    Best dovetail bit out there for making the match fit stuff. This special bit has an upper rounded edge that truly cuts down your time on sanding afterwards! If your using it for matchfit hardware then buy this bit. Its worth it!

    Does a much better job cutting the grove for the 45 degree clamps I have.

    Used to make a tapering jig along with the microjig dovetail clamps. Works great and creates a tight fit.

    The fit and accuracy is great, very handy and works perfect with the MicroJig dove tail clamp and the Matchfit dove tail hardware.

    Works great. Make sure the depth is correct. Cut to shallow and the clamp protrudes above the groove

    If youre going to make MatchFit groves, this is better than a normal bit. I use it without pre-cutting a channel, because I figure Im only ever going to use this bit for Matchfit grooves, so Ill use it for those and use other bits for other projects. You WILL need to buy or make a height jig, as I have done (see photo). Just make a few passes through 1 material using the bit set at different heights until you get the height where it just makes a smooth top but no higher. Then drive the router through a piece of wood and widen it to get your height profile. Or you can buy the same thing from MicroJig for $15. But youll need it to get the same height every time. Your next danger is burning. Set a high speed and move as quickly as you can. I have a 1/4 bit, and Im sure that with a more powerful 1/2 router it would be easier to burn less. It takes some practice, and you have to keep moving. If you do keep burning, run a channel first to open up the path, then come through and dovetail it.

The MATCHFIT Dovetail Router Bit is specifically designed for the match fit Dovetail clamps and dovetail hardware. Its unique design uses the same standard 14-degree, ½” profile, but with rounded corners. It routes incredibly clean Dovetail grooves and requires less sanding, making the match fit system faster and easier than ever before. Down Shear - the 8-degree down Shear utilizes the bit"s rotation to evacuate chips and dust, reducing friction, and heat, resulting in cleaner cuts. Bottom round over - the bottom of the dovetail Groove Bears the majority of the clamping pressure. The 1/32” round over strengthens that bottom corner by removing less material. This is especially important when routing grooves in plywood, as it minimized the possibility of plies Separating. Top round over - the 1/16” round over at the top of the dovetail Groove has several functions. Firstly, it prevents tear out and fuzz, significantly reducing the amount of sanding needed. It also provides a range of tolerance. The bit can be set to a depth anywhere between . 365” and . 385”, and still be fully compatible with the match fit line of products. Within that range, The width of the Groove opening at the top will remain the same, but with varying round over exposure. The shallower the Groove, the smaller the round over. The deeper The Groove, the more pronounced the round over will be. Laser cut ⅜” depth guide - the depth guide line is exactly ⅜” from the end of the carbide cutter. With the depth guide line even with the surface of the material, The bit will cut a . 375” deep groove, which is in the middle of its range of tolerance. Wide base - the wide base reduces vibration and noise while routing grooves, resulting in smoother, cleaner cuts. Router collet safety line - the router collet safety line shows how deep into the collet the bit should be. The shank of the bit was designed to be as long as possible, while still fitting into any Major manufacturers’ router. This provides more surface area for the collet to grip, reducing vibration for a smoother cut, and minimizing the Risk of the bit loosening and ejecting from the router.
