I am making lots of drawers using an Akeda dovetail jig. They are
half blind and the wood is 3/4" baltic birch for the front and back and 1/2" for the sides. I have made some sample cuts to get the dept of cut adjustment correct. The current adjustment yields a comfortably tight joint with complete contact between the pins and tails. However, there is a uniform gap of about 1/16" between the bottom of the tails on the sides of the drawer and the pins on the front face of the drawer. At first I thought some part of a wood layer in the baltic birch had chipped out during the process of cutting the pins. However, that appears not to be the case; it has a nice smooth surface formed by the router. Anybody had this problem with the Akeda? Len |
