INTRODUCTION
o Your Sears/Craftsmanindustrial Dovetail Fixture is an accessory used with your Routerto allow you to make drawers, chests, and the like
where dovetail joints are used to join the front, back,and sides of the workpiece.
TheDovetail Fixturewig allow you to make 1" spacedflush and flush offset and 318"rabbeted haif-bfind dovetail joints, in addition you can
make 1" spaced (or open) dovetail joints.
• Workplace widths up to 16" can beaccommodated.
Workplacethicknesses between318"and 1" can beaccommodated,
The Dovetail Basehas six pockets molded into its front which are gauges to aid you in setting the "depth-of-cut" for commonly used
depths: 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4'1,7/8", and 1".
The Dovetail Fixture comes with two templates andtwo guide bushings for making bait-blind and through or open joints.
Sears/Craftsman router bits, #25414 and#25415, WHICH MUST BE PURCHASEDSEPARATELY,are required to make the THROUGHor

ALIGNMENTOFTHETEMPLATES
In orderfor the DovetailFixtureto functionproperly,it is necessaryfor thetemplatesto bealignedwithrespectto dovetailbase.The
reasonfor this, isthatdovetailcutsareat both endsof the DovetailFixture.Whenproperlyaligned,the resultbeingall matingcorners
