Lots of people seem to think the router dovetail jigs are complicated, and too much hassle to use and that they take too much time to set up. Sometimes people simply don't use them enough to remember all the set up procedure... Or they simply don't understand how they work. In this edition from the brainnfizz workshop I go through how router dovetail and box joint jigs operate, and how to understand the depth of cut and comb or template adjustments, the importance of the guide bush and copy ring to cutter relationship. Most dovetails jigs that cut half blind dovetail joints operate on the same simple principle and so although the jig used in this video specifically uses the Trend CDJ300 jig other jigs including the Harbour freight dovetail jig, the Woodstock W1099 Dovetail Jig, even models from from MLCS, the dakota dovetail jigs from Rutlands, Even big names like Rockler that have their own models of dovetail and box joint jigs, and the axcaliber models sold buy Axminster tools plus other brands from screw fix and tool station ALL operate on this same principle. This video will show you how your model router template and jig can be adjusted, trouble shooting your projects for the best possible results.
During the progression of the video I demonstrate how to make a half blind lapped dovetailed box from poplar as a showcase, and even show close up details of imperfections, flaws, and points that you should watch out for with your jigs for best possible results.
the very basic principles with router dovetail jigs and half blind router dovetail templates is being able to understand their operation and the relationship between what you're routing. if you understand this, setting up the jig is far easier meaning you can get far better results.
A very useful router tips video useful for any woodworker for their woodworking project, weather they are following plans or making from inspiration.

Thankyou so much for the video Richard, by far the most easy to understand and follow.
Props on breaking down the logic of how it works instead of just explaining how to use it! Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful! understanding its operation, means that troubleshooting and progressive use is far easier.
I've had the cdj600 in my shed unopened for 3 years now. I assembled it today for the first time thanks to you. Brilliant video so so so helpful thanks very much
Glad it helped
Good video for someone who keeps looking at his jig in the shed.....I am now tempted to have a go
DO IT!!! they're not as bad as some youtube woodworkers would have you believe! seriously...
Thank you to share your video. I have been watched lots dovetail reviews, but yours is very precisely, lots details, etc...the most important is that, you haven't hide any mistakes, everything was very clear...i like the way you post the video. Next step is buy my own dovetail. cheers
Glad it was helpful!
What an exalent video iam the same as some of the other viewers I've had this jig for 2 years unopened but today after buying a new trend router and this exalent film I've now made my first drawer and now have the confidence for the future thanks so much for your time. 👋👋👋👍
Always a pleasure! Glad it was of use….. really it’s not a difficult just to use!
Thanks for posting this. Best video I've seen on setting and using a jig.
Awesome, thank you! theres also a follow up for using out to do box or finger joints too.
One of the more comprehensive demonstrations I have seen.
+Jim Dockrell thanks Jim! 👍
I have one of these in the back of my garage and used it once. I feel better equipped today more to give it a second go. Thanks Richard.
+Andrew McQuillen drag it out and have a go!! You'll get to grips with it in no time!
Thank you ever so much for your very clear explanations; I am finally going to be able to use my jig again!!
Thanks Man! These kind of router jigs have had a real bashing from popular youtube woodworkers in the past, and honestly i think its just because they can't use them - because they don't fully understand HOW they work... They really are VERY simple to operate and adjust!!
Wow. Extremely thorough video. A lot of work but they look great and worth the effort.
Thanks, hope it was of use and you got some ideas and tips out of it! :-) Thanks for watching!!
Great video, I like how you share the mistakes as well. Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful! (there's always plenty of mistakes)! LOL!
Really helpful and clear advice
Just like to say mate I was nervous about using my jig for first time I wrote some notes down from this video and it was easy peasy thanks mate!
Yessss!!
That makes me so happy. Genuinely pleased that I was able to help. There are some “well renowned” “woodworkers” on CZcams that all day these jigs are complicated and that they take longer than doing it by hand because the amount of time it takes them to set up and re read/learn how to use them.
But as long as you use the right parts that came with the jig, and have even a rough grasp of how it operates, it’s so easy to use and fault find....
