hi,
sorry if this seems trivial or even asked previous but is it possable to cut through dovetail from the templates using thicker timber ( 19mm) than the suggested thickness?. Checked all the promo viddeos bought my setup just before the dvd was bundled with it:no:

For through dovetails with the Incra system you need to set the depth of cut, then plane the timber to match.
Now, 19mm is about 3/4" (0.748 - close enough), so template DOVU should work in that case.

There is a template generator program online for free download. Search the forum for the link.
You'll need the correct dovetail bit, that is one that gives a tight fit at 19mm/3/4" cut. You might have to dress your timber a bit to match the cutter. That is the case with any system that uses a router to cut through dovetails. The incra/woodrat/leigh/etc only positions the wood for the cut, the bit has to be the right one.

My apologies, less haste more speed (not hard to find though - search on "template generator":-)
Link works now for all you "search challenged" people.:2tsup:
