Festool VS 600 SZ 20 Dovetail Joint Template

At a Glance: 20mm half-blind dovetail joint template for the Festool VS 600 routing system, suitable for workpieces 21–28mm thick.

The Festool VS 600 SZ 20 Dovetail Joint Template is a precision routing template developed for producing perfectly repeatable 20mm half-blind dovetail joints with the Festool VS 600 Jointing System. Designed for professional cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers and fine woodworking applications, this template makes it possible to create strong, attractive corner joints with exceptional consistency.

The template inserts quickly into the VS 600 base unit, allowing identical joints to be produced repeatedly without complicated setup. Precision-machined lateral stops accurately position both the template and the workpiece, ensuring excellent alignment and consistently tight-fitting dovetail joints every time.

Specifically designed for workpieces between 21mm and 28mm thick, the VS 600 SZ 20 creates classic half-blind dovetail joints that are widely used in premium drawer construction, solid wood boxes and fine furniture. A 24mm copying ring for the OF 1010 router is included, while copying rings for the OF 1400 are available separately.

Professional dovetail accuracy with the VS 600 system

The Festool VS 600 Jointing System allows woodworkers to produce highly accurate and repeatable traditional joinery with remarkable efficiency. The SZ 20 template delivers the precision needed for premium-quality half-blind dovetail joints while dramatically reducing layout time and improving production consistency.
