I've had my dovetail jig for several months now. I feel comfortable with through dovetails. Half blinds are more of an issue for me.
Other than trial and erro, how can the half-blind router bit be adjusted to the correct depth? I'm trying to use the mini half-blind jig and the depth gauge on the jig is setup, as it had to be assembled from its packaging.
Also, when is the right side of the jig used? So far, all my cutting has been from the left side and seems to me the left side may have a purpose as it has dovetail spaces for both sides. I suspect there may be a use that would help make drawers earier than what I'm doing.
Any other tips using a dovetail jig will be appreciated. So far, I haven't made the perfect joint with it yet. Something different seems to be off a bit with each usage.
