I am trying to work with an old Reliant half blind dovetail jig. The instructions, which are not very clear, call call out for a 1/2 inch dovetail bit.
The comb spacing is 1/2 inch. If I use a guide collar the instructions call out for a guide collar of 7/16 OD. If I use a 1/2 inch dovetail bit with a bearing guide is the bearing guide itself less than a half an inch (like the 7/16 guide collar).
Does anyone know if a 1/2 inch dovetail bit with a bearing guide will fit between the fingers of this jig (which I assume is like most jigs, if not as well made or designed).
Thanking you in advance.
