A simple, elegant dovetail jig. Master it in minutes!
BC24 Blanket Chest DOVETAIL Jig™
Five Different Dovetail Pin Angles!
New For 2008!
AKEDA Model BC24 dovetail jig is the newest addition to AKEDA’s line of woodworking jigs. Weighing a phenomenal 38lbs. of steel and aluminum, this heavyweight is built for the toughest applications.
It’s made specifically for dovetails on 24” deep carcasses.
Variable Pin Angle – Stronger Dovetails
This feature is unique to all AKEDA dovetail jigs.
As well as the wood species, the strength of a dovetail joint is determined by three variables:
- the strength of the adhesive,
- the thickness of the stock, and
- the angle of the dovetail.
As your stock gets thinner, you need a steeper dovetail angle to maintain strength. And the steeper dovetail angle automatically provides a larger gluing area.
Finer Aesthetics
The AKEDA is the only dovetail jig that allows you to vary your through dovetail pin angle according to your stock thickness. There are five optional through dovetail pin angles, ranging from 7° for 3/4” stock up to 20° pins for 1/4” stock. A 6° pin guide and router bit for 1” stock will available later in 2008.
There’s a saying that goes, “If it looks right, it is right”, and steeper dovetail pin angles look right in thinner stock. They have greater holding power.
One more thing. AKEDA's dovetail bits are .445" diameter. It means you can create pins that are slightly more slender, and therefore more elegant and traditional than is possible with the common 1/2” dovetail jigs. Professional craftsmen spot this subtle difference right away.
But Wait… There’s More To Be Discovered!
Variable dovetail pin angle is just one of many features unique to the AKEDA dovetail jig. AKEDA's Model DC16 Drawer Construction Jig shares the same features. Play with the 3D model, read about the technology, and view the videos for further information.
