Rob Cosman's Dovetail Trainer

Description

The most common problems students have when learning to cut dovetails  is how to make a plumb (straight up and down) cut on the pins and angled cuts on the tails.  The secret is to develop the muscle memory so you can "feel" these cuts.  I developed my Dovetail Trainer to help students quickly and accurately develop this "feel" and build lasting muscle memory. 

• Attaching my Dovetail Trainer to the end of your dovetail saw gives you a visual reference telling you if you are holding your saw correctly.

• In just a couple days of practice you will be able to remove the trainer and make those critical cuts from "muscle memory".

•  Made from strong “Delrin”, its light weight and won’t throw off  your sawing.

• It adjusts quickly and easily for sawing “plumb”, 1:6 angle (9.5 degrees) left and 1:6 angle (9.5 degrees) right.

• Fits any saw with up to a 1/4 inch thick back and holds in place with a non-marring nylon set screw.

• Has highly visible green oil filled vial for a stable bubble.

• Works left or right handed.
