Ok so I'm a bottom feeder and do not have a top of the line dovetail jig.... (mine was lost in a shop fire several years ago.. Now i have an e-z dovetailing jig from general $39.00... Supposedly
this has and will make really adequate dovetails ...however that ain't happening here...
i have watched the attached videos for learning the methods... Not too informative ... I 've also posted to another web site asking for guidance got some --also got some misinformation ...
What i need or would like to get is some measurements on bit height and settings on the pockets...(I'm currently concentrating on 1/2 blind dovetails...
Also i'm using a router table with the jig -not sure if that changes the measurements...
for 3/4 inch boards i've used 7/8 bit setting and 1 1/4 soccket setting which worked very well... but the 1/2 inch settings just aren't working ...i need some figures to allow me to sneak up on the final settings perhaps there is a formulae i need to know... any help is appreciated ..I'm close to sending this machine to the great re cycling place in the dump
Thanks
