Description

Half blind dovetails are generally done for drawers where mechanical function of the dovetails are hidden when the drawer is pushed closed. Like dovetails, drawers have been made have been made this way for centuries.

On a dovetail jig, the tails and pins are cut at the same time with the two pieces clamped into the jig at 90° to each other.

The router bit selected should have a depth of cut at least 3mm less than the thickness of the timber being routed. This will determine the bit angle. For rabbeted drawers, the bit selected should have a depth of cut less that the rebate.

Half-Blind Dovetail Bit Selection

Bit selection is based on the thickness material used. Ideally, select the cutter with the deepest depth of cut possible, that is less than the thickness of the material.

The below information advises the depth of cut for both single pass and variably spaced blind dovetails, and the depth of cut for the router bit. To get a tighter or looser fit, the router bit needs to be adjusted up or down, rather than the jig being adjusted.
