Pro Tips

Always make a test joint on offcut timber of the same thickness before routing the final workpieces.
Clearly mark the inside face, outside face and orientation of each board before routing to avoid reversing parts.
Use sharp router cutters and steady feed pressure for cleaner shoulders, crisper pins and better-fitting joints.
Keep the VS 600 base unit, template and workpiece contact areas clean so the timber seats accurately.
Make fine adjustments with the eccentric gears until the dovetail fit is firm, clean and not overly tight.

Safety

Wear eye, ear and dust protection when routing solid wood or board materials.
Always disconnect the router from power before fitting copying rings, cutters or accessories.
Ensure the VS 600 base unit, template kit and workpiece are securely clamped before routing.
Use only compatible routers, copying rings and router cutters for the selected dovetail setup.
Keep hands clear of the cutter path and never reach underneath the router while it is running.
Do not force the router through the timber; use controlled feed pressure to reduce tear-out and cutter strain.
Allow the router bit to stop completely before lifting the router away from the template.
Check all adjustment points before cutting the final workpiece to prevent poor joint fit or material damage.