I’m really happy that it worked out for you, and that you took the time to let me know! Thanks👌👍👍👍
@@BrainFizz thanks mate yes I think writing the notes on the base board where you've mounted the jig is a great idea as you say once you get your head round the basics of how it works it's really not that complicated, the only issue I had (don't know if I was missing something) Was when swetting my Combe the bolt itself only had the one nylock nutt which I used to adjust the position of the Combe but then I had nothing to lock the bolt off and it altered from the position I was happy with so subsequently I used the nylock nutt I had to lock the bolt off and then I used some fine washers to adjust the position of my Combe I had some washer that went down to 0.1mm from a router bit set so I was able to dial it write in like this and in theory should never change now it's set up
Ivv do you use the nylok to set the bolt position they can still be altered over time y over tightening the wing nuts holding the comb. If you decide to change comes for different sizes and types of comb it will need to be changed again to suit the comb.
Nylok’s can also wear over time.
I've been preparing to use my dovetail jig to make an urn box for my mums ashes, I just bought a new dedicated freehand router for this purpose.
Thanks for the video, gives me hope that I can do it.
Take care
Rob
+Woodslee Summercraft Hmm not the nicest if projects to have to do.. my sympathies.
i know, it's not going to be easy for that reason alone, but mum loved my wood turning projects so it'll be the last thing that I can do for her
thanks
Rob
Really useful - thanks and great idea to make notes on the board
Of I don’t scribble notes on things like this I’ve forgotten it all in an hour! 😂
Little things like that takes the confusion out of it and speeds up fault finding no end!
I got 4 minutes in and paused to make a coffee, I could tell this was worth watching properly. Great video mate, best one I've seen on dovetail jigs, I've got a load of drawers to make and this was really helpful especially the explanation of the setup with the 15mm distance (for this particular jig). The whole video was great, one of the best I've seen in a long time, explanations throughout were really clear and useful.
Brilliant video
Thanks for that Richard, It was very useful and I may be able to set mine up now. I tried once and did a test cut but that was it.
Seriously, they're not complicated to set-up - they can be rather time-consuming if you're fussy, or too eager with the adjustments.
Watched a Festo jig vid, studied the instructions ...A on the left, B on the right..wound up with a half dovetail offset and less hair !. Thanks for a good explanation 👍
Pretty much all dovetail jigs work off the same principle, so once you figure out whats happening with what changes, it should be fairly straightforward to steer back to perfect fits! Hope your dovetails start fitting and your hair grows back..... you'll need the hair now as a measure of how close your fits are! ;-)
Great information as always Richard!
+Average Joe's Joinery veers Joe! Not quite as labour intensive as all those plywood rings but as much fun!😂😂
I bought one 25 years ago. I've never used it ! I'll dig it out tomorrow and fire up the router. Thanks.
Whaaaaat??!!?? Now you have no excuse!! LOL!!!
Same lol
Really helpful explanation. Thank you
You are welcome!
Very good explanation of the entire process. The sound seemed to get worse on the last half. Thanks
You're welcome thanks for watching!
Great video. Thank you. 👍
Pleasure Allen, hope it was of use to you?1
Great Video, lots to adjust but once dialled in looks good, ill dust mine off now !!!
theres actually only a couple of variables, and once its sorted, you're good to go!! much simpler than people make out!!
Really helpful, thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful! You’re welcome
Thank you so much for all the time and effort. Excellent video.
I did notice that when replacing the comb after scribing the reference line you had inadvertently managed to get the butterfly nut washer on the wrong side of the comb leg. Unlucky approximately 1mm cutting error straight away. You also had me puzzled about so much trial and error required to determined the depth of cut but it all became clear in your final comments - basically, ensure you very accurately scribe the comb reference at the exact thickness of vertical board. The jig takes care of everything thereafter.
Yes.
The washer gets me all the time! It’s a pain, but also an important component, so you kinda have to live with “need to remember which side it goes!”
Once you know what setting adjust what, these jigs are really quite easy to use careful, methodical testing to get your set up right, and away you go!
It really is a simple jig to use!
yeah, it gets me all the time! not just on this jig, but generally! :-)
I'm going to get a jig now.
Nice one :)
Have fun!
Very good vid thanks. Got half way through set up. Got a bit stuck. I thought Brian will have a vid on it and sure enough. Thanks again, super job.
