Great video! Thanks for going into detail on how to set the bit depth of cut. The Porter Cable manual is misleading when it says that the gap from the top of depth stop should be 3/8" from the bottom of the template in all cases. That isn't true for through joints. The depth of the bit for tail cuts should be the thickness of the pin board and vica versa on through joints. Thanks again for the details

Great demo video I liked the tips about setting and checking the depth and the tightness of the joint.. A couple tips I got from Kings Fine Woodworking demo video on this jig especially if you do not use it very often. Take a sharpie and write on the template about where the outside of the stock is to face when cutting the pins and tails. I am sure other people have thought about this I put a piece of tape on the outside of the stock so when I flip it from end to end so I do not make a mistake and cut them the opposite way.. A pencil mark will work also, but a bright piece of tape catch’s a persons eye better.

Thank you Tracy for a great instructional video! I have just began to use my porter cable jig and on the advice of another person posting on You tube I installed an additional nut back of the brass one. This allowed me to snub it down after getting the final adjustment and prevented any movement. I used a regular hex nut for this purpose and found it to work well. Again this was not my original idea and it seemed to address a possible concern. Thanks again for your excellent teaching technique. Best regards Gordon

Mine was brand new in the box for 2 years. This made me want to open mine and do some boxes. Ty

The best instructional video I’ve seen on dovetail joints, and the Porter Cable jig system. You have an excellent teaching manner. I’ve subscribed. Thank you. Is the Porter Cable jig system your favorite? Charlie Cunningham

Thank you. It is. It is the only one I have ever used. Except cutting dovetails by hand.
