These templates were created by Chad Abrams. Thank's Chad for sending me a copy of them. In this video I test Chad's template on the Porter Cable dovetail jig model 4216. This is not a "how to" video for the 4216. I do however have videos for the set up and use of the 4216 jig on this channel. Card links will pop up at the end of this video to guide you to the "how to" videos. I hope this video inspires you to create. Great idea and great work Chad.
Note: The process has been started to market this product. Hopefully it will be available for purchase before long.
When templates becomes available Chad and I will release a video announcing their release. Sorry for the delay and we appreciate your patience
That template makes the process so much easier/faster! Things you don’t know you need in your life until you see it. Great video!!!
Thank you
I need this in my life Tracy. Time saving and less error. Sure do wish Mr. Chad would sell these.
Maybe he will soon
That’s really cool. I need a set of those

I did this a couple of years ago with a cereal box - make your shapes to fit between the fingers draw your center line on cardboard and lumber, then use a paper punch over the center line on the cardboard. Line up the lines through the window of the paper punched hole - it is really easy - just like a gun site
I'm in, I would buy that in a heartbeat what a great idea, and who doesn't love their templates, it makes our job so much easier!!!

Great idea! I think it will be great to create a model for self 3d printing as more widely opened for everyone vs cnc-maden. Thanks 2 Chad for good idea!
Just know there is a patent on those now
I will want these now lol!! great Idea!!
Lol. Yeah. He got a patent. Maybe it won't be too much longer they can be made available

how to et a set, please?
@rebeltoharriganjr6158 refer to this video.ruclips.net/video/sEqor7PcI3Q/видео.html
Nice video, nice Jigs. I wish your buddy Chad was selling them. I would buy a set.
Thanks. I told him he should put them on the market. It's a great product. Maybe he will

Looks good. nice video. BTW, I will never understand how someone with a shop that size tries to get by with just one router. You need at least three IMHO.
Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Mr Maxfield Thank you so much for the hard work on your videos.
Do you think it's possible you could also do one on rabbeted half blind dovetails
Thank you. I have that on my To Do list. I will try to get that done for you
I’m sure those who’ve never messed with one of these jigs may think it’s a lot of work to get one of these jigs set up and it is , “but”! If you making a set of cabinets once this is done it’s just a matter of feeding the jig and router. Chances are if you are just making one drawer or a couple of joints time probably isn’t all that important anyway. Mikey
i would like to get my hands on those things to. Just got the jig and learned a lot of your video's. keep them coming. I have seen the box they made for the jig in the wood magazine. To bad the contend is not available in our country. Maybe an idea to put something like that out to?
The guy who made it is working on making them available. Maybe soon I hope

Hi Tracy. Please add me to the "I want one" list for Chad when he gets to making these templates available. Great invention.

Wouldn't you just need a block of wood cut to the width of the opening in the jig with a center line on it?
I guess you could but wood is not transparent. This jig is accurate and easy to use which results in speed
You are an exceptional teacher. Thank you. I would like to be on the list for one of these templates when they do come out as they would help me a great deal.
Thank you Mike for those kind words. There is no list. As soon as they become available, Chad and I will make a video on this channel letting everyone know how you can purchase a set. Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell. The process is slow going and I apologize for that. Please bear with us

Tracy, I just got the Leigh router support and vacuum for the Porter Cable dovetail jig and it is absolutely awesome. Virtually dust and chip free!! If you don’t have one I would highly recommend!!! Interested in hearing your thoughts.
I have looked at those. Just haven't ordered. But it is on my want list. I am glad you got one and appreciate the recommendation. It means a lot to me when I get to hear directly that a product works. I may have to move it up the want list some
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 I am certainly not at your level and probably do 20 drawers a year, so, basically a weekend hack that loves woodworking. But seriously, this thing really works and is a game changer when it comes to dust and chip control. You know how messy the jig is. Maybe Santa could be nudged a bit - sure would make a good Christmas present!!
@dannyhager9767 that's a good idea. It's coming up and my wife is always asking a few months ahead of time for ideas. That sounds like a great plan 👍
Do you care to send me the link to the one you got for the 4216 jig?
The fit of the jig looks a little tight. I'd reduce the width on each tooth by maybe 0.25mm. I could knock those out on a CO2 laser in probably less than a minute once I dialed in the kerf.
The jig has been remade and works perfectly now.
That looks really good. Time saver. Mr. Maxfield, how can I get my own?
Thanks. The developer is in the process of getting things in order to be able to make them available. It's just a slow process of marketing. Hopefully it won't that too long.
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 Thank you good sir. Would you be so kind to message me when that opportunity comes up?
We plan to release a video when that happens letting everyone know how they can get a set and Hopefully Chad Abrams will do a collaboration with me on that video. He is the inventor. Be sure to hit the subscribe button and ring the bell to be notified when the video is released

