VERITAS Dovetail Saw Guide
This dovetail guide was developed to allow amateur woodworkers to achieve professional results. This system also allows the seasoned expert to produce dovetail joints more quickly and with less effort. The guide comes with a sliding clamp that is designed to fit either side of the guide to allow cutting of both pins and tails. The guide has embedded rare-earth magnets to ensure that the saw remains in contact with the guide faces, and the magnets are covered with plastic pads to allow the saw to slide smoothly.
Notice: Typical Japanese dovetail cutting saws with back are not suitable for this guide. Any back on the blade will interfere with this guide. Use a backless japanese saw - Ryoba or Kataba - or an English type Dovetail saw or Tenon saw, which do not interfere with the guide due to their wide blade. The guide itself overtops the workpiece with 40 mm. If your backed saw allows a cutting depth of 60 mm, the max. width of the boards can be 20 mm. Please consider this when choosing a saw. Beyond that the max. width of a board can be 25 mm/1 inch.
The teeth of the saw should be set no more than 0.1 mm/0.005 inch, as the plastic pad prouds only 0.1/mm/0.005 of the guide face. In other words, if your blade is 1 mm thick, the kerv your saw makes should not be more than 1.2 mm.
The best saw for this dovetail guide is our
Japanese Kataba saw ripcut fine. The guide comes with a 14 pages instruction leaflet.
