OPERATION PRECAUTIONS & SAFETY
Do not use this tool if any
components are damaged.
Contact MICROJIG for
replacement parts.
(contact information on
back of manual)
When not in use, store this
product on a at, clean
surface.
The Dovetail Clamp’s rubber
handles can be cleaned with
either denatured alcohol, 91%
isopropyl alcohol, or pumice
hand cleaner.
Before cutting relief grooves
or parts for jigs on the table
saw, make sure that the
saw top is at and free from
obstructions other than the
required fence and one
cutting element. The tabletop
must be reasonably level and
below the waistline.
The table saw rip fence must
be sturdy with a at front
surface, equipped with a
locking mechanism to secure
it on the tabletop so that it is
parallel to the saw blade at all
scale settings.
A sharp, clean carbide-tipped
saw blade should be used
when cutting jig parts or
relief grooves.
Ensure that your saw blade is
set vertically at an absolute
90-degree angle to ensure
safe operation.
When routing dovetail
grooves, ensure that the
router is mounted securely
to the router table (if using
a router table), and that the bit
height can rmly lock in
position before operation.
The Router table insert must
be level with router table
top to ensure accurate and
uniform cutting depth.
The Router must be
equipped with a ½” collet to
accommodate the Dovetail
Router Bit’s ½” shank.
A router with at least 1-½
horsepower is recommended.

TOOL PREP
WARNING! Never wear loose
clothing, gloves, bracelets,
or other jewelry that may get
caught in the moving parts or
cutting elements.

USING THE MATCHFIT SET UP GAUGE
A. ¼” RELIEF GROOVE DEPTH GAUGE
1. Prior to cutting dovetail tracks with the included MATCHFIT Dovetail
Router Bit, it’s a good idea to remove some of the waste material.
Doing so will result in cleaner cuts, reduce stress on your router,
and extend the lifespan of your router bit.
2. Relief grooves should be 1/4” wide and 11/32” deep. They can
either be cut on a table saw or with a router.
3. If using a table saw, set the long side of the Setup Gauge at on the
table saw top, then raise your saw blade up into the 11/32” notch
until it touches the top of the notch.
4. If using a router to cut relief grooves, set the long side of the Setup
Gauge at on the router table top or router base, then raise the
router bit (1/4” straight or spiral) up into the 11/32” notch until it
touches the top of the notch.

USING THE MATCHFIT SET UP GAUGE
B. 3/8” DOVETAIL BIT DEPTH GAUGE
1. The MATCHFIT Setup Gauge features a 3/8” (.375”) depth gauge
to quickly and easily set the MATCHFIT Dovetail Router Bit’s cutting
depth. However, the bit’s built-in roundover creates a tolerance
range of .365-.395”.
2. With the long side of the Setup Gauge at on the router table
top or router base, raise the bit until it touches the top of the
outermost notch.

MATCHFIT DOVETAIL ROUTER BIT
The MATCHFIT System was designed around a standard 1/2” 14-degree
dovetail prole because it is one of the most common, accessible
dovetail router bits on the market. The MATCHFIT Dovetail Router Bit
improves on its design, and is optimized for routing MATCHFIT
dovetail tracks for jigs and xtures.

The 8 degree downshear
carbide works similarly to a
helical cutterhead on a jointer
or planer. Approaching the
material at an angle puts less
stress on the carbide, and
results in clean, virtually tear-
out free cuts.
The wide shoulder reduces
vibration and noise.
The 3/8” laser-etched cutting
depth line allows you to
quickly dial in a perfect cutting
depth, with or without the
Setup Gauge.
The laser-etched router collet
safety line shows the safest
depth within the collet to
secure the router bit. This
prevents it from bottoming
out or vibrating and ejecting
from the router.
FEATURES
10
MATCHFIT DOVETAIL ROUTER BIT
The 1/16” roundover with are
edge automatically rounds
over the top edge of the
dovetail track in one pass. This
virtually eliminates the need
to sand, and prevents material
from binding in the tracks. The
are edge creates a depth
tolerance range. The narrowest
point of the dovetail track
remains constant, within .365-
.395” depth.
A deeper cut will produce a
more pronounced roundover.
Refer to the adiagram below.
