VS600 Jointing System — Procedure for Half Blind Dovetails

A Step by Step Procedure for these templates: SZ14 and SZ20

Template SZ14 - Half Blind Dovetail

for wood thickness .63 - .79" (26-20mm)*

Cutters: 490 991 (HSS); 490 990 (carbide)

Template SZ20 - Half Blind Dovetail

for wood thickness .63 - .79" (26-20mm)*

Cutters: 490 991 (HSS); 490 990 (carbide)

* wood thickness measurements refer to front/back

piece only - sides can be thinner.

Install the copying ring. The ring should be the

one that came with the SZ14 or SZ20

template or one that fits in the template

grooves exactly.

Install the appropriate bit in the router.

Install SZ14 Template. Before tightening

locking knobs, be sure the alignment shoulders

on underside are touching the base.

Rotate end stops so that SZ14 is pointing to

wood edge.

I lower the template and adjust the two black

positioners so they are in the "D" window.

I move the black positioner left and right until

the arrows are touching the flat side of the "D"

and lock it in that place.

This is the drawing from the Manual. You

should mark the pieces of your box

accordingly.

I have laid out the test drawer and have

numbered everything the exact same way.

Position the front/back piece in the horizontal

clamp with insides facing up. The "A"

corners will be on the left; the "B" on the right.

Position the sidepiece with the inside edge

facing front and touching the underside of the

template.

Make sure the front/back piece is touching the

backside of the sidepiece end.

Zero router by placing it on the template and

plunge the bit until it "kisses" the top of the

wood. Lock the plunge.

Move the plunge rod to the 12mm position.

This is the recommended start depth for use

with this template.

I move the router over where it is still on the

template but no wood is beneath. I plunge to

the preset point and lock the plunge setting.

I also adjust the dust hood so that it allows

free movement of the router on the template

— including room to cut the tails.

It doesn't take long to run the router for both

the "A" and "B" joints. I have made a very

light pass from right to left (climb cut) — this

will reduce tear out. Then, guide the router

into each of the fingers.

Test fit the pieces. They are exact. I did spray

paint the "A" front side for a contrast —

otherwise, these photos are unretouched.

This template can do great drawers. At the

right, the front joint is with 3/4" front and 3/4"

sides. Since many cabinets have drawers with

1/2" sides and 3/4" fronts, the upper example

is just that and did not require any change to

the set-up.

It can even do 1/2-blind dovetails with a

rabbet front.
