Title: Dovetails in Boards Wider than 12 Inches
Review: In reading some of the reviews, several readers expressed frustration with the manual. There is a supplementary manual that you can download off the internet that provides more setup information. I used that manual in cutting dovetails on a 16 1/4" wide board using their suggestion about adding a 1/4" to boards that are inches wide, i.e. 1", 2", 3" etc. for a good looking finished product. However, while the jig is good quality & fairly easy to set up, measuring pins is time consuming with a lot of trial & error once you exceed the 12" board width when using the template with the suggested jig, a 2" X 3" X 19" board squared on all sides. You better have a joiner. I found that those dovetail cuts made within the first 12" are excellent but the additional cuts are tricky when aligning the first pin with the last dovetail cut. Trial & error is required!