Very nice, if you have a list of buyers for this jig please put me on it. Thanks so much for the video.
He is in the process. He don't have a list but we are suppose to release another video when they are available letting everyone know where they can get them. Be sure to ring the notification bell to know when that video is released. He don't have a time frame. It's a process

Where can I get the exact set Chad gave you . Can't find this exact set of templates for 1/2 inch and 1/4 " on his Etsy site...Thanks
There is a link in the description
Just wanted ask if you have done any 14° dovetail joinery with this jig? The manual for the jig says it is possible. I have searched the RUclips universe of the how to setup and do those with no luck. What are your thoughts on doing a video on this? The steeper angled dovetails look much better IMHO than the 7°ones. Thx for your instructions on these issues.
Hello Jerry. I have not done any using the 14°. I may try it some time and do a video on it. It will be awhile though. I have several personal projects going on right now (remodel) and we have the holiday season coming up too. I am currently shooting a video on halfblinds and a cutting board project for a customer. As soon as I get caught up some I may try it and see how it turns out.
Thanks for your response, Tracy. In the meantime, I will keep trying to get it figured out too. I'll look forward to your videos. I have found them to be very good. I do a lot of CNC work on my Shop Sabre Pro 408 and I'm having a great time doing this in my retirement...it has been a lifetime hobby that has gotten out of hand. Have a nice and blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas season. @@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679
People, put down the calipers. The board does NOT have to be exactly centered. Just eyeball it. It'll be fine. As long as the jig is set up properly the pins and tails will fit together regardless of whether you start out exactly centered or not.
True. They will fit together but if you want, and most people do, equal size pins and tails centered on the tail boards, then you have to center the board to the template of the jig. Failing to do this will also result in having to keep each joint with its mate. By centering the board to the template, the dovetail ends will work perfectly with any set of pins. If it is not centered and just placed in the jig and cut, they will only work one way. Which should be fine for anyone who does keep up with which tails go to which pins. If you dont keep up with each mating set and you get them out of order and your boards were not centered, the edges of the boards will not line up evenly. Hope that makes sense
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 That was my point. It only matters that they LOOK centered and symmetrically. Look being the key word here. In the end, all that matters is how they look. We look with our eyes not with calipers. That's why eyeballing is good enough for me. Cool templates for the jig by the way. Good point about keeping mating ends together.
I’m no woodworking guru by any means but lately I just use my pocket knife with a sharp blade to mark with instead of a pencil. Call it luck but anything I cut or line up to is right on, knock on wood.
I use a marking knife a lot but it's hard for a camera to see it so I have to mark a line and usually it's larger than needed for the camera. 👍

Do you have to use a router with 1/2” collet?
Hello Steve. You can use a 1/4 inch bit with the 1/4 inch dovetail template and the 1/4 inch centering template.
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 Thanks for the quick response! Are you saying that the only template that I can use the 1/4” bit is on the mini dovetail template? I only have the Dewalt 611 which only supports a 1/4” collet. I have another router in the table that is in a router lift, but I would rather just leave it in the table. Thanks again! 👍🏻
@Steve Siefken are you wanting to use the 1/4 inch bit with the half inch template? I don't know if that will work. You can do a test and see. I think, if it would work, you will probably have to use the bushings for the half inch bits in the router base. But to answer yes or no I can't. I have never tried it. I would say, cut you a couple pieces of scrap material and give it a try. Maybe try it with the half inch template and using the half inch bushing with the 1/4 inch bits and see. If that don't work then try the 1/4 inch guide bushings and run another test. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer on that. I have never tried it. I have 7 or 8 routers in my shop and have never had a reason to try it. Let me know what you find out. Maybe some day when I get caught up I might try it myself and shoot a video on it but I don't know when it will be that I can do it.
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 Thanks again for your responses!👍🏻 I was thinking the same thing, use the 1/4” bit with the 1/2” bushing and just see what happens. Just bought mine, should be here Monday. Can’t tell you how I appreciate your thorough responses. Keep this up and you will be my new favorite YT channel!✅👍🏻
@@stevesiefken6432 you are welcome
Hi Tracy, any update regarding Chad's dovetail template jig? Anxiously waiting for the templates to come to market.
Hello Dave. I am still waiting on Chad to give me a date to shoot a video announcing a release of the product. I am kind of in the same boat as my viewers. I cannot get any more information than what I have already put out there and I apologize for that. I am ready to roll with it as soon as possible. I just do not have any control over when that my be. As soon as I have any information I will release it.

It is not possible at this time. Sorry. He is in the process of getting set up to make a batch for my viewers.

Thank you for your patience and understanding
