Deep Beautiful 14 Degree Dovetails with a PC Jig? Yep.

Thanks for the update. :)
The 14 degree dovetails indeed look better than the 7 degree ones. A good trick to add to the arsenal.

I like the look.

Did you use the standard bushing?

3/4” Front and 1/2” sides?

Jim,
Yes I used the standard PC bushing. In this case I used 3/4” fronts and 1/2” sides, hovever other thicknesses will work too.
The PC advanced manual makes it seem like you need to use two bits and a two-pass method to achieve this look. I should mention that with this bit… it is a one bit, one-pass method.

This is really good to know, as I put mine on the shelf for the reason you mentioned. Thanks!

Thanks, Willie.

Better looking tails, and still a single pass, huh?

I’m gonna have to give these a try. The 1/2” shank version (Item # 91089) is only $17.99 at Rockler. Very cool!

I just completed 12 drawers using the 14 degree bit, and was really impressed with the results. I am using 3/4” oak for the fronts, and 3/4” poplar for the sides. I can’t believe how much stronger these joints feel with the bigger dovetails.

The setup is so easy on the Porter Cable 4210 / 4212 jig.

This is Super!

Thanks for the information nice to know.So you can use the 7 or the 14 degree bits with the same template?

Willie, these are very nice looking DTs. I can hardly wait to see the finished product.

Paul,
You can use both 7 and 14 degree bits for the half blind template.
The through dovetail template is limited to a 7 degree bit.

Good luck!
