Jet 12 Master Dovetail Jig Manual
MLCS self spacing edge guides allow precise offset for perfectly aligned joints. Includes our 12' steel jig, six solid aluminum templates, three guide bushings (5/16', 3/8' and 5/8'), six carbide tipped router bits (1/4'-8°, 1/2'-14°, 3/4'-14° dovetail and 1/4', 3/8' and 1/2' straight) and detailed instruction manual. The steel beams of our dovetail jig secure both work pieces snugly. Since both sides of the half-blind dovetail joint are cut at the same time, a perfect fit is assured for each joint.
Detailed instructions are included for each template and joint. Good value (3/5), Feb 13, 2013By Peter Butzin(Tallahassee FL US)The biggest plus for this system is that it is reasonably priced. With practice and patience it will produce the desired joinery.Based on several years of using the system. However, a few words of caution are in order.First the written directions are really bad. I actually had to download the instructions for the Porter Cable dovetail machine and templates to figure out how to use the MLCS System. Although the products are quite different those instructions supplemented those that came with the system. I notice that videos are now available, which likely area big improvement.Second, the bars don't hold the stock vary well.
I improved the machine by adding some steel reinforcing bars at my local hardware store. The fix was easy, and reaulted in stiffening the bars, but I would have preferred to have avoided the need for modification in the first place.Third, the knobs that are used to tighten those flimsy bars have failed several times. If you over-tighten, the metric nuts within the plastic knobs strip. But, it's easy to over-tighten, because it's almost impossible to adequately hold the stock in place. Because the knobs are metric, the only source I was able to find was by calling MLCS, which, thankfully, is able to provide replacements at a reasonable cost. (Incidentally, if the stock slips even slightly, the process will fail miserably.The bottom line is that if MLCS provided a beefed up system for holding the stock in place, even if those improvements cost a few extra dollars, I would have given this item 5 stars. There are better jigs out there, but they are much more expensive.
I'm satisfied that I have made lots of drawers and several pieces of fine furniture using the MLCS System. Includes 5/8' router guide bushing and self-spacing edge guides. Sets up fast! This easy to use solid aluminum template and steel jig is precisely machined for creating strong, secure and accurate half blind dovetail joints or half-blind rabbeted dovetail joints. This is the perfect solution for sturdy boxes and drawers with the classic dovetail joint design.The solid aluminum template is CNC machined. The steel beams secure both work pieces snugly. Works for 1/2' to 1' thick drawer sides and 5/8' to 1' thick drawer fronts (up to 12' high).Since you cut both sides of the half-blind dovetail joint at the same time, a perfect fit is assured for this joint.
Self-spacing edge guides allow perfect offset for precise joint alignment. The detailed instruction manual guides you from initial setup through final assembly.(PDF).
Worth the work (4/5), Jun 13, 2016By Michael Raugh(Laurel MD US)Received this as a gift a year or so ago. I had a very hard time with it at first because the instructions weren't clear and I had a heck of a time trying to tighten the front clamp knobs because the plastic knobs for the clamp bar kept hitting the ends of the threaded rods for the template when I clamped 1/2 inch stock. Gave up, set it aside for a while until I had a project where I wanted a lot of dovetailed drawers.After attaching a piece of 5/16' scrap stock to the back side of the front clamp bar and a pair of nylon washers under the knobs, I can now tighten the front bar without scraping the template position studs. Very careful re-reading of the manual and a couple hours of fiddling, testing, and adjusting got me to where I could reliably, accurately produce a drawer box with half-blind 1/2 inch dovetails at each corner in about 10 minutes.
Once I got it dialed in it stayed that way and proved very quick and easy to use.Any time you change the setup for a different joint type you should expect to have to spend time tweaking and adjusting and making test joints until the fit is right. That's true of ANY dovetail jig. Follow the manual's advice, and once you have it set up just right grab a block of wood and trace the outline of the template on it so you can return to that setting easily later.I knocked off one star for the annoying front clamp problem and for leaving it up to me to figure out how to adjust the spacer to get a clean half pin at the start of the joint. Otherwise, though, now that I've had a chance to get to know the jig and use it for real, I'm quite happy with it. Basic Dovetail Jig (4/5), Jan 3, 2013By Daniel Penn(Ava MO US)This dovetail jig works well but it took a long time to set up, but once I got it set up it worked well for the price.I used it for making six oak drawers for an entertainment center. I would recommend this jig if you were not going to use it very much because it is fairly time consuming to use. It is a very basic jig with no bells and whistles, the clamping system is less than ideal but seems to work ok.
The adjustments are fairly straight forward but not super easy to adjust.
