Product Description
The CMT300-T064 Half Blind Template is a precision-engineered dovetail template designed for use with the CMT300 Universal Dovetail Jig. Color-coded green for quick identification, this 1/4 in. half blind template lets woodworkers produce clean, tight-fitting half blind dovetail joints with repeatable accuracy. With a total length of 300mm and compatibility with stock thicknesses ranging from 5/16 in. to 15/32 in., it covers a practical range of common hardwood and softwood workpiece dimensions - making it a reliable choice for drawer construction, box joinery, and other fine woodworking applications where a concealed dovetail joint is required.
Key Features
- 1/4 in. (6.3mm) dovetail size - produces precisely sized half blind dovetail joints suited to a wide range of drawer and cabinet applications
- Green color-coded template - allows for instant visual identification when switching between multiple template sizes on the CMT300 jig, reducing setup errors
- Half blind template design - creates concealed dovetail joints where the joint is hidden from the front face, ideal for drawer fronts and decorative casework
- 300mm total length - provides a generous working span so wider workpieces can be jointed in a single setup pass
- Compatible with stock thicknesses of 5/16 in. to 15/32 in. - accommodates typical solid wood panel and plywood thicknesses used in furniture and cabinetry
- Supplied with a precision guide (Ø7.8 x 4mm / 5/16 in. x 5/32 in.) - ensures the router bit follows the template accurately, delivering clean, consistent dovetail cuts every time
Why This Product
- The included 5/16 in. x 5/32 in. precision guide bushing eliminates the need to source a compatible guide separately, so you can get straight to cutting accurate half blind dovetails right out of the box.
- The green color-coding system makes this template instantly distinguishable from other CMT300 dovetail templates, saving setup time when working with multiple joint sizes on the same project.
- The 5/16 in. to 15/32 in. stock thickness range covers the most common material thicknesses used in drawer box and cabinet construction, making this template a versatile fit for everyday shop work.
- As a dedicated half blind template for the CMT300 system, it delivers repeatable joint geometry cut after cut - reducing tearout risk and the need for hand-fitting when producing multiple matching joints.

Frequently Asked Questions
What jig is this template compatible with?
This template is designed specifically for use with the CMT300 Universal Dovetail Jig. It is not a standalone tool and requires the CMT300 jig to function correctly.
What type of joint does a half blind dovetail template produce?
A half blind dovetail joint is a concealed dovetail where the joint is hidden from one face of the workpiece - typically the front. This makes it the preferred choice for drawer front construction and decorative casework where visible joinery on the face is undesirable.
Does this template come with the precision guide bushing needed to use it?
Yes. The CMT300-T064 is supplied with a Ø7.8 x 4mm (5/16 in. x 5/32 in.) precision guide bushing, so no additional guide needs to be purchased separately to begin use.
What stock thicknesses can this template handle?
This template accommodates workpiece thicknesses from 5/16 in. to 15/32 in., covering the range of solid wood and sheet goods commonly used in drawer box and cabinet joinery applications.