Lol Did Brian have a video?😂😂
Thanks for the watch peter 👍
Although I have had to buy a fine adjuster and measury thing to get the job done
Peter Curtis you can’t really do dovetails without the fine height adjuster. You just end up chasing your tail otherwise. The heath gauges ares great, but you can also get away with a combination square
For the initial depth and micro adjust from there.
Thanks for that. As soon as I watched the vid I ordered the bits. Picking up the measury thing tomorrow from Axminster. Got to wait until Tuesday for adjuster. Hope it fits my router lol.
I've got the Trend CDJ300. I stupidly tried a test with ply. The joints weren't too bad a fit but there were bits flying everywhere resulting in gaps, unsmooth edges etc. I think, now I've seen your video, I've got a better understanding of the way it works which I didn't get from the Trend instructions or videos, It'll be better next time.
Better than the ones done by Trend :-) really good.
cdj 300 is by trend I thought
I don't have one of these....but if I do ever get one I'll definitely refer back to this video for reference. Nicely demonstrated Richard.....Nice one.
+Sharp Edge Woodworking they really are pretty simple to set up and adjust once you get your head around what's gong n..
Thanks
..may I ask you what router you use for the jig thanks, by the way excellent video !! nicely explained without the gimmicks
Great, great video 😀 at last i got the different adjusting explained.. hurrra 😊 Do you know why my side is 3 mill higher than the front ? Cant get this right🙃 kind regards from Denmark
Soren 🇩🇰
Thanks for this vid Richard. I have a dovetail jig still in its box to afraid to use it 🤣🤣
+nippychippy Rubbish get it out and crack on!!! You'll have a blast!!
Very well explained Richard 👍. I do own a jig since 1 year but did not really found the time to use it 🙄
+SAWBLADE PROJECTS get it out to play!
Yes Sawblade, I'm of a similar situation; only use it once in a blue moon. Yes Richard, I know I should get it out and play.
Very informative video. Do you have one for box joints
Yes! There’s is also a video showing using their jig to make boxjoints aswell.
PS, The thing I forgot to mention is you explained how to do four pieces to create a draw unlike the Trend video's . Good job :-)
LOL! Glad it was useful for you, once the jig is set up and you're happy with the results, box making is fairly quick and straight forward... t's actually quite a bit of fun!
Ok boy will do thanks
Hi boy I’ve used my nailer with the compressor now and it works great
Regards John
Sorry wrong person to say about the nailer too but I have got myself a premium though dove tail jig from Rutlands after watching you video cheers
Regards John
Enjyoed the video thank you.
Just for clarity ( So I can get my brain around it) Would I mark each board "A" at one end and "B" at the other? I would then put 2 "A" together on the right and router followed by putting 2 "B" together on the left hand side of the jig?
Finally could I put both the "A" and the "B" in at the same time to save time? so in other words have the left hand side and the right hand side clamped in at the same time or would that be bad practise?
Thanks again for a great video
Gary
you can clamp both left and right sides of the jig at the same time, but honestly, i rarely do for a couple of reasons:
The size of the jig can mean that two sides won't fit simultaneously.
and it can easily ad to confusion with multiple parts in the jig simultaneously.
the amount of time your already saving routing your dovetails, you're just as well (in my opinion), to keep a steady methodical pace rather than over cook the goose and end up wasting time through mistakes...... Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.
I'm intrigued as to how you came by the 17mm setting for the cutter, could you elaborate? On the whole I really did find this extremely useful since the Trend video itself doesn't explain what to do if the joint is too tight or loose, too shallow or too long etc... very well presented even though like all presenters you're trying hard to cover all eventualities and your speech is one step ahead of your brain causing you to stall, perfectly natural so don't worry if you stall briefly, trust me I know what it's like as I was a college lecturer for 36 years. Many thanks my friend, I look forward to watching more useful procedures.
17mm is the cutter depth setting for this jig. You get it from the instructions.
Although the jig will need set up with scraps, it’s the point at which you start is all.
Nothing exciting or mysterious.👍
I noticed you had adjustable threaded rod for infinite depth, my plunge router does not have this. Can a modification be purchased or can anyone advise re making modification.
