D4R Pro - CHAPTER 13
End-On-End
Dovetails
47
While you have the router set up for half-blind dovetails, it is a good time to try end-on-end dovetails.
If you have not yet routed half-blind dovetails or read through chapter 11, please do so now before
attempting end-on-end dovetails.
13-1 End-on-end dovetails are made in the same modes as half-
blind joints, but both boards are routed vertically in the front clamp,
alternately face side in and then face side out
j
. Boards for end-
on-end joints may be up to
3
⁄4"[20mm] thick.
Use only the guidebush, dovetail bits and depths of cut as
specified in Chapter 10 or Appendix II.
13-2 The end-on-end dovetail is laid out in the
H
HB TAILS
mode. There is a special mark on the scale for end-on-end dovetails.
Align the support bracket line with the small arrow as shown. Adjust
the guidefingers as required.

for routing one end face side in and one end face side out. Keep
the same edge against the side stop for both ends.
13-4 Rout the tails on each end of the tail boards.
