I have a porter Cable router jig and have made successful dovetail joints with it before. However, the last few days I am scratching my head bald trying to figure out why the pins come out too fat when cutting half blind dovetails.
I am leaning toward the idea that the angle of the dovetail bit is not right. The book calls for a 7 degree bit and I think the one I have is more like 12 degrees.
I have gone over and over the book and have all the right parts in place.
Anyone experience this?
