CMT300 Universal Dovetail Jig is a precision-engineered jointing system designed to bring classic dovetail craftsmanship within reach of every woodworker. With a total length of 305mm, this universal dovetail jig accepts a wide range of stock thicknesses - from 7/16 inch to 1 inch - making it a versatile solution for half blind dovetail joinery, through dovetail joinery, and box joint work. Built with a rugged steel body and compatible with hand routers, the CMT300 simplifies complex jointing so you can achieve professional results without guesswork. The universal jointing system approach means one jig can handle multiple joint patterns with the right template, making it an efficient addition to any woodworking shop.

Key Features

• Steel body construction - provides long-lasting rigidity and dimensional accuracy, ensuring joints are consistent cut after cut without flex or drift in the jig body.
• 305mm total length capacity - accommodates a practical range of workpiece widths for cabinet sides, drawer boxes, and decorative joinery applications.
• Stock thickness range of 7/16 inch to 1 inch - covers common lumber and sheet goods thicknesses, reducing the need to resaw or mill stock to a single specific dimension before jointing.
• Universal jointing system design - accepts multiple optional templates so the same jig can produce half blind dovetails, through dovetails, and box joints, maximizing the value of a single tool investment.
• Compatible with hand routers - works with standard handheld routing equipment already common in most woodworking setups, so no specialized machinery is required.
• Includes CMT300-T128 half blind template and 5/8 inch x 5/32 inch template guide - ready to produce half blind dovetail joints right out of the box, with no additional template purchase needed to get started.
• Factory-preset stops - permanent stops eliminate setup guesswork and reduce preparation time, letting you focus on the cut rather than calibration.
• Multiple optional templates available (T064, T080, T127, T129, T190) - expand the jig's jointing capabilities to include 1/4 inch half blind, box joints, 1/2 inch through dovetail, and 3/4 inch through dovetail patterns as your projects demand.

Why This Product

• Dovetail joints carry a reputation for complexity, but the CMT300 universal jointing system addresses that directly by combining preset stops, a ready-to-use included template, and a steel body that holds alignment - so woodworkers who have avoided dovetails due to setup difficulty now have a practical path forward.
• One jig, many joint types: because the CMT300 accepts a range of optional templates, you are not locked into a single joint pattern - the same tool handles half blind dovetails, through dovetails, and box joints, giving you flexibility across different project types without purchasing a separate jig for each.
• The 7/16 inch to 1 inch stock thickness range covers hardwood, softwood, plywood, and MDF in common milled dimensions, meaning the jig works with materials already on hand rather than requiring stock to be resized specifically for the tool.
• Made in Italy with a steel body designed for longevity, this dovetail jig is built to maintain accurate, repeatable results over extended use - suitable for both occasional furniture projects and higher-volume joinery work.
