The CMT300-T129 Through Dovetail Template is a precision-engineered brown-coded template designed for use with the CMT300 Universal Dovetail Jig, enabling woodworkers to cut clean, accurate through dovetail joints with a 1/2 in. (12.7mm) dovetail size. Spanning a total length of 300mm, this template accommodates stock thicknesses from 5/16 in. to 25/32 in., making it a versatile choice for a wide range of cabinet, box, and furniture joinery applications. The distinct brown color coding makes it easy to identify and pair with the correct guide and bits at a glance, reducing setup errors and keeping your workflow efficient.

Key Features

• 1/2 in. (12.7mm) dovetail size - produces a classic, strong through dovetail joint that delivers both mechanical strength and a traditional hand-cut appearance in your finished woodwork.
• 300mm total template length - provides enough span to accommodate multiple joint positions across typical drawer sides and box panels without repositioning.
• Stock thickness range of 5/16 in. to 25/32 in. - covers a broad selection of common lumber and panel thicknesses, giving you flexibility across different project types without swapping templates.
• Brown color coding - instantly distinguishes this template from other sizes in the CMT300 system, eliminating guesswork during setup and preventing mismatched configurations.
• Supplied with a 11.1 x 4mm (7/16 in. x 5/32 in.) precision guide (899.0) - the included guide ensures proper router bit alignment right out of the box, so you can begin routing accurate joints without sourcing additional accessories.
• Designed specifically for through dovetail joints - optimized geometry delivers consistent, repeatable joint geometry that fits tightly without hand fitting, saving time on every production run.

Why This Product

• The 1/2 in. through dovetail profile is one of the most widely used joint sizes in furniture and cabinetry, and this template is purpose-built to cut it accurately every time - matching the CMT300 system's precision standards without guesswork or custom setup.
• The included precision guide (11.1 x 4mm / 7/16 in. x 5/32 in.) means you have everything needed for proper bit alignment as soon as the template arrives, reducing the number of separate parts to source and track.
• The color-coded brown identification system is a practical advantage in any shop where multiple dovetail sizes are in use - you can grab the right template immediately without reading fine print or measuring each one.
• A stock thickness range of 5/16 in. to 25/32 in. means this single template handles materials from thin drawer bottoms through heavier cabinet sides, making it a practical investment for woodworkers who work across multiple project scales.
