Single Pass
Half-Blind Dovetails
D4R Pro - CHAPTER 11
Why rout “single pass” dovetails on a variable spaced Leigh jig? Well, you just may need to reproduce or restore a
late 19th or early 20th century drawer which has similar, machine made joints. Or, if you are making a lot of drawer
boxes and are not so concerned with the traditional “hand cut look”, then routing both drawer fronts and sides
together does go a little faster.
