Mortising and Grooving Accessory
Doweling Accessory
Mortises in the true sense have square corners to match the square edges
of the mating tenons. A mortise with rounded ends works fine, especially
when the mating tenon is rounded to match it. With the mortising / doweling
insert for the ChestMate Dovetail Jig, it's very easy to make any length
mortise up to 1/2 inch wide as deep as a plunge router will provide on any
width stock up to 2 1/2 inches wide. It is not intended in any way to use the
ChestMate for making tenons. Please be safe with your choice of methods.

With an indexing screw moved from it's
stowed position to one of two use positions,
the ChestMate Jig with the mortising /
doweling accessory can be use with a shop
made indexing board as a very accurate and
easy to use doweling jig. The indexing board
provides the accuracy needed for dowel
spacing and the ChestMate Jig provides
extremely accurate positioning of the holes
from front to back, resulting in flush glued
surfaces.
The ChestMate works best for doweling when
using twist drills instead of straight cutters.
Shown is a 1/4 inch twist drill used to provide
holes for 1/4 inch fluted dowels.