I guess it would depend on the model of router you have.
hello. does the trend dovetail jig only do half blind joints, or can it do through dovetails? thank you.
Great question! The jig as you purchase it off the shelf arrives ready to cut blind dovetails (as per this video), however they sell other combs to cut 1/4” blind, 8mm & 1/2” box joints and also through dovetails as well..... these comes require a secondary purchase of the combs, and also the cutters to cut the various joints.
In short, yes......but at extra cost.
Thanks for the video, I have the same jig but never used it yet. Would I be right in thinking that if you want to avoid half a dovetail that you can (if it's an option) make the size of the stock up to the next tail or down to the previous ? If that makes sense.
I’m sorry I don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve.
Do you mean shadowed dovetails, or wider spacing s between them?
@@BrainFizz No, it was an issue with the size of the board, if it were 10mm or so wider you would get a full dovetail rather than half.
Right gotcha, yes, so if you want symmetrical tails centred with equal end pins, you can offset the boards to the set up/alignment pins.
Run a test piece first to get all the described settings spot on first as per the video, add up the waste to the size of the first end pin, divide that by two, cut your spacer and add it to the board......
More commonly is to simply mark the jig with the new datum point offset from the pin and put you parts in from there....
if you aiming for centred tails, chances are they’ll be close enough to centre, and far enough away from other corners to not need to be such as tight tolerance only need to “appear” centred compared to that corner👌
I happened to notice once he placed the jig top back on before his first test cut the washer was behind the bracket so that would have caused the jig to be roughly 2mm forwards.
Yeah I skewed it at the start…. If you look closely, I give it a confused look before sorting it out and squaring it up..
@@BrainFizz thankyou for such a great video, Im new to wood working and here to learn and your video has taught me 🙏
I'm a 20year welder and last time I did wood work was high school GCSE.
Like you I didn't have the patience and always got it wrong, with welding any errors get filled in and flushed off but metal looks cold, wood is warm and the grains look amazing
Do you have any tips on the craftsman jig that has two templates
Im unfamiliar with the craftsman brand, we don’t have it here in the UK - that said all the dovetail jigs work on exactly three same principle so the information here is totally transferable to your own brand of machine as the mechanics are identical.
very good video mate, helped me to decide to buy a jig, won't use it much as I'm just an old fart who likes wood working, any suggestions for a decent jig' once again, well done on a very helpful and well made video. from Garry , Barnsley UK
Cheers Garry! Once you have it set up, you'll want to use it more and more!!
Got mine set up today, it's an older version of yours, made the workshop look like a hamsters nest with all the sawdust! Interesting to see how much your jig bends and flexes as you cut, not helping accuracy. I will use it to make a hardwood case for a lyre harp I have been making. I'll look at the finger joint next. Thanks.
I’ve not actually noticed it flexing whilst I’m using it, but then I’m using it not watching me use it.🤷♂️🤷♂️
Although your video is 2 years old, it's still great to watch. Thanks!. What I was wandering, according the manual you had to setup the templates at 15mm. What happens if you want to use thinner or thicker wood?
Great question. I have 3/4" thick pine and wondered if the line is 15mm. 🤔
The jig allows for material of a range of thicknesses.. iirc it’s 11-25mm (roughly 1/2” - 1”)
Basically cause your cutting from the inside of the boxeoutwatds, the depth of your dovetails is the same, the increased timber thickness means there’s more uncut material on the outside. Too thin material and they’re not half blind, too thick the part doesn’t fit in the jig..... if you want thinner stock than 12mm there are 1/4” dovetail templates available.
3/4” stock is fine.
@@BrainFizz Thanks a lot mate. I bought a 3/4" thick long piece of pine today in order to make a small storage box. I've cut the 4 pieces on the table saw and set them aside. I then cut spare test pieces in order to get the CDJ600 jig set. Was proving to be a Krypton Factor job for me today (outside my small garage), then the relentless rain started. I plan to tweak adjustments tomorrow, including the Guide Pins on the right-hand side, in the hope I get it sorted and make my first item. Many Thanks! 👍
Keep your off cut pieces to rest your set up, you only need two longish bits and just cut off the ends as you test each time.👌👌
was the 16mm measurement 2mm out as you put the washer on the wrong side (against the lock nut, not the finger nut)?
