Porter Cable Dovetail Jig Tutorial 2, Making Improvements to the Jig.

A follow up to a short video about the Porter Cable Series 4200 dovetail router jig. Over the years I have found that the dovetail jig has a lot of great features but in order to be effective it needs several improvements. This video outlines those improvements.

    Very impressive innovations in your jig modification skills. I would guess that your audience would be woodworkers who make bucketfuls of casework but would exclude hobbyists like me who make one-off pieces infrequently. The jig set-up and change-over time when making through dovetail work would be offset by handwork that incorporates shape variation(several different degrees of angle), joint personality differences since woodworkers have their own perceptions about what a joint should look like. Your video is such a good example of the plethora of approaches that typify the current woodworking community.

    I have the same Porter Cable jig and have found that the instructions for setting the depth of cut for a through dovetail are not accurate. The 3/8" gap between the bottom of the template and the top of the depth stop as written in the manual appears to be correct for half-blind or miter dovetails but not for through dovetails. For through dovetails, I think that the depth of cut for the tails should be equal to the thickness of the pin board and the depth of cut for the pins should be equal to the thickness of the tail board. Is that how you set your depth of cut? Thanks
