ASSEMBLY CAPACITIES 5 The Model D2796 is designed to produce ⁄8" half-blind 7 dovetail joints with a router, /16" O.D. guide bushing 1 (Figure 3), and a 14°, /2" dovetail router bit. Two 1 3 optional templates are available for making ⁄2" and ⁄4" half-blind dovetails and pins. Half-blind dovetails are very strong and are commonly used in fine drawer con- struction. The term “half-blind” refers to the fact that the pins and tails can only be seen from the side. 1. The Model D2796 is capable of h

PREPARATION It is important to plan your work before starting! If joining multiple pieces for a drawer or series of draw- ers, it is best to label the pieces as front, back and sides and which face will be inside or outside. It is also best to label the ends so it is clear which end mates with another. Labeling will save setup time and avoid costly mistakes in the long run. 3 A typical drawer has a /4" thick front with sides made 1 of /2" material. Your drawer fronts and backs must be 5 at leas

ADJUSTMENTS 4. To measure at both ends of the jig, try shifting the vertical piece to the other end of the jig or clamp two pieces at each end of the jig as shown in See Figure 15. It is not necessary to simultaneously measure with two rulers. The two rulers only rep- resent two measurement locations. 5. Tighten the two template lock knobs and re-check your measurements.

FENCE ADJUSTMENT (x") Once the side stops have been accurately set up, the fence needs to be properly adjusted. The fence is designed to control how far back into the template the router will cut. If the fence is not set back far enough, Guide Bushing the drawer pieces will not fit all the way together. If the fence is set too far back, the drawer pieces will slide into one another too far leaving excess material on the joint. On the next page is a chart used to determine how far back from the t

OPERATIONS Turn the router on and gently ease the bit into the work, letting the guide bushing gently contact the template. Facing the dovetail jig, start at your left side and work to the right, following each template finger in and out. Ensure that the router base and guide bushing stay in firm contact with the tem- plate. See Figure 19. 7 Hint: If you are using material thicker than /8", cut it in two stages.

HALF-BLIND JOINTS ON RABBET- ED DRAWER FRONTS Rabbet spacers Drawer fronts that have been rabbeted around the inside edge to create a lip to restrict drawer travel in the closed position require some additional setup. To produce half-blind dovetails on rabbeted drawer fronts: 1. A spacer must be added to the vertical side stop in the front of the jig to compensate for the rabbet. The width of the spacer must be the same width as Figure 21 shows lining up a rabbeted board and where to the rabbet

OPERATIONS TROUBLE SHOOTING TEAR-OUT When cutting across the grain of the wood, tear-out or splintering may occur when the router bit exits the workpiece. To prevent tear-out, you may scribe a line on the side piece with a sharp knife or awl at the same distance down that router bit will cut. Tear-out can be eliminated or reduced by backing up the workpiece with a scrap piece or simply using extra care when operating the router.