It could well have been yes, I'm always getting the washers on the wrong side of the combs!
Oh also do you know of a good jig for cutting tenons and mortises for joints like say cross members between chair or bench legs? A few years back I bought a festool domino xl, great machine but had to sell it, its far too expensive to buy again so a good jig would not go amiss
+Mark Hobster there's a garden bench planter video that shows the mortise and tenon jig, I think somewhere there may also be a review/overview video of the jig too on my channel, that may help.
Richard Morley cheers fella ill take a look
Hi just a quickie you say you’ve not got much patient’s do you use it to that extent or do you do your draws and boxes a quicker simpler way
Regards John
I’ve not got the time or patience to stand and hand cut dovetails.
Routing Dovetails is far quicker and much more easily repeatable than any other method....
That what I meant by not having patience.
@@BrainFizz
ok so you would recommend getting one then been thinking about it for a time now and after seeing your video I will pop out tomorrow and get one cheers great video happy Christmas and let’s hope 2021 is a better year for everyone
Regards John
100% if you can use a router, or you’re willing to learn, which is really easy....... and you understand the principle of how this jig works (which you now should having just watched this video😂😂), then yes definetly recommend using one of these jigs over any other method.
I learned a lot watching this video, not having used one before. The only criticism I have is that your presentation is very disjointed. By that I mean it is not very smooth. It’s like I was when I gave my first lecture, being nervous. I watched it again but I increase the speed and it was a lot better.
Thank you, I have subscribed and will be back for more.cheers
You go too fast someone’s gif issue, you go too slow, some ones got issue. When you put out a few hundred videos on CZcams you soon find out that not everyone is happy😂😂
Would the T-4 trend router work with this Jig?
From memory, the T4 “will work”, but its a pain to work, as you need a fine height adjuster (an extra), next you need to set up the guide bush so it’s completely spoke on concentric to the cutters, which isn’t as simple as just putting it on the base, as the base is removable to the router - the unibase is one option, but then you loose depth of cut, T5 is the way to go, or the T18. T4 is a little limited from that perspective.
Hi there, does the guide bush fit the festool 1010 router?
You’d need to check the trend’s compatibility chart on their website, pretty sure though that Festool have their own guide bush fittings so you need the uni-base or GB5 sun base.
@@BrainFizz thank you for that, ....mmm crossed my mind that if you do not use the guide bush supplied with this jig the desired result will not work
Will this jig work with any router? I have a macallister msr 1200 router is this compatable with this jig?
Dan, according to trends website, your Mac requires a trend sub base to be fitted. It would need to be drilled out to fit you router and then attach the guide bush supplied with the jig.
This is really easy to do in a home workshop. If you want, you can get your Trend stockists to request that trend drill the base out for you in their workshop., most stockist don’t know this is possible👍
Trends website has a “compatibility” tab top left on the home screen, which list loads of routers, and also saws for their saw blade range. It’s actually a really good source of reference💡
For the MSR1200 you'll need to use a subbase to attach the correct guide bush.
all jigs are cutter/guidebush specific, and since the jig uses an odd sided guide bush (15.8mm), without it, the cuts won't line-up.
Very instructional video. Thanks. However, the sound was a bit poor.
+Cees Tax thanks for the feedback, in what way?
Distortion of sound from about half way through - when you changed the camera position to the window side. Thanks for the video - confirms that I will get a jig.
Richard Morley, see the answer Mark gave. Distortion somewhere in the middle and further on.
If possible, the size of the device I am from Egypt and the product is not available to us and I need it yesterday I am a wheelchair on a wheelchair and help me in the work so much, please accept the sizes. Thank you
sorry for the slow reply, this is the jig I use: amzn.to/2K9ABDH hope this helps.
I was hoping you would spot it. You set the comb board with the washer next to the nut, then reattached it with the washer on the other side . . . that was your 2mm protrusion. Your video cut down my learning time with the CDJ600.
LOL!! I think I mess the washers up at least once in a project. you can super glue them to the combs, assuming you only have one ( i also have the box/finger joint combs, which is why i haven't glued them on.... the 600's are ace! really popular in scandinavia i understand!
