I assume the jig works with routers using 1/4" bits as long as you use the correct bushing?

I believe this will work using 1/4" dovetail bits, providing you have the correct bushing. I always use 1/2" bits for this because they are much less likely to experience harmonic vibration (chatter) because of the larger diameter shaft. This is an excellent dovetail jig which I am certain will provide you with perfect dovetails for many year.

I'm sure it would work, but because of amount of material needing to be cleared out, especially with 3/4" lumber, I think the 1/2" bit would be the safest route to go.

I don't know the dimensions of that particular router table, but I do know that this jig requires a T-slot located 6-6.5" away from the center of the insert plate. If your table is large enough, it's easy enough to install a T-slot if one does not already exist in the right spot. But I learned the hard way that a small/bench-top router table will not work with this jig. But that makes a good excuse to build/buy a new router table.

I think no. The faceplate of the router has a 3 1/4 inch center hole, where the porter cable type bushings are for a router with a 1 3/16 center hole. The router comes with a metal guide that attaches to the base and provides this need without guide bushings. I do not use guide feature, as this unit is for a router table in my shop, so it did not bother me. note the large center hole in pictures of this unit. you will simply see that there is no way it would work with the guide bushings. Sorry.

Yep, it takes standard 1 3/16" diameter guide bushings. But if I need to use guide bushings, I generally use a larger router than the 611. This is a fine router, and my wife can handle it what with its soft start and small form. But it's not for really heavy-duty work. I am reminded of the difference between a good project and a GREAT project; a good one is one within my abilities, will make my wife (or life -- often there's overlap) happy. A GREAT project also needs a new tool! Maybe this can be the opportunity to convert to a great project.

Hello Lorenzo,You would want 1-1/4" screws to connect two pieces at the 3/4" jig setting. Hope that helps.

The choice of routers is up to you, but they recommend using a larger router in a table, which is what you would use the router Raizer in. The larger router would use a 1/2" bit, although, you can use 1/4" bits using an adapter. I do this all the time. There is no need to buy a whole new set of 1/2" bits. The routers that can use 1/2" bits have more power. You'll want this, as in a way, you are substituting the router table for a much more powerful tool, the shaper. Few people buy the shapers anymore, as they have switched to the router table.

It will handle 1/2" and 1/4" shank bits. I've used 3 1/2" raised panel bits in it with no problems, athough I did those cuts in 2-3 passes. Regardless of the router, a full cut with those bits is not recommended anyway.

You can't. Jig and router much too large. You are better off using a hole saw bit for that size and then cleaning it up with the router.

I would not recommend as a "working bit" much bigger than 3/16" but you could use a 1/4" I would not recommend it.

i would never advise it. First off the Dremel can not receive a 1/2 inch router bit and anything less would cause extreme vibration due to a lack of rpm's. Hand held routers need a platform to rest on top of the piece you are working so you can plunge into the wood.

James, I don't see why not. The 1/4" plunge shaft request a 1/4" bits. The Edge guide must fit your router, because the mounting plate will fit 1/4" as well as 1/2". Regards

The answer may vary depending on the thickness of the router baseplate. If too thin, it might drag on your work piece. In that situation, you can file the tip of the guide bushing until it doesn't touch your work piece.

What do you mean by "router base hole of 1 3/4 in"? You mean depth of hole? If so, the answer is yes, sure.

The router bits have 1/8 inch shafts that only fit the Dremel tool. They are designed for small work and do an excellent job as long as you remember their intended purpose. They work best with Dremel plunge router accessory.

I have used a 3 1/2 inch raised panel bit with this mounted in my router table. Of course with the speed dialed down to what they recommend. And that bit has a 1/2 inch shank. It does a great job.

I think relatively easily with the correct bit, also would depend on the lumber.I have the router fence attachment and also a rockler sub base which means you can use guide bushings, however the standard base won't take bushing that I know of.

you will have to put a reducer on the bits as they are primarily hex shaft 1/4 inch. I would suggest getting a drill driver and save the hassle.
