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.

Stanley Powerlock 16-ft. tape measure
With its smooth lock, tough case, compact size, and excellent accuracy, this Stanley tape is perfect for workshop use.
3M Blue Tape
One of the most versatile accessories to have in the shop: from layout to seaming veneer. It has enough stretch to pull joints together.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
