1. Before cutting your 3/8” deep dovetail slot, we recommend cutting a 1/4” wide by 5/16” deep relief groove on a table saw or with a 1/4” router bit. This greatly reduces the wear and stress on the dovetail bit, greatly extending its lifespan, and helps to ensure straight slots. A

2. Create a dovetail groove in your workpiece using a router with the 1/2” diameter, 14º dovetail router bit. B

When cutting the dovetail slot, center the bit on the relief groove and set the depth of cut to 3/8”. This will create the slot needed to hold the Dovetail Clamp securely below the surface of the part.

3. The head of the MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp is forged 1/2” wide with 14º angles on each side so it slides easily within a 1/2”x14ºx3/8” deep dovetail that you cut wherever needed. C
