Dovetail Jig
Mt 1/2 blind dovetails are too tight what do I do?
I am using a new jig (a cheapo) and they are close but just about a16th tight. What am I adjusting wrong?
I had my old jig(not a cheapo) dialed in and I can’t remember how I did it.
Thanks IA
You need to adjust the height of the bit. Heighten = Tighten Lower = Loosen. See the link below for instructions and a picture. Most jigs work the same way.
