Dovetail jig instructions needed

[brianhabby]

Hi there,

I have a second hand dovetail jig with no instructions - can anyone help me use this thing.

It has a NuTool badge on it but I have seen similar models in other manufacturers catalogues

I tried looking on the NuTool website to see if I could download the instructions but their site is 'Under Construction'.

I would put a picture of it here if I could work out how to do it...!

If anyone could help with that also...?

Thanks in advance for any help that may be available.

regards

Brian

Hello Brian, I am not sure if this is the one you mean but they are all pretty much the same item from the Far East labeled differently. I think this is the same as the Nu Tool one which I also have. Try this site although American might be worth a look: http://images.rockler.com/tech/RTD10311373AA.pdf

Brian, try here under routing - DTJ or CDTJ might be applicable.

Cheers, Alf

Brian,

Easy bit first, take a look here for help on posting pictures.

For the dovetailer instructions, try looking here on the Axminster site, look in the routing drop down, there are a couple of models, see which one looks closest to yours.

Mailee and Alf,

Thanks for the links, they both look good. I'll print them out and have a read,

Dave, easy bit.....?

I'll have to study this uploading pictures a bit more

Thanks to all for the help. If I work out how to use the jig and also work out how to upload some pictures I might let you see the drawer I plan to make,

Many thanks

Brian
