User questions & answers

Question:	It "looks" dead on exactly like the "harbor freight" one for 38.00 ?!?!?!?! russian parts american parts-all made in taiwan :) famous movie quote
Answer:	Not hard. Just push the Gripper up against the fence and down on your piece. Thenloosen thumb screws and let support drop down to table.
Question:	Can i make full dovetail joints with same bit
Answer:	Most people do not use a blade guard, so this would take the place of the blade guard. It is also used when a blade guard would interfere with the cut.
Question:	Is it possible that you can send me the owner manual by email on this item? I lost mine. Thanx, Gene
Answer:	One of the two legs of the GRR-RIPPER is just under 1/4” so out of the box it is fully capable of cutting 1/4” thick strips. We also sell an accessory 1/8” leg that allows for cutting strips down to 1/8” thick. Just remember that in either case, when cutting thin strips you want to use a Zero Clearance Insert to insure that your thin strip will not fall into the opening for the blade or the riving knife opening.
Question:	Can you cut full dovetail
Answer:	It really depends on what you will use it for. I bought the 100 and it worked fine. I then started to do some thin ripping and purchased the 1/8" leg. That's been helpful although I did cut into part of the leg. It was my fault for not keeping adequate pressure on the gripper against the fence. I then bought the piece that turned the 100 into the 200. All in all I paid too much because I was trying to save a couple of bucks. I did notice today that Amazon has the 200 with the 1/8" leg on Prime for $79. If i had to do it again, I'd go with that. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work with a rockler jig
Answer:	These templates can be used with both a hand-held router, or, turned upside-down, run on the router table. That setup is particularly helpful for dovetailing smaller boxes and drawers. It can also be used when cutting longer runs of drawers or boxes, as material can be ganged and cut quickly on the router table.
Question:	Regarding use of this mini jig: do you use the same bushing for both the pins/tails cuts, or different bushings
Answer:	Registering the two halves of the joint is very simple: cut the dovetail sockets first with the dovetail bit and Dovetail Template, then use that 1st board as your layout pattern. With your knife point, scribe one of the sockets into the end grain of the second board, with the edges of the two boards aligned. That pair of scribe marks is then exactly the size and location for the resulting pins (much as would be done when cutting dovetails by hand.) The profile of the wedge-shaped Pin Template will match the size of the pair of scribed marks exactly. Clamp the Pin Template in place, change the bit to the straight pattern bit, and proceed to cut the pins. Everything will match perfectly.
Question:	does this kit include the offset guides
Answer:	I think you can buy them at Woodcraft or from Whiteside. I suggest buying american made router bits. They outlast the imported ones.
Question:	I am looking for dovetail/pin bits for the 4215 Jig (mini dovetails) with a 1/2" shank. I am having trouble with the 1/4" shanks pulling out of the c
Answer:	Yes it comes with the two roller bits necessary to cut the dovetail joints.

User questions & answers

Question:	is this the template KIT which includes the guide and bit? The description says the bit is sold separately
Answer:	No, we don't recommend using the same size. For best results always use 12x18 inch pillow covers for 12x20 inch pillow inserts.
Question:	Does the 4213 jig come with all the necessary hardware and brackets required
Answer:	Though it can be washed with cold low settings, we highly recommend not to do so. This is mainly because the outer polyester material is a nonwoven material.
Question:	Can you use a bearing guided bit with this template
Answer:	No..Its made in India
Question:	Is this template aluminum or steel
Answer:	Yes. We recommend using a pillow cover size smaller than that of the pillow inserts. For best results always use 14-inch pillow covers for 16-inch pillow inserts.

Introducing MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp AP by MICROJIG, the newest and most expansive clamp to the MATCHFIT system. The MATCHFIT system already set the woodworking world on fire with it's patented dovetail clamp track process. With just a standard 14° by 1/2" dovetail router bit, you can route your own clamp tracks and get the hold-down pressure where and when you need it. The clamp arm matches this same profile and smoothly slides into the dovetail groove where it's out of the way of your operation and cutters. The New AP builds upon this system by giving you an 8.5" clamping capacity for your larger projects. It also comes with the dynamic X-Pad accessory, which offers you 2-in-1 hold-down and inline clamping pressure. The X-Pad works with your downward pressure and torque to apply inline pressure without lifting the material off the flat work surface like traditional inline clamps. Inline and hold-down pressure is essential when doing glue-ups and assembly projects. The AP introduces Anti-Pivot Technology, which keeps the clamp up and in a fixed position when changing out material during repeat assembly projects. The AP prevents the clamp from unintentionally dropping-down and getting in the way of your workflow. You'll enjoy faster and frustration-free clamping all over your shop. MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp AP gives your limitless possibilities for building jigs like never before and eliminating expensive T-Track. Dovetail tracks are powerful and much more versatile for setting up hold-down clamps. Upgrade and optimize your shop with dovetail clamp tracks and get more creative control with the latest innovation from MICROJIG. Designed in the USA. Made in Taiwan. 100% satisfaction guaranteed, backed by MICROJIG's Extended 3-Year Warranty. Patent Pending.

• Next Generation MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps with 8.5" capacity, Anti-Pivot Technology, and X-Pad Accessory
• Dynamic X-Pad Accessory gives your 2-in-1 hold down and inline clamping pressure
• Anti-Pivot technology keeps the clamp arm in place when switching out work and doesn't get in the way
• 8.5" length and clamping capacity for your bigger projects
• Route your own clamp tracks with a standard 14° x 1/2" dovetail router bit and build jigs like never before

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it possible to buy the X-pad separately somewhere
Answer:	Lifetime

Work faster with a clamp arm that won't drop.

The Anti-Pivot Coil Spring prevents the clamp arm from pivoting and dropping when switching workpieces in repetitive processes. Save time and work faster without having to reset your clamp height for every part.

As with the original Dovetail Clamps, the Dovetail Clamp AP features a solid steel bar with the head forged into a 14º dovetail profile, and a soft rubberized handle for a more comfortable grip. The handle can be reversed to provide direct horizontal clamping pressure without the need for long clamps.

Create your own clamp tracks anywhere you can route.

Simply route a groove anywhere you need using a 1/2”–14º dovetail router bit. That's all it takes to make your own clamp tracks.

Secure material with ZERO interference.

The Dovetail Clamp AP slides below the surface, so you can secure material without the clamp getting in the way.

Use with a spacer to secure material from a distance.

A spacer provides in-line pressure—leaving the top of the material unobstructed for sanding, flattening, template routing or CNC work.

Clamp round stock with ease.

The V-groove profile gives you two points of contact to clamp. Turn the X-PAD 90º to clamp round and oblong-profile stock with a single clamp.
