    Ok I have searched and been unable to find instructions for this. Anyone got them?

    I used to have a copy lathe made by them, (30 years ago) I could not get instructions for that back then. Dovetail machines of that basic design are just really big versions of the small bench units used with a router (actually it's the other way around) it would not take long to nut it out, a few pieces of scrap MDF could be used so you don't waste good stuff

    Mine looks a step below - but still a step above the simple router jigs. mine has the cast iron swing arm -kinda elbow thing -and if set up right will do both joints at once -blind and through even dovetail -presume that will do box joints as well -haven't tried yet.
    Was still a good $80 investment at the auctions.

    Yeah, I have it set up to do 18mm boards, but they are too thick for my liking. It’d be nice to be able to quickly dial it in to a setting than stuff around.

    Any idea if the bits are available anywhere?
