TECTION. Also use a DUST MASK if the  
cutting operation is dusty.  
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.

IV. UNPACKING  
V. ASSEMBLY  
Remove the items packed in the carton. It may be  
a good idea to save the carton and packing material  
in case they might be needed in the future. Upon  
removal of all items from the package, you should  
have:  
A. HAND LEVERS  
The jig is shipped fully assembled except for the  
two hand levers. Screw the threaded end of each  
hand lever into the clamping rods located on the  
top and front of the dovetail jig. Tighten until  
secure. Figure 1.

1. Place the jig on your bench top so the front  
lap rests against the front of the bench top.  
2. Locate the mounting holes in the rear of the  
jig. Scribe the hole locations and determine  
whether to use nuts and bolts, or lag screws.  
Drill the appropriate size holes.  
3. Secure the jig to your bench top. Screws can  
be tightened by inserting a long screwdriver  
through the unthreaded holes in the back of  
the jig.

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.  
7
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.  
3
A typical drawer has a /4" thick front with sides  
1. The W1099 is capable of processing material  
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.

VIII. ADJUSTMENT LOCATIONS  
The W1099 Dovetail Jig has been designed to accommodate various stock thicknesses and router base sizes.  
Figure 4 shows the locations for all necessary Dovetail Jig adjustments.  
Front and back pieces mount horizontally on top  
of the jig and side pieces mount vertically in the  
front of the jig. The insides of the boards always  
When describing adjustments and operations  
face out!  
in this manual, reference is made to the pieces  
being joined as fronts, backs or sides. These  
pieces indicate drawer fronts, backs, and sides.  
1. The hand levers clamp your workpiece in  
place.  
4. The front side stops align the vertical work-  
piece to the horizontal workpiece.  
2. The fence knobs hold the fence in place.  
Loosen these knobs to adjust fence position.  
Router travel is stopped when the router base  
contacts the fence.  
5. The template knobs hold the template in  
place. Loosen these knobs to adjust template  
position.  
6. The clamping pressure knobs control the  
height of the clamping bar and adjust cam  
clamping pressure.

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  
716" template, the offset will be 716".)  
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 34" (or thicker) material for drawer fronts and backs and mate-  
rial approximately 12" (or slightly thicker) for drawer sides. Make sure there is no more than 14" 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.

XII. FENCE ADJUSTMENT  
The fence controls the depth of the dovetail pins  
3. Measure the distance from the edge of the  
router base to the edge of the guide bushing  
and add it to the distance you calculated in  
step 2.  
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:  
7
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.  
1
2. Now, add /32" to the distance you calculated  
in step 1.

router, base, bushing, and wood  
thickness combination, record  
it here and keep it for future ref-  
erence. E will be different for  
different wood thicknesses.

XIII. OPERATIONS  
Your router base must accept a guide bushing with  
plate of the router.  
a 7/16" outside diameter and an inside diameter large  
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.  
1
Choose a /2" 14° Dovetail router bit with a  
1
/
4" shank. Ensure that the router is unplugged.  
Securely mount the bit in the router collet.  
Set the router bit to extend 17/32" below the base  
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 116" 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.

further instructions.  
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.

XIII. OPERATIONS  
Drawer Front or Back  
(Horizontal)  
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.

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.

XIV. TROUBLESHOOTING  
on top of the jig.  
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.
