Thank you. You can only cut what the bit will reach. And you have the thickness of the template to account for too. Probably 3/4 at most

@collectpanda3350 I do it freehand. I don't know if there is a support for curved chisels under a WS3000. Some grinders have after market supports.

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy36795 year old video, 10 minute response time. Thank you sir

Thank you

Lol. It's a hillbilly thang

Yes your box size is somewhat limited in size by how far you mount the jig in relation to the floor. Not sure I am understanding the rest of your question. You can do through dovetails, halfblind dovetails, sliding and stopped dovetails and box joints with this jig. I have videos of all of those. Maybe email me a picture of what you are talking about and ill see if I can't figure it out

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 I meant Instead of doing a 90 degree corner joint, can you do a flush dove tail joint... a joint between two boards that are flush, no corner, no angle i.e. taking two boards and making it into one board with a dove tail joint to join them?

@WithoutTroy oh ok. I see what your saying. You can't with the jig. You will probably have to hand cut those. You could cut your dovetails with the jig but you would still have to hand cut the pins side do extend a boards length like that

You are welcome. Thanks for watching

Hope it helps. I have a Playlist for this jig if you are interested

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 Absolutely - and many thanks (again)

Thank you. It means a lot to hear that

Yes. Just the pins are adjustable. The tails are cut by the bit passing through the work piece straight so there is no adjusting them. The pins are adjustable. When you move the template forward and backwards it will allow sizing the pins. Moving the pin template backwards, or away from you allows a wider range of the template over the work piece. The tail template has straight tines, so there is no adjustments to the tails

Thanks. I use that one a lot. It works great.

Thank you. My wife bought me those jet clamps several yrs ago. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have them. They are good clamps but way to expensive. I have an abundance of clamps brands. Never did stick to one particular brand.

You always mark center of your work piece and line it up with the center or the tines. This will allow for room, evenly on both sides for the outside pins to go or half pins. You should not have the ends or edges of the board falling under a tine. Make some test material the same size as you actual work piece and use Chad's Template as instructed and you shouldn't have any problems. Let us know how it goes

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 Thanks Tracy. That makes sense.

Thank you. I just do it the way I did because that is what works for me. I have a Playlist on this jig if you are interested

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 fair enough. Why change something that works. Yes, I've seen your other videos on the jig. Great content and saved to my favourites!

Thank you. I have a complete playlist on this jig if your interested

Thank you. I have a Playlist of videos on this jig if you are interested in checking them out

Anything on the Leigh RT400J for half blind dovetails? I have 5/4 walnut, that I have left 1/2 inch for the half blind dovetail (for the drawer front)

@monteaustin1006 No I sure don't. Sorry. 5/4? Man that's thick. I would have to hand cut those

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 Thank you for replying.

@monteaustin1006 Oh your welcome. I wish I had an answer for you

I know. I don't think I can now that it's published. That video has been up for some time

Sure, just meant for the future. Thanks!

I'm not sure I know exactly what you are asking about. Can you send me a photo of an example? tmaxfield48@gmail.com.

That's what I was thinking too when I seen how close they were on each section. Will keep from piling too much on. There is 5.5 inches between each bracket. So 5 boards would be the most on each shelf

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 I have a fairly good homemade shelf but changing the space between may be a good idea

You are correct

Lol. I know. But it's holding it. We will see if it comes down. I put also all my weight on just one bracket and it held me. Each section has 3 screws in it. Time will tell. If it fails I will try something different. Maybe toggle bolts.

It is small. I agree

You can, it will just take several days dry time. If it's too thick it will be sticky for some time. I have done this. I made some tounge n groove boards and put them together and made a table top. Then I coated stain like your talking about, sanded spots back off and made it look like an old gym floor that had been burnt. It looked great.

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 I just sanded my hardwood floors in my kitchen, then I put this Varathane fast drying stain on, wiped it off, and it magnified every imperfection... including all my swirl marks from my sander. I noticed when I brush it on like paint, it looks so much better. Do you reckon as long as the stain is not tacky at all, it's dry enough?

@johnp82 it sounds like you may have needed to sand it more and move through the grits. If you paint it on thick, it can take several days, even over a week to dry completely.

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 to be honest, the leftover stain I had that coated the inside of a plastic cup dried completely to the touch overnight. I think it's a faster drying stain than traditional Minwax stain.

Your welcome and thanks for watching

Thank you

It is in the description. It's an ETSY link

Use a 1/4 straight bit. I explained the bits in the video

And this router been on the market for half a decade, so if this was a problem, I'd bet it was a bug in the design that has been knocked out years ago. I recall when I was a kid being told to never buy a car that had a build code shows it was made on a Monday because the line mechanics are hungover from watching Sunday Night Football the night before or on a Friday because the line mechanics are daydreaming about where they're going to be drinking that night with their friends etc. And never buy the vehicle the year it comes out because usually the first year version has bugs and by the second or third year version of the vehicle has given them the chance to knock those bugs out. ...also the reason when buying a replacement part from a junkyard to buy it from a newer version of that same part ...that & never buy leather seats, get them for pennies on the dollar used from a junkyard, or any plug & play car upgrades, you can easily change a standard version of a used car to the "grand" version after a few visits to different junkyards. ...sorry I need to headout somewhere & I do not want to go so I am rambling on.

I don't have the magnet that broke. Actually I never fixed mine. I have 6 or 7 routers and just never bothered with fixing it

If your blade tilts right you can move the offcut board and use it when cutting bevels. But if your blade tilts left you will cut into the sled. Once you do that you will no longer have zero clearance on the left side of the blade. I don't recommend doing that. Instead I would make a table saw sled and use it for cutting bevels. This sled costs too much to mess it up and make it worthless for anything except Bevel cuts. Hope that makes sense. But I will add, it does make for very fine precision cuts on everything else.

I put my seat height at 18 inches. Which is pretty standard with most kitchen table chairs. The table either was around 34 inches. You can adjust this to suit your own needs. If you use a lead sled or other rifle holding devise you will want to allow enough room for it to sit on the section that comes back between the seats on the table top

Thanks Jerry. I dont know if there is a standard width or not. I believe I understand what you are asking. I don't think there was a standard in mind when porter cable made the jig. BUT it was made to accommodate any drawer depth up to the width capacity of the jig itself. That's one of the reasons Chad's template is so valuable. It takes all the guess work out of it. But as far as a standard width I don't know of one.
