This is a dovetail router bit designed for template routing, workholding with MATCHFIT dovetail clamps, and simple sliding joinery, in a router table or handheld router.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard MATCHFIT dovetail groove is cut into the underside of a board and needs about 3\/4 in. of material. The reversed bit flips that profile upside down and cuts it from the top at the same 3\/8-in. depth, using the same MATCHFIT Setup Gauge as the standard dovetail bit. That means templates can be as thin as 3\/8 in. (9.5 mm), and MATCHFIT clamp heads sit completely below the surface. Flush-trim bits, routers and sanders pass right over the clamps with nothing to steer around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor template routing, you cut the template shape and its grooves together, then let MATCHFIT clamps hold the template below the stock at the router table or clamp template and workpiece to a bench for handheld routing. The template becomes its own clamping system. It's CNC-friendly too: rout the shape and grooves in the same session, or make each groove in one straight pass against a router table fence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same groove turns any shop-built board into a clampable work surface. Cut a groove across the top of a board and you can clamp it to a table, countertop or sawhorse with MATCHFIT clamps, with no dovetail on the underside and no need for thicker material. It works in wood, acrylic and polycarbonate; at 3\/8-in. thickness the bit will cut through, so use stopped cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMate mirrored cuts and the bit also makes sliding joints for wooden drawer slides, trays, sliding lids and drop-leaf supports. MicroJig's Radius Flair at the top of the carbide cutter leaves clean edges with virtually no tearout. Buy this if you already use MATCHFIT clamps and want thinner templates and flush, out-of-the-way clamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClamp Thin Templates Flush\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.prod.website-files.com\/5cfd83cf1c26ab7392063e1f\/6a8d2b668a94b7233afab66c_6%20copy%202-100.jpg\" alt=\"Micro Jig MATCHFIT reversed dovetail bit groove holding a MATCHFIT clamp below the surface of a thin router template\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reversed groove lets a 3\/8-in. template carry its own clamps, with the clamp heads sitting below the top so the router never hits them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemplates down to 3\/8 in.
