Just bought this jig, no manual but was able to download one of the web. I've tried to set it up per the manual and havn't been able to make a half blind dovetail, the pins are to small. The manual calls for a for a 42046 guide
(5/8) but the slots are 7/16 so I tried a 7/16 guide. Not being familar with dovetail jigs, It seems logical to me. The template doesn't have a part number
maybe it's custom, it has 26 slots that are 7/16s wide and 3/4s deep. I also used a 1/2 inch, 14 degree dovetail bit. There's something I'm not seeing or understanding. I'm not about to give up, but getting pretty frustrated. Thanks for any help. Just joined and it looks like a great forum.
