Dovetail milling jig

The challenge:

The "dovetail tenon" shape is used in many wood joints. This principle is not new, but it is not economical to produce by hand.

The solution:

With the patented dovetail routing jig from Lignatool, you are able to economically produce this advantageous wood connection in your company in the shortest possible time, even without a computer-controlled CNC machine!

With this new method, the wood-in-wood connection becomes interesting again in terms of price, the perfect wood connection, simply fast and clean.

Avantages

  • Mobile for workshop or construction site

    Supplied in a practical and waterproof plastic box (Systainer) and is therefore easy to transport.

  • Safe work thanks to the patented milling guide

    A locking plate is screwed to the router, and the router is securely hooked into the routing guide by turning it 90 degrees. This allows you to work safely and without tiring.

  • High added value

    You can easily create 10-15 wood joints in an hour's work, so the added value stays in your company.

  • Static calculation

    The static calculation according to EUROCODE is available free of charge for Lignatool customers, follow the link below.

  • Modular concept

    All components such as milling guide, chip protection, stops are interchangeable, so only the base plate needs to be exchanged for other tenon shapes or sizes.

  • Scope of delivery

    The packages are put together differently depending on the purpose and budget and can be individually adapted at any time.

  • Fast assembly

    Very helpful when assembling visible wooden structures, no supports required, no interfering steel parts on delivery.

  • Saves expensive metal parts

    There is no need to procure or store expensive metal-wood connection parts.

  • High quality craftsmanship

    Wooden connections are aesthetically very demanding, which is especially important for orders with visible wooden structures.

Components

These components make the routing jigs so special.

Systainer

Supplied in a practical Systainer with foam insert.
Except size LT140 and LT180, these are delivered in a cardboard box.

Jigs

Jigs made of anodized aluminum with scales in mm divisions and bushings made of stainless steel that can be replaced when worn.

Scales

Scales made of black anodized aluminum with bright engraving for high reading contrast, resistant to solvents and mechanical stress.

Milling guide

The router is hooked into the safety routing guide with the locking plate. This allows you to work safely and without tiring.

Locking plate

The locking plate is screwed onto the soleplate of the router.

Suitable for the following routers:

  • Mafell LO65
  • Festool OF2200
  • Festool OF1400
  • Scheer HM16-HM25
  • DeWalt 625 / 626
  • Makita RP2300
  • Bosch GOF2000

Setting gauge

The tenon length is set with the setting gauge. The milling cutter diameter, the race diameter, the tenon length and the hole depth can also be measured.

Difference gauge

The required correction of the tenon height for sloping wood connections, such as rafters on a ridge, can be read off on the difference gauge.

Horizontal stop

The horizontal stop can be adjusted at an angle of up to +-60°.

Vertical stop

The vertical stop can be adjusted at an angle of up to +-60°.

Side stop

The lateral position of the tenon template is set at the side stop.

Chip protection

The horizontal chip guard is clipped onto the tenon template from above.
The vertical chip protection is pushed from above into the guide groove of the milling guide on the spigot template.

Clamp fixation

For quick fixation of the tenon template on the beam, with a lever clamp.

Simplex stop jaws

Straight or sloping millings (as with rafters or a vertical roof window change) can be realized with the Simplex stop jaws.

Cutter

Milling cutter with reversible blade and race. It is attached with a double-threaded nut directly into the conical shank of the router. Adapters are available for some routers without a conical shank or with a different tool holder.

Variable tenon lengths

By changing the bearing ring, 4 different tenon lengths can be milled.

  • 28mm
  • 25mm (standard tenon length)
  • 20mm
  • 15mm

Routers

The following routers can be used:

  • Festool OF2200
  • Festool OF1400
  • Mafell LO65
  • Scheer HM16-HM25 (adapter required)
  • Dewalt 626
  • Makita RP2300 (cutter with special shank)
  • Others on request

Compatible with CNC joinery machines

The tenon shape as well as the flank angle of 15 degrees is suitable for most CNC joinery machines.
