THE FOUR SCALE MODES
The Finger Assembly attaches to the support brackets in four
different modes to match the type of joint you are cutting.
Note: Inch scales are shown
here. Millimeter scales have
identical layout.
The active scale is always
on the right of each scale
assembly.
The inactive scale is always on
the left of each scale assembly
and is upside down.
Scales are color coded.
Silver background for
Through Dovetails.
Green background for Half-
Blind Dovetails.
The specific settings for each
scale are fully described in
the appropriate chapters.
Each scale has its own mode
icon (a drawing of the joint
part made in that mode).
This index line is used when setting the finger assembly
scales. The line is illustrated in red for clarity, but is black
on the jig.
Always read scales from
directly overhead to avoid
parallax problems.
All D4R Pro jigs are shipped
with “short” support brack-
ets.
