYED THROUGH DOVETAIL  
The inlayed through dovetail is produced by utilizing 2  
through dovetails, one on top of the other.  
SETUP  
Fig. 67A  
Select two sets of router bit combinations from the table for “Through Dovetail Router Bit Combinations" in the  
section "TABLES OF COMMONLY AVAILABLE ROUTER BIT SIZES". Use the following table to determine the  
thickness of the inlay line

Use the set with the bigger dovetail bit for the first joint. Make sure that the length of the cutter on the bit is at least  
the thickness of the pin board plus the thickness of the inlay line. At the same time, make sure that the length of the  
cutter on the straight bit is at least the thickness of the tail board.  
Use the set with the smaller dovetail bit for the second joint. Make sure that the length of the cutter is at least the  
thickness of the pin board. At the same time, make sure that the length of the cutter on the straight bit is at least  
the thickness of the tail board plus the thickness of the inlay line.  
Plane the inlay board the same thickness as the thickness of the pin board plus the thickness of the inlay line from  
the table above.  
MAKE THE FIRST JOINT  
Make the first joint the same way that you would make a standard through dovetail (Fig. 68A).  
If the jig is set up to make through dovetails with the tails and pins slightly protruding or recessed, use the alternate  
method of setting the router bit depth found in the section on “MISCELLANEOUS TECHNIQUES”.  
Glue the joint together and let it dry.

NOTE: If the thickness of the inlay line is very thin, you may have difficulty cutting the inlay correctly.  
MAKE THE FIRST JOINT  
The first joint is identical to that described in the section on Half-Blind Dovetail Bits with the Pins and Tails Cut  
Separately under the chapter “ALTERNATE ROUTER BITS”. Use the inlay material as the pin board (normally the  
drawer front). For the first joint, cut the tail board with the larger dovetail bit and the pin board with the smaller  
dovetail bit.  
Glue the joint and let it dry.  
CUT OFF THE INLAY BOARD  
After the joint has dried, cut off the inlay board. Cut off the pin board flush  
with the inside edge of the tail board (Fig. 71B). Then cut off the front edge of  
the inlay board (Fig. 71C), making sure that the remainder of the inlay (A) Fig  
71D is cut so that the thickness is equal to the thickness found in the table  
on the previous page.

NOTE: If the thickness of the inlay line is very thin, you may have difficulty in cutting the inlay correctly.  
You must plane the inlay board to the thickness of the second board plus the thickness of the inlay line.  
MAKE THE FIRST JOINT  
The first joint is identical to a box joint with alternate router bit sizes as found in the section “ALTERNATE ROUTER  
BITS”. Make a box joint with the first board and the inlay board. Use the larger straight bit with the first board and  
the smaller bit with the inlay board.  
If the jig is set up to make through dovetails with the tails and pins slightly protruding or recessed, use the alternate  
method of setting the router bit depth found in the section on “MISCELLANEOUS TECHNIQUES”.  
NOTE: For the tails and pins to be flush, be careful to make the bit depth very precise.  
CUT OFF THE INLAY BOARD  
After the joint has dried, cut off most of the inlay board. Leave an amount equal to the thickness of the inlay.  
MAKE THE SECOND JOINT  
The second joint is also identical to a box joint with alternate router bit sizes as found in the section “ALTERNATE  
ROUTER BITS”. Make a box joint with the board from the previous section and the second board. Use the smaller  
straight bit with the board from the previous section and the larger bit with the second board.  
HINT: this section of your project (aligning the joint) is easier if you do not move the offset guides after making the  
first joint.
