owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as its
particular hazards.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in
working order.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricat-
ing and changing accessories.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle,
the adapter plug must be attached to a known
ground. Never remove the grounding prong.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER
before servicing and when changing acces-
sories, such as blades, bits, and cutters.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from the machine before turning it on.
16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging in the cord.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not oper-
ate the machine until you are certain it is in
perfect running condition.
6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet loca-
tions or expose them to rain. Keep your work
area well lighted.
18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING

VI. CAPACITIES
VII. PREPARATION
The W1099 is designed to produce half-blind
It is important to plan your work before starting.
If joining multiple pieces for a drawer or series of
drawers, it is best to label the pieces as front, back
and sides and which face will be inside or outside.
It is also best to label the ends so it is clear which
end mates with another. Labeling will save setup
time and avoid costly mistakes in the long run.

dovetail joints with a router, /16" guide bushing,
1
and 14°, /2" dovetail router bit. Half-blind dove-
tails are very strong and are commonly used in fine
drawer construction. The term “half-blind” refers
to the fact that the pins and tails can only be seen
from the side.

up to 11/4" thick and up to 12" wide.
1
made of /2" material. The dovetail jig’s design
requires that you use the same stock thickness
for the back as you do for the front. Your drawer
fronts and backs must be at least 5/8" thick to fully
accommodate the length of the dovetails without
compromising strength.
2. It is designed to be used with 1/4" shank, 1/2",
14° dovetail bits only. The bit should pro-
trude approximately 17/32" below the base.
3. The maximum router base size that can be
used with this jig is 7" in diameter.
After all the pieces have been cut to size and
checked to ensure squareness, set them on a bench
in the order that they will be fitted together. Lay
each piece down so the inside faces up. Label each
piece on the inside as shown in Figure 3.
1
4. The guide bushing should protrude /8" to
3/16" from the base of the router and be 7/16" in
outside diameter (O.D.).
This jig can only be used with a guide bushing
attached to your router base.
The table below shows the pin widths produced
by different sized templates. Your jig comes with
a 1/2" template. Other templates are available from
your local Woodstock dealer.

IX. CLAMP ADJUSTING
X. SIDE STOP SET UP
The clamping pressure should be adjusted so the
workpiece can be easily slid under the bar when
the hand lever is up. Push the hand lever down
to hold the workpiece in place. Figure 5. Do not
use excessive force when pushing the lever. If the
lever will not lock firmly under normal pressure,
loosen the clamping pressure knobs slightly and
try again.
The side stops serve three purposes: 1) they posi-
tion each workpiece square to each other, 2) they
offset the two workpieces for proper alignment,
and 3) they give lateral support to the workpieces
during routing.
IMPORTANT: All pieces must be cut perfectly
square for the jig to work properly.
To adjust the side stops:
Front or Back Piece
(Horizontal)
1. Loosen the fence and slide to the rear. Slide
the drawer back horizontally under the top
clamp and the template. Place the drawer
back against either one of the side stops.
Fence
2. Loosen the adjustment screws on the side
stop and shift the side stop and the workpiece
until the wood is centered under the template
fingers. Figure 6. Centering ensures that the
pins and tails on the ends will be identical to
each other. Re-tighten the side stop screws.
Do not over-tighten.
Figure 5 shows clamping down the workpiece.
3. Grasp the jig template from behind and gently
pull it forward. When the template is tight in
its full-forward position, clamp the workpiece
in place. Repeat this procedure each time you
clamp your top workpiece to ensure that sub-
sequent cuts are consistent.
IMPORTANT
Since tails and pins are routed in one
operation, drawer sides must be offset.
The amount of offset is equal to the
width of the template fingers.
Figure 6 shows the drawer front (or back) equally cen-
tered under the fingers of the dovetail jig.

