Ryobi dovetail jig
Hi,
(I know this has been covered before, but the last posting was over 5 years ago, so I thought it would be best to start again).
I have just been given a Ryobi dovetail jig DT330, but no instructions, bush or cutter for it. I have bought a Trend GB12 bush that fits my Elu Mof96, but cannot identify what cutter would be suitable.
The spacing of the fingers (pitch) of the template is 25mm as far as I can tell (not ½").
I believe this jig was also marketed by Towa.
Does anyone have this jig and can point me at a suitable cutter (¼" shank)?
And does anyone have the instructions they can let me have a scan of?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum Irma. Does this look like your jig? Shop Tools and Machinery at Grizzly.com It is a link from another thread with the same question as yours.
If it is, this is the manual for it. Below is a photo of the spacing on a standard 1/2" jig.

There is some info in post 12 of this thread about the bit but if it is the same as the one in the link it is just a generic 1/2" dovetail jig and cutters are readily available for them, just not sure who your regular suppliers are in the UK. Should be one of these.
Hope I am on the right track and not leading you up the garden path.Dallas

Unfortunately, that link no longer works - or is it just me

Thanks Treecycle, not the exact jig you are suggesting, but it should be close. However, I'd like to get the correct manual as I am having real problems working out how a ½" cutter can produce a dovetail where the pins are 1" apart
Thanks NCArcher, that's the same jig, but unfortunately the link to the manual no longer works, or the file has become corrupted or something.
Lappa, not just you by the looks of things.

Might be a looooonnnnngggggg shot, but there is one on Gumtree from July 2017, with a manual, that’s not marked as sold.
Maybe worth a phone call?

Thanks for the replies, but still haven't managed to track down a manual. However, reading other manuals and talking to people in the Router centre (Southampton), I have identified (I hope) the bits I need.
The Trend GB12 bush and the Trend C160A cutter seem to do the job, I've not actually used them in anger, but I've cut some dovetails in some scrape ply that suggest it all does what is needed.
I did machine a little off the bush, but now think I didn't need too )
Note, the C160A is 15.9mm wide, still can't see how a 12.7mm wide cutter could possibly work...
Thanks for all the responses.