@@BrainFizz Brilliant video mate and so well detailed, which I really needed. I've just recently got the CDJ600 and watched a couple of basic videos on CZcams to get an idea of set-up & use. However, your video is the best and I have saved it as a Go-To. Now also subscribed. Thanks for sharing and all the extra tips & advice. 👍 💯%
Hiya cheers for making and uploading this vid, just a couple of things though, to tighten and loosen the fingers you said you raise or lower the cutter, when you say tighten and loosen I assume you mean to make them easier to fit together? I dont see how that would work as thats not making the fingers thinner or fatter only making them longer or shorter, might be a stupid thing ive just written.
Also typo in your description I know you dont spend your time sexting up an inanimate object lol
+Mark Hobster yes, raising or lowering the cutter position make the joint tighter/looser to fit.... because they are wedge shaped, the wedge is either loose or tight.
I'll check the description.😂
Richard Morley thanks buddy 👍
Mark Richard is correct, I only wish I could draw here to explain better as a picture is worth a 1000 words. But cut a through single dove tail in some scrap. put tail in slot, now pull the tail upwards and it tightens, push it down and it loosens. Does that make any sense ?
the only one worth a candle is the leigh jig, fast, accurate and adjustable.
That's a very sweeping statement. I would agree that the leigh jig is very good, but it's going to boil down to what an end users requirements are. The CDJ300/600 is much quicker and simpler to set up than the leigh. Particularly if through and/or shadow through dovetails aren't a requirement. for the average home workshop the leigh (or the old DC400 by trend) are overkill.
simply put it's down to usage.
Audio gets difficult to understand, but good video.
+The Aussie Manhole thanks for letting me know.
ساكون شاكرا لك لو ترجمت لنا الفيديو الى اللغة العربية سواء بالكتابة او الدبلجة
It would be nice i know, but unfortunately it's just not possible for me to do that.
@@BrainFizz طيب شكرا لاهتمامك
Your demo demonstrates why using a jig is too much hassle unless you are building a decent quantity of boxes/drawers in one session otherwise it’s quicker hand cutting the dovetails.
Thanks for making and uploading the video all the same.
+Steve Kent A decent quantity, would be four corners. 😂😂😂
Steve Kent yeah it looks a pain to setup the first time but for someone like myself who tends to go very overboard with projects... When I start making some furniture for my house I will be finger jointing every flipping join even when not needed, like a hidden cross member that will never be seen for strength under a cabinet top will be finger jointed when just screws and washers would do ;)
The hastle as with anyones purchase is only a hastle for the first tests on scrap, once perfect then it doesnt matter of they build 1 box a year or 2 years, they know the jig is already setup and the height of the cutter is written on the board 👍
I forgot, you are not wearing ear protection, I have really bad tiniest. Industrial deafness. Please protect your self, I miss so much, especially birds songs, and I now I don’t go to the pub because it’s so hard to understand what people are saying. That’s my bit for today.
I don’t wear ear plugs using a hand held router, (particularly in demonstration videos), because the exposure time of the noise is so short.
When you look at the health and safety guidelines relating to hearing protection, even loud noises don’t require protection if the exposure duration is short. Equally much lower levels over a longer duration DO require protection….. also who wants to watch a video of someone putting on and taking of ear plugs…… people would start commenting about being too slow and assume I’m nervous.
I also don’t go to the pub, but for very different reasons. 😂😂
@@BrainFizz My wife was the one who picked up that you didn't have hearing protection. She can tell you how frustrating it is repeating everything twice .
and I don't think anyone will be unhappy with you taking the time to take your protection off.
I would give the earth for someone to give me back my hearing. My tinitus is screaming day and night. my hearing aid just makes it worse. two reasons i don't go to the pub, 1 i don't drink, 2 it's just far too nosey. as i said i have subscribed. cheers Wiz
Used these type of jigs years ago making expensive furniture always a bugger to set up. Very good advice if not used for a while to practice on scraps and test setup. Or just buy a pocket drill Jig!!! (joking)
These jigs are really easy to set up.
If your making runs of furniture they’d probably get set up once and only need messing with if you replaced the router bit for a new one.
