AKEDA's Model DC16 is even better than before! We've made the improvements you asked for!

We've even tweaked our quality control process to bring you the highest quality fully-assembled dovetail jig available anywhere.

AKEDA 12pce. A-Kit

Available later in the year. In the interim, we've arranged with our dealers for special pricing when you purchase a dust kit and bit set at the same time you purchase an AKEDA dovetail jig. Offer applies to DC16 and BC24 model jigs.

AKEDA Oversize and Undersize Guide Bushings

These new .004" oversize and undersize guide bushings replace the undersize and oversize straight bits respectively. They can be used with one bit, or both if necessary. They are included with the B-Kit and C-Kit, and also available as separate accessories.

Product Updates

Please note the following:

AKEDA Router Bits

All AKEDA's router bits now have an 8mm shank. All the straight bits are now plunge bits.

Some routers include an 8mm collet, some you can order one from the manufacturer. If not, you will need an AKEDA 8mm adaptor for your 1/2" collet. It's available as an accessory and it's also included in the C-Kit. These 8mm shank bits are stronger and stiffer, and will help reduce vibration.

AKEDA Oversize and Undersize Straight Bits

The .004" oversize and .004" undersize straight bits are discontinued. Instead, use the .004" undersize and .004" oversize guide bushings respectively (see above).

AKEDA 7pce. Bit Set

The bit set no longer includes the oversize and undersize straight bits, but we've added the .350" box joint bit to the set. All bits have an 8mm shank and both straight bits are plunge cutters.

AKEDA 64pce. C-Kit

The DC Kit has been replaced with the new C-Kit. It now includes 8mm shank bits, a 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer, an extra length of tail guide spacer extrusion, and a .350" box joint bit.

Since the oversize and undersize straight bits are discontinued, the C-Kit now contains all three guide bushings (standard, oversize and undersize). The half blind pin stops are now included with the dovetail jigs.

The new C-Kit now contains over $350 in accessories if purchased separately.

AKEDA 2008 Model DC16 and BC24 Dovetail Jigs

Both dovetail jigs now include the standard guide bushing and a pair of half blind pin stops. The DC16 now includes ten of each guide finger (previously nine) and the BC24, fifteen of each.
