User questions & answers

Question:	Does this set come in a wood box like a lot of other yonico sets
Answer:	Any straight bit can be used to create the pins so long as they conform to these 2 criteria. 1) The cutting length should be at least the size of the thickness of the stock. 2) Cutting diameter needs to be narrower than the narrowest space between the dovetails. For instance if you are using 3/8" stock and the narrowest space between the dovetails are 1/4" then you should be using a straight bit that is at least 3/8" cutting length by at most 1/4" cutting diameter. If you are using a jig, refer to the instructions for their recommendation.
Question:	cut diameter
Answer:	Great quality I have over 50 different bits from yonico all great quality and priced well
Question:	What size strait bits are needed for this set to make through dovetail joints
Answer:	9 feet wide and 9 feet high
Question:	How good is the quality
Answer:	It probably won't work well as pickle balls wont have enough weight to rebound. You really have to hit a tennis ball hard for it to return to you.

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:	What width of boards will fit in this jig, and what is the max thickness of boards that can fit in it? Will it handle 4/4 stock
Answer:	Hi Derek, I have not seen a way to bevel the cut to match the door bevel. The jig mounts square to the door. I have had the same question myself early on. It seems to be ok though, because the lockset hardware doesn't bevel either, the plunger plates are square to the door and do not follow the door bevel. We have not had an issue with the 5 degree or so bevel on the door looking bad or functioning badly. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does it contain the essential guide rings
Answer:	There is a mortise template for a 5/8" x 4-1/4" lockset included. The faceplate templates are for 7/8" or 1" wide faceplates. There is no template for 11/16" faceplate included with the kit. The Trend Lock website (www.trenddirectuk.com) lists other available templates.
Question:	Can you use it with the Bosch router or do you need special accessories
Answer:	Yes the template pivots to match the bevel Not real familiar with Baldwin products as I own a commercial door company and I have never seen a beveled faceplate it is the door that is beveled in my experience
Question:	does it include the 4 router bits usually included with in this set
Answer:	I don’t see that size listed. The closest to that size is 22.5mm x 152.5mm. Not sure if you are referring to the faceplate size or the actual lock body. This jig has the capability to be used with a deep plunging router to mill out lock-sets that fit deep into the door. There are templates that are used to deep cut for the lock body and other templates that are used to mortise out the face plate for such a lock set
