E N G L I S H
● Centre the tails of the fi rst joint section between the fi ngers of the
template. Clamp the workpiece into place using the front vice.
● Slide the right offset guide to the left until it is fl ush against the
workpiece. Fasten the offset guide (9).
● Remove the fi rst joint section.
● Clamp the second workpiece in the vertical position (fi g. G2).
Make sure that the workpiece is fl ush against the template and the
right offset guide. Make sure that the outside of the workpiece faces
the operator.
● Clamp the piece of scrap material in position fl ush against the
workpiece to ensure that the template cannot defl ect while the joint is
being routed.
● If necessary, adjust the cutter depth using the "TAILS" depth guide
(30) (fi g. D2).
● Rout the pins with the guide bush against the left side of the fi ngers
of the template, both in and out. Applying light pressure towards the
left will help to prevent loose joints.
● Remove the workpiece when fi nished.
● Assemble the joint.
● The tightness of the joint fi t can be adjusted by varying the amount of
pressure exerted towards the left during the operation.
Routing sliding dovetails (fi g. A2, D2, F2, H1 & K1 - K3)
Sliding dovetails (also known as dovetail dados) are used primarily in
the construction of shelving and cabinets.
The attachment features 3 preset stops for dado depths of 6.35 mm
(1/4"), 9.5 mm (3/8") and 12.7 mm (1/2") (fi g. D2). However, any depth
of dado required can be manually created by adjusting the depth setting
on your router.
Routing the dado board (A in fi g. F2)
● Make sure to prevent the cutter from contacting the base of the
attachment.
● Mark the centreline (49) of the dado location on the workpiece
intended for the dado board.
● Mark two lines (50) running parallel at 9.5 mm to each side of the
centreline
● Place the workpiece in the horizontal position. Make sure that the
markings face the operator.
● Mount the template (40). Make sure that the tenon side faces the
operator.
● Align the two markings exactly with the edges of the slot (51).
● Fit dovetail cutter type A (15) and guide bush type A (17) on the
router using a guide bush adaptor plate as required (fi g. A2).
● Adjust the cutter depth using the selected depth guide (33) (fi g. D2).
Alternatively, set the required depth of dado on your router.
● Carefully rout along the slot from left to right.
● Remove the workpiece when fi nished.
@
In case of routing a deep dado, pre-cut the dado with a
straight cutter before routing with the dovetail cutter.
Routing the tenon board (B in fi g. F2)
It is recommended to fi rst make a trial cut using scrap material to ensure
correct settings.
● Place a piece of scrap material of the same thickness as the dado
board in the horizontal position (fi g. K3).
● Place the workpiece intended for the tenon board in the vertical
position. Make sure that the edge of the workpiece is fl ush with the
bottom of the template.
● Make a fi rst shallow cut working from right to left across the face of
the board to reduce chipping.
● Make a second cut working the router and guide bush along the
template edge from right to left to form the profi le.
● Remove the tenon board and turn it through 180°. The cut side of the
tenon board will now face the base of the attachment.
32
● Repeat the routing operations as described above.
● Remove the workpiece when fi nished.
● Check the joint.
● If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
- For joints that are too tight, move the template away from the
operator and recut the tenon board.
- For joints that are too loose, move the template toward the
operator and cut a new tenon board.
DE6215 Miniature dovetailing template
With this template the attachment is suitable for miniature versions of
dovetails. The template provides for through, half-blind and box joints of
exactly half the joint spacing of the standard templates.
The package contains:
1 Dovetailing template
2 Brackets
1 Dovetail cutter type C (7.14 mm (9/32"); cutting angle 7°)
1 Straight cutter type D (7.95 mm (5/16"))
1 Guide bush and lock nut type C (9.5 mm (3/8"))
1 Guide bush and lock nut type D (7.95 mm (5/16"))
1 Depth guide bracket
2 Offset guides, silver
1 Depth knob
1 Hex nut
6 Screws
1 Allen key
The following accessories are supplied with the template (fi g. A3):
22 Dovetail cutter type C
23 Straight cutter type D
24 Guide bush and lock nut type C
25 Guide bush and lock nut type D
To assemble the template:
● Mount the brackets on the dovetailing template with the screws.
Use the supplied Allen key to fasten the screws.
● Mount the depth guide on the template with the screws. Use the
supplied Allen key to fasten the screws.
To prepare the dovetailing attachment:
● Replace the standard black offset guides with the silver offset guides.
To use the dovetailing attachment with the miniature template (fi g. H1):
In operation, the template (42) is identical to the standard dovetails.
However, make the following part substitutions:
● For the tails of through dovetails, use the "TAILS" side (47) of the
template with dovetail cutter type C and guide bush type C. Take
care to align workpieces with the "TAILS/BOX" alignment line (43).
● For the pins of through dovetails, use the "PINS" side of the template
(48) with straight cutter type D and guide bush type D.
● For half-blind dovetails and rebated half-blind dovetails, use the
"TAILS" side (47) of the template with dovetail cutter type C and
guide bush type C. Take care to align workpieces with the "HALF-
BLIND" alignment line (44).
● For box joints, a 6.35 mm (1/4") straight cutter (not supplied) is
required. Use the "TAILS" side (47) of the template with a 6.35 mm
(1/4") straight cutter and guide bush type C.
Maintenance
Your attachment has been designed to operate over a long period of
time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
