Beautiful Dovetails You Control

As well as being the best way to joint two boards, Dovetails are the perhaps the most elegant and pleasing of all joints. Maybe that's why they've been used for more than 4000 years! Unfortunately, todays range of dovetail jigs do them little justice. For the most part, they look machine made and there are countlesss restrictions on how the joint is laid out and what wood can be used.

Not so with the WoodRat. You can now make any kind of dovetail, through, lapped or secret, using our fine HSS bits to make a joint any craftsman would be proud of. We use a unquiqe method of left-right registration where the tail sockets become a templatre for the pins. Thus you get 100% accuracy, repeatability and there are no teplates to buy, no fingers to adjust and no guidebushes. You can put your joints anywhere you like. You can join wafer thin boards with tiny dovetails or 2" x 30" boards with massive dovetails.

If you are serious about making dovetails, the WoodRat is your clear choice.

“An excellent dovetailer capable of producing the finest joints”

“I am blown away with your creation. It is by a long way the best routing and dovetailing platform that I have ever come across.”
