Dovetail-Jig Stabilizing Fence Woodworking Plan

Have you ever struggled to keep boards properly aligned in your dovetail jig? Most jigs rely on a small cam to position the board, but don’t provide enough support along the length of the board to prevent racking. Without proper alignment, the dovetails vary slightly in length, resulting in a poor fit.

Our dovetail jig fence provides support on both horizontal and vertical planes. And, the fence bars adjust so you can fine-tune them to match your jig setup. We built this fence for a Porter-Cable model 5008 Dovetail Templet, but you can adapt the fence to fit your particular jig.
