Rockler - 62525 Dovetail Jig
The Rockler 62525 Dovetail Jig cuts half-blind dovetails and box joints with the included accessories.
Oct 15, 2006
The Rockler 62525 Dovetail Jig comes assembled and includes a router bit and guide bushing. The four-page instruction sheet is brief but easy to follow, provides safety instructions, and includes clear pictures, but no parts breakdown. A bit more detailed information, helpful tips, and reminders would be useful.
Once set up the jig is quick and easy to use. The top and side offset guides are one piece, allowing them to be adjusted as one unit for even spacing of the joints. The fence is adjusted based on an equation that considers the diameter of the router base, material thickness, and router bit diameter.

Sliding feet attach to the lower bars with magnets, letting you position them quickly for stability on any surface. The spring-loaded jaws adjust easily, dropping into notches along the bars. And the powerful clamp handles clear the benchtop.
