The new D4R-24 jig features a one piece aluminum extrusion base with machined-in non-marring textured clamping surfaces and machined-in side stops on the top and front of the jig body. The top-side stops have a 3/8" recess for rabbeted boards. The D4R easily produces handmade looking dovetail pins and tails. Perfect fitting joints for tiny boxes or large case pieces can be produced in a variety of patterns by simply changing the adjustable guide fingers. Wooden pieces are clamped into the jig quickly and easily with the cam action clamps which can be adjusted for different stock thickness or used to repeat the same clamp tension instantly. Through or half-blind dovetails can be easily set up by simply flipping the finger assembly over. Jigs are meticulously engineered and constructed. Accepts boards up to 24" wide. Maximum pin thickness 1-1/4". Includes three carbide router bits, a 1/2" D x 8 degree x 8mm dovetail bit and a 5/16" x 1" x 8mm straight bit for through dovetails, and a 1/2" D x 14 degree x 8mm dovetail bit for half-blind dovetails.
