Bruce | Re: begginer finger joints Those 1/2" spacings make for pretty large looking tails and pins. You shouldn't need two different bits if you are making box joints... Fender and everyone else in mass production I can think of DOES NOT do dovetailing but instead builds the carcass using box joints. A dovetail joint will need two bits, a straight flute and a dovetail cutter. I still think true dovetailing is a waste of time for a homebrewer unless you are not covering the cabinet and want the look of joint to be part of the sizzle. If you want to use a jig and router for jointery, I'd try for a jig that lets you use a straight 5/16' cutter for the tails and pins of a basic box joint....etc etc. Pretty simple to do after that first set up. Oh yeah, it makes a huge mess on the floor and everywhere else within an 8 foot circle. Bruce |
