Xact Dovetail Jig

Description

• The finest dovetail jig we have worked with• Creates precise blind and through dovetails• Accepts board 300mm wide by 30mm thick• Powerful twin cam lever clamping system• Precision CNC machined templates• Excellent dust port positioning for improved viability and workpiece finish• Supplied ready to route with cutters and guide bushOf all of the fixed template dovetail jigs we have used, this has to be the best. The base of the jig is made from heavy gauge steel which gives it a good, sturdy feel and allows it to stand solidly on the work bench. Capable of accepting boards up to 300mm wide and from 8mm to 30mm thick, this jig has a twin cam clamping mechanism which holds the board firm during routing. Unlike other dovetail jigs, this jig will produce through, half-blind, rebated half-blind dovetails and finger joints with ease. Requiring the minimum amount of setting up, there is no need for complicated calculations to achieve the perfect dovetail joint. The included templates are precision CNC machined from thick aluminium sheet and will not bend or flex during use. One template will produce half-blind dovetails and the other will create through dovetails and finger joints. Ergonomically designed, this jig has a router rest built in so the router can be sat on top of the jig during cutting without having to be held a few millimetres above it by the operator, giving a more comfortable routing experience. Dust extraction fittings come as standard with this jig and allow dust and chip removal at source giving a much better finish to your work. This is an excellent dovetail jig worthy of any professional workshop.
