INTRODUCTION
o Your Sears/Craftsman industrial Dovetail Fixture is an accessory used with your Router to allow you to make drawers, chests, and the like where dovetail joints are used to join the front, back, and sides of the workpiece. The Dovetail Fixturewig allow you to make 1" spaced flush 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 be accommodated. Workplace thicknesses between318"and 1" can be accommodated, 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 PURCHASED SEPARATELY, re required to make the THROUGHor a OPENjoints. Sears/Craftsman router bit, #25505 or #26318, WHICH MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY, required for making the haIf-bIind joints. is Eachtemplate has a label, describing the joint that can be cut, along with set up information, the bit and guide bushing required, and the stop block setting for a particular joint. The Dovetail Fixture can be used with al! Sears/Craftsman Routers. With a separately purchasedSears/Craftsman#25326, Universal Router Adapter,the DovetagFixture can be usedwith many nonCraftsman Routers, such as, Black & Decker,Makita, and SkiL
