Your cart is empty.The MATCHFIT Dovetail Router Bit is specifically designed for the match fit Dovetail clamps and dovetail hardware. Its unique design uses the same standard 14-degree, ½” profile, but with rounded corners. It routes incredibly clean Dovetail grooves and requires less sanding, making the match fit system faster and easier than ever before. Down Shear - the 8-degree down Shear utilizes the bit's rotation to evacuate chips and dust, reducing friction, and heat, resulting in cleaner cuts. Bottom round over - the bottom of the dovetail Groove Bears the majority of the clamping pressure. The 1/32” round over strengthens that bottom corner by removing less material. This is especially important when routing grooves in plywood, as it minimized the possibility of plies Separating. Top round over - the 1/16” round over at the top of the dovetail Groove has several functions. Firstly, it prevents tear out and fuzz, significantly reducing the amount of sanding needed. It also provides a range of tolerance. The bit can be set to a depth anywhere between . 365” and . 385”, and still be fully compatible with the match fit line of products. Within that range, The width of the Groove opening at the top will remain the same, but with varying round over exposure. The shallower the Groove, the smaller the round over. The deeper The Groove, the more pronounced the round over will be. Laser cut ⅜” depth guide - the depth guide line is exactly ⅜” from the end of the carbide cutter. With the depth guide line even with the surface of the material, The bit will cut a . 375” deep groove, which is in the middle of its range of tolerance. Wide base - the wide base reduces vibration and noise while routing grooves, resulting in smoother, cleaner cuts. Router collet safety line - the router collet safety line shows how deep into the collet the bit should be. The shank of the bit was designed to be as long as possible, while still fitting into any Major manufacturers’ router. This provides more surface area for the collet to grip, reducing vibration for a smoother cut, and minimizing the Risk of the bit loosening and ejecting from the router.

The proprietary dovetail bit is like what micro jig claims. The little round over makes all the difference on plywood. I'd still use 1/4 spiral bit to cut a groove first then use this.

I was building my own woodworking table and needed to rout many dovetail grooves for the Matchfit dovetail clamps. This router bit does exactly what it says and works perfectly. I would strongly recommend following Matchfit's instructions but first cutting a 1/4" slot to reduce the workload on this dovetail bit. I used a DeWalt trim router for my application (1/4" shank). This took a slow a steady approach to cutting the slots.This is a specialty router bit and the price seems a bit excessive. Similar router bits are available but they don't have the unique features (1/16" rounded relief edge) that this bit does.

This router bit worked fantastic for making a joiner jig for my tablesaw. It holds the micro G clamps perfectly. Strong and solid bit and never bogged down.

I have just changed over to the matchfit clamping system for my woodworking project. So many different ways to clamp your woodwork, it means no more metal T Track.

I love the bit for what it does. I hate it for the fact that it burns out "quickly". This bit is built to create grooves for match fit in workbenches. It's painful to keep switching between the 1/4" relief bit and then the dovetail bit to make one groove, I wish Matchfit would just engineer a better bit (more cutters? spiral? better carbide?) to do the job in one go.As it is, this bit lasts about half a typical workbench before it blackens and loses its edge.

Didn't know what to expect from a set of (4) flush trim router bits at this low of a price point, but thought I'd give it a try as I had an immediate, but small, need for one of them, and am just an amateur woodworker so I didn't want to invest a big amount of money. Got these and immediately put one to use, and it did great! Plowed right through the wood (1/8" pass at a time), and left nice, clean edges that helped me make nice, snug dado cuts.
