  • Patent number: 7240704
    Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a precision dado in a board includes a base member. The base member includes an adjustable clamp that surrounds a guide fence and which can move along the length of the fence. The fence is clamped to the board where desired for each dado. The base member includes a central area that is adapted to receive a dado guide bushing which is attached to a router having a router bit. The central area allows limited movement of the bushing and the router bit in the dado guide perpendicular to the fence. This allows the router bit, which is smaller than the width of the dado, to fully cut the dado in two passes. Setup of the dado guide to accommodate the width of a shelf to be inserted in the dado is described as is the precise location of the dado guide with respect to the board.

  • Patent number: 6899152
    Abstract: A set of plates that interact to control the action of a router to direct it to shape interlocking components in sheet materials. The device is mainly applicable to dovetail joints but it can be applied to lettering and decoration. One of the plates supports the router over the workpiece. A second plate forms a shaped base for the router. Two further plates control the movement of the router plate and hence the router itself on the base plate. Another of the set of plates is indented with depressions that act as a template that controls the position of the cut of the router by means of an attached locating pin that can follow the template. The positioning of the router and the way it attacks the sheet material is unrestrained until checked by the plates. These plates together can form a set of dovetail jigs that cut both through and lapped dovetails using any dovetail cutter.
