You simply clamp the Keller Templates to your workpiece, pick up your router, and start cutting. In only 2 to 5 minutes you will cut both haves of a dovetail joint. The results will be clean, precise, and snug fitting, beautiful hand-cut proportions.
You get through dovetail joints in any width stock. Unlike other jigs, there are no built-in stops to limit the width of your work. If your work is wider than your templates, simply slide the template along and continue cutting. Keller gives you a consistently tight dovetail joints regardless of the wood thickness or the router bit setting. All other jigs require time-wasting readjustments and test cuts every time you change your wood thickness.
In addition, you can join wood of the same or different thickness with the same setup. If your design calls for variable spacing, compound angles, end-to-end dovetails, or finger joints, the Keller system gives you these options. You can vary the spacing by erely shifting the location of the templates in between cuts, changing the size of the tails or pins, while easily maintaining excellent accuracy and beautiful proportions.
