Dovetail jigs for accurate router-made joints

NOVA dovetail jigs help you make strong, clean and decorative joints with a hand router. They are a practical choice for drawers, boxes, cabinets, furniture parts and other woodworking projects where repeatability and a neat finish matter.

A dovetail jig holds the workpiece securely and guides the router so the joint can be cut consistently from piece to piece. This saves time compared with marking and cutting every joint by hand, while still giving the project a traditional dovetail look.

Choose the right working width

The main selection factor is the width of the parts you want to join. A 12" dovetail jig is a compact option for smaller drawers, boxes and workshop projects. It offers up to 305 mm working width and is easy to place in a smaller workspace.

For larger cabinet work and wider components, the 24" model gives a working width of up to 610 mm and a maximum material height of 35 mm. The 18" version sits between these sizes and is a versatile choice when you want more capacity than a compact jig without moving to the widest model.

Router bits and setup accessories

For best results, use the correct router bit size for the template and joint type. Dovetail jig router bits are available in common sizes such as 1/2", 7/16" and 9/16", and an inch/mm adapter can help when matching accessories to your router setup.

Safety equipment is also worth adding to the order. Protective gloves and safety goggles make setup, routing and handling sharp cutters safer and more comfortable.