X. SIDE STOP SET UP
4. Insert a drawer side under the front clamp.
9. Loosen the front side stop screws and slide
the front side stop against the square. Tighten
the two Phillips screws. Be careful: over-
tightening could damage the side stops.
This piece will be vertical. Adjust the height
so the end of the vertical board overlaps the
end of the horizontal board. At this point it is
not crucial that the pieces be flush.
10. Replace the front cam clamping system and
the template.
5. Clamp the side in place.
6. Release the horizontal piece and butt it against
the side piece mounted in the front of the jig.
Ensure that the horizontal piece remains cen-
tered under the template fingers. Re-clamp in
place.
Note: The dovetail jig is capable of processing two
sets of joints at one time if the sum of the widths
of both sets is less than 12". If you wish to make
two sets of joints at one time, adjust both sets of
side stops at each end of the jig. Refer to Steps 1
through 10 above.
7. Release the side piece from the front of the
jig and remove the front clamping system by
unscrewing the clamping adjustment knobs.
Remove the template by unscrewing the tem-
plate adjustment screws.
8. Mark a line on the end of the wood exactly
1
/
2" from the edge. Use the technique shown
in Figure 7 to align the lower left side stop.
1
If you are using the /2" template, scribe the
line so the distance from the edge equals the
width of the template fingers. (If using the
7⁄16" template, the offset will be 7⁄16".)
Figure 7 shows aligning the lower left side stop to the
line scribed on the end of the front (or back) piece.
IMPORTANT
For the best results, we recommend using 3⁄4" (or thicker) material for drawer fronts and backs and mate-
rial approximately 1⁄2" (or slightly thicker) for drawer sides. Make sure there is no more than 1⁄4" differ-
ence in wood thickness between the front/back and the sides. Make sure when preparing your lumber
for dovetailing – that all materials are squared uniformly to 90°. Out of square lumber will just about
guarantee unsatisfactory results.
It is also essential that all adjustments of the jig be set exactly parallel. Before making a cut, inspect:
1. Alignment between front and side workpieces
2. Alignment between the wood and the stops and jig
3. Alignment between the template and the front edge of the wood
4. Alignment between the fence and the front of the template

amount that the board exceeds /8". Then, set the
front edge of the template fingers back from the
edge by that sum. Figure 9.
To adjust the template to the proper position:
Ensure that the front edge of the template is
parallel to the edge of the vertical workpiece. To
maintain a high degree of accuracy when adjust-
ing the template, measure at one end of the jig,
then measure at the other end. Make adjustments
to the template and re-measure both positions.
1. Mount your drawer pieces in the jig. The
horizontal piece must be tight and flush with
the top of the vertical piece. When mounted
correctly, the top edge of the vertical piece
sits flush with the top of the horizontal piece.
Figure 8A.
7
To measure at both ends of the jig, try shifting the
vertical piece to the other end of the jig or clamp
two pieces at each end of the jig as shown in Figure
8B. It is not necessary to simultaneously measure
with two rulers. The two rulers only represent two
measurement locations.
2. For pieces that are less than /8" thick, slide
the template so the front edge of the template
fingers are 1/8" back from the top edge of the
vertical piece. Figure 8B.
3.
Tighten the two template lock knobs and
re-check your measurements.

horizontal and vertical workpieces when mounted in
the Dovetail Jig.

by limiting the distance that the router travels. The
router stops when the router base hits the fence.
The fence must be adjusted parallel to the edge of
the vertical piece just like the template.
4. The distance calculated in step 3 is the dis-
tance that the fence should be back from the
template. Loosen the two fence lock knobs
and slide the fence into position. Ensure that
the fence is parallel to the front of the tem-
plate and tighten the two lock knobs.
To adjust the fence:

1. Mount a /16" O.D. guide bushing in your
router base. Measure the amount that the tem-
plate overlaps the vertical piece. Multiply that
number by two. For example, if the template
is offset from the edge of the vertical piece by

8" and the thickness of the side piece is 1/2",
then the overlap is 3/8". So, 3/8" x 2 is 3/4".
When you’ve finished with all the calculations,
make a test run using some scrap wood to check
your positioning. Fine tune if necessary.

enough to accept a 1/4" shank dovetail bit. Securely
mount the guide bushing to your router.
Before cutting tails and pins in a finish piece, it
is important to test your adjustments with sample
pieces to judge the quality of the joint. It may be
necessary to make additional adjustments to the
dovetail jig to improve the fit. With the jig com-
pletely adjusted, you should be ready to test it out.
Review all safety guidelines on Page 2 if you are
not sure about the risks associated with operating a
router in conjunction with this jig.
Refer to your router’s operating manual for further
instructions.

A. REGULAR USE
To use the dovetail jig:
1. Start with joint 1 that you set up in Section
VII.
Drawer Front or Back
(Horizontal)
2. Position the mated pieces in the jig so the
insides face out and up. Each piece must be
tight against the side stops. The back piece is
positioned horizontally on top of the jig. The
mating side piece positioned vertically in the
front of the jig. Secure the drawer pieces with
the clamps. The end of the side piece must
be flush with the top face of the back piece.

