Woodsmith Router Table Dovetail Key Jig Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
Mitered corners on a box give a nice, clean look. But a glued up mitered joint isn’t all that strong. A great way to provide extra strength is to add dovetail-shaped hardwood keys across the corners. The challenge comes in accurately positioning and cutting the slots for the keys. This jig securely holds the project at the correct angle while you make the cuts with a dovetail bit on the router table.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Router Table Dovetail Key Jig standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
Dovetail keys are a great way to strengthen a miter joint. This jig takes the hassle out of cutting the slots for the keys.
