Abstract
Abstract This invention is concerned with dovetail fixtures for clamping and holding orthogonally disposed workpieces and for guiding a cutting tool. A slotted guide member in the form of a comb or template is held against one of the workpieces to guide a router or similar cutting tool as the bit traces the dovetail pattern. A different cutter guiding template is employed herein. In addition novel workpiece locating members are movably attached to both the horizontal and the vertical work-receiving surfaces for spacing workpieces relative to each other during cutting.
