IMPORTANT! The most commonly misunderstood aspect of routing half-blind dovetails is how the dovetail bit’s
depth of cut is used to adjust the joint fit, and how the angle of the bit affects that depth of cut. Review this chapter
for a clear understanding of this concept.
Note: Use the e7-Bush set at “10”, or any round ~
7
/16"[~11,1mm] bush (min. depth
1
/4" see page 67), and any
one of the five bits listed on the next page may be used for half-blind dovetails. See Appendix II “Half Blind Bit
Selection” for a full description on how to select an appropriate bit.
