Black and Decker Jig???
I have "inherited" a woodwork class.
The kids are very enthuiastic but want instant results (who doesn't these days). We're having great fun turning al sorts of wood, from Radiata to Huon Pine into piles of sawdust.
Anyway, rummaging in the back of the cupbard I found a B&D dovetail jig.
Would anyone happen to have any instructions for this?
Thanks
Chris

If it's one of the generic jigs this might do the job

Haggismuncher, I still have my B&D dovetail jig in and I think the instructions are still tucked in between it and its mounting board. If the mice and/or silverfish haven't eaten it I will scan over the weekend and send.

Haggismuncher, I found the (nearly 40 year old) instructions and, through the miracles of insect spray and magic tape, I have attempted to scan them for you. If they are illegible, send me a PM and I'll post the originals,

Thanks for that Fletty,
I had a bit of a play with the jig yesterday (before i read your post) using my trusty GMC router which was "an experience" not knowing which size of bit to use and how to set it up was not helped by me using some extremely hard hard wood.
It looks like I may be able to set it up in the work shop so the kids can turn out hidden dovetail boxes. I am at the stage of pulling my hair out trying to get them to measure before they cut, and if they measure then to pay some attention to the mark.
Oh to be a teenager and so impatient!

Not sure whether teenagers and routers are a good mix. They are pretty dangerous in the hands of "absent minded" people.

The kids were using the bandsaw before I took over.......
As for the grade 7 who was going to stop the jointer with his fingers because he didn't realise it had blades and you get the idea of the hill I have to climb.
First there was a door (with lock) put back on the machinery room then a big lock on anything sharp, the older kids complain it is not as much fun but I just point out I am not here to get sued!
It is a case of little knowledge being a dangerous thing.
Many have used Dad's machinery at home but have learned some really dangerous habits. Safety gear is nasty surprise, "Why would we wear that?"
(Not to mention the table saw blade with the arbor spacer weilded in place,by a kid, and heat distortion spots all over it).
