Nice dovetail jig and 90 degree trim tool

I purchased this tool to assist with 90 degree cuts on dovetails and also to help accurately cut trim such as quarter round at 45 degrees. It is small and convenient and accurate with stiff backed small saws.

Pros
  • Easy to use.
Cons
  • It did not measure to 8:1 ratio.

This ain't it, chief.

I bought this before ever trying to cut dovetails by hand before thinking it would be good training to do so. I tried a simple 90 degree cut 3 times and all 3 times were significantly off compared to a known good square. The 3rd try resulted in the jig being damaged when the saw tilted slightly and cut into the aluminum.Then, I decided I would try to cut without the jig and just free-hand it. I got it perfectly square the first try, and it was faster than using the jig and took less effort…

Cons

May not work well with some saws.

I DO like this guide and I can get some really good results with it. But be aware that this saw guide will not work well with some saw types.My Japanese Dozuki does great with this dovetail saw guide because it has very little kerf on the blade. So the guide glides easily along the edge.However, my Vertias (European style) dovetail saw which has a LOT of kerf tears into the metal of this saw guide with each pass in addition to dulling my saw blade.I would not recommend using this guide if you…

Pros
  • ‎Silicone
Cons
  • Not compatible with all saw blade sizes

It works; hopefully it'll teach me to improve

Makes cutting dovetails easy, but seems like "cheating." If it gives me the "muscle memory" to cut dovetails without using the jig, that'll be great.

Pros
  • I bought this as a gift for my husband. He liked it.
Cons
  • Requires additional measuring tools

Just what a beginner needs

I'm new to cutting dovetails and was looking for a guide to help out, this guide is well designed and very sturdy. I have used it several times and have been able to cut tight tails and pins.

Pros
  • Perfect🤩
Cons
  • May not work well with thicker lumber

Pretty nifty good for me

Works as advertised. Just line up the saw blade; and not the guide, to your cut line and go. Gives decent repetitive results. I normally use a squared wood block, but these guide work better and quicker for me.

Pros
  • ✔️ STURDY ALUMINUM MATERIAL & SUBSTANTIAL WEIGHT - Woodraphic’s All New Dovetail Saw Guide is smaller but sturdier. Product is heavier than it appears to prevent any loose grip, shaking, or slipping; The main material is aluminum which attributes to its strong durability even after multiple usage.

Cons
  • May interfere with other tools in workshop

Perfect for a Beginner

I have just started working with hand tools and doing more refined woodworking. This Woodraphic All New Dovetail Hand Magnetic Saw Guide is perfect for learning how to do dovetail joints effectively. The magnetic feature really helps keep my pull saw on the right angle while im making cuts. Though my joints are far from perfect, they are SIGNIFICANTLY better than they would be without the jig. For the price, Im very happy with the results. No complaints.

Pros
  • ‎Manufacturer
Cons
  • Additional setup time required