TIPS FOR OPTIMUM RESULTS
Add 1⁄16" to the distance between the template and the router fence to ensure a deep enough cut.
Don’t clamp your work down too tight. Over-clamping tends to lift the wood on the front side of the jig.
Maintain steady, even pressure on the router when cutting. Remove materials in several smaller passes,
rather than one large pass. This will lessen the chances of damaging your project or your router bit.
Use pieces of scrap wood the same thickness as your workpieces to provide an even base for the template
and clamping mechanisms. Place them at the opposite end of the template and clamps before tightening
the jig.
Be sure the template is sitting flat across the length of your workpiece before routing to ensure even cut
depth.

plugging in your router. Hold the router
firmly with both hands and support it on the
template. Make sure that the bit is clear of the
workpiece.
4. Remove both pieces from the jig and join the
dovetails.
Turn the router on and gently ease the bit into
the work, letting the guide bushing gently
contact the template. Facing the dovetail jig,
start at your left side and work to the right,
following each template finger in and out.
Ensure that the router base and guide bushing
stay in firm contact with the template. Figure
12.
5. It may be necessary to tap the two pieces
together with a hammer and wood block. If
alignment is so poor that the two pieces will
not fit together, line up each piece as much
as possible and determine the direction and
degree of fine adjustment.
If the two pieces do not fit, it is usually because
they were not milled square or the pieces were not
flush with each other in the jig. See Section XIV.
7
Hint: If you are using material thicker than /8",
cut it in two stages. First, remove the material IN
FRONT OF the fingers. Second, remove the mate-
rial BETWEEN the fingers.

B. RABBETED DRAWER FRONTS
Drawer fronts that have been rabbeted around the
inside edge to create a lip to restrict drawer travel
in the closed position require some additional
setup.
Spacers
To produce half-blind dovetails on rabbeted draw-
er fronts:
Drawer Side
(Vertical)
1. A spacer must be added to the vertical side
stop in the front of the jig to compensate for
the rabbet. The width of the spacer must be
the same width as the rabbet. Figure 15.
Figure 15 shows lining up a rabbeted board and where
to locate the spacers to prevent tear-out. Section XIV.
A.
2. The fence must also be set back an additional
amount equal to the width of the rabbet.
3. Since the side piece is unsupported by the
front piece (the rabbet created a void behind
the side piece), it is likely that the router bit
will cause tear out each time the bit exits the
side piece. To prevent tear out, place a wood
spacer cut to the same dimensions as the rab-
bet for back-up support behind the top edge
of the side piece.

XIV. TROUBLESHOOTING
A. TEAR-OUT
C. INCOMPLETE FIT
When cutting across the grain of the wood, tear-
out or splintering may occur when the router
bit exits the workpiece. To prevent tear-out, you
may scribe a line on the side piece with a sharp
knife or awl at the same distance down that router
bit will cut. Tear-out can be eliminated or reduced
by backing up the workpiece with a scrap piece or
simply using extra care when operating the router.
An incomplete fit occurs when the side piece
protrudes from the end of the front or back piece.
Figure 17.
Cause: The distance between the edge of the side
piece and fence is set too narrow.
Remedy: Adjust the fence toward the back of the
jig by the same amount that the tails protrude out.
B. EXCESSIVE FIT
To adjust the fence:
If the pins on the side piece fit too deeply in the
tails of the front or back piece, the cut is too deep.
Figure 16.
1. Make a reference line indicating the cur-
rent position of the fence either on a piece
of masking tape located on the jig or on the
sample piece clamped under the fence.
Cause: The distance between the edge of the side
piece and fence is set too wide.
2. Measure the distance that the tails protrude.
Remedy: Adjust the fence forward by the same
amount that the pins are exposed. Refer to the pro-
cedure described above for fence adjustment.
3. Loosen the fence locking knobs and slide the
fence toward the back of the jig by the same
distance.
4. Ensure that the fence is parallel to the edge of
the workpiece and tighten the lock knobs.
Figure 16 shows excessive fit.
Figure 17 shows incomplete fit.

D. OFFSET EDGES
F. UNEVEN FIT
If the side piece edge is not aligned with the front
or back piece edge, the edges are offset. Figure
18.
If the side piece fits either excessively or protrudes
at one edge and not the other, the fit is uneven.
Figure 19.
Cause: The side stops are not set correctly.
Cause: The fence is not parallel to the edge of the
workpiece or the template is not parallel to the
edge of the workpiece.
Remedy: Measure the amount of offset on the two
test pieces and adjust the front side stop accord-
ingly. The front side stop must be offset from the
top side stop by the exact width of the fingers on
the template you are using. Ensure that the front
side stop remains square to the workpiece mounted
Remedy: Adjust the fence or template in the
desired direction until it is parallel to the edge of
the workpiece. For the highest degree of accuracy,
clamp the two workpieces in the front of the jig
so they are positioned against the two side stops
and measure the distance between the edge of the
workpiece and the edge of the fence or template.
Adjust the fence or template so the measurement
on the other end of the jig equals the first. Re-
check the first measurement in case it changed
during adjustment.
Figure 18 shows offset edges.
E. FIT TOO TIGHT
OR TOO LOOSE
If you find the fit to be about right in every other
aspect, but it is simply a little too tight or too
loose, the depth of the router bit is probably mal-
adjusted.
Figure 19 shows uneven fit.
1. If the fit is too tight, decrease the protrusion
of the router bit from the base.
2. If the fit is too loose, increase the protrusion
of the router bit from the base.
