DOVETAIL BIT HW S=6 D=7,9X6 18 DEG HOFFMANN W2

The beautifully crafted dovetail joint is a classic that appeals to both professionals
and novices alike. Admired for its attractiveness in box and exposed joint projects,
the dovetail is remarkably strong and functional.
CMT dovetail bits are available in 25 different sizes so you can stretch your creativity
to the limit.
See the illustrations on the next page for dovetail joinery possibilities.
CMT dovetail bits are designed to fit all popular jigs including Leigh®, Keller®,
JoinTECH® and Omnijig® systems. You are sure to find the bit you are looking for
in our vast selection of cutting sizes and angles.
Check the overall length of the bit before placing an order to be sure you get the
size you need - CMT makes bits specifically to fit on jigs and routers that require
a longer shank length.

Shop Tips:
two passes are recommended when routing dovetails with a template.
Check that the dovetails have been cut through completely and smoothly before
removing the workpiece.
For even easier routing and less stress on your dovetail bit, run the first pass with
a straight bit. Use a dovetail on your router table equipped with a fence to achieve
difficult chamfer angles.

Safety Tips:
if a dovetail bit jams while working, adjust the position of the bit in
the collet and make sure the cutting depth is correct. Do not lift the router out
of the template.
