Through Dovetails
D4R Pro - CHAPTER 8
In these instructions for the Leigh D4R Pro Dovetail Jig, we have recommended certain bits and board sizes because
they are easy to work with. When you have routed some practice joints and gained confidence in your ability to
get the results you want, free to use the guidebush and adaptor selection charts in Appendix I, pages 69-70, and
bit options in Appendix II, pages 71-77, to plan whatever dovetail routing you need for your projects.
