Trend Dovetailing Centre

Trend Dovetailing Centre 400mm (Akeda design)

• For use with medium to heavy duty routers.
• Our DC400 dovetail centre is the breakthrough you have been waiting for. It is the world's first variable layout dovetail jig that is completely free of adjustment. You can change through dovetails to lapped dovetails; adjust the pin and tail guide finger positions, and change work-piece thickness all without adjustment. Now you can have the professional look of hand cut dovetails without the hassles of a complicated jig.
• Two guide rails provide full support for your router base, so you do not have to balance your router on the edge of guide fingers as per conventional jigs.
  
  
• Carbon fibre finger guides click directly into the rear guide rail, engaging in an index strip at increments of 2.5mm. This guarantees true repeatability and means you can restore or reposition guide fingers with absolute accuracy.
• There are three types of pin guide; angled pin guides for cutting through dovetail pins are available in five different angles from 7 up to 20 degrees. Common fork-shaped tail guides for cutting through and lapped tails; and the straight sided pin guides for cutting lapped pins.
  
  

53 Piece Accessory kit available separately

• Fully enclosed body with a removable window ensures routed waste is directed away from the operator and provides good visibility. The optional snap-in waste collection kit will also remove almost 100% of the waste.
• Clamping channels with two independent parallel clamping bars require only a single hand to operate, enabling the free hand to position the work-piece. The clamping bars and integral side fences are positioned close to the machining area, to ensure total security.

Put simply, this is the best jig of its type for a wide variety of joints, due to its total adjustment free design, yet with great flexibility of set-out.  Like most of the products in our range we own and use this jig in our own workshop.
