Customer Reviews

One of the most difficult tasks in hand cutting dovetails is accurately transferring the tails and precisely sawing the pins. Rob's improved method of transferring tails to the pin board by offsetting the tailboard by the thickness of the saw kerf takes all the guess work out of where to saw.

Offsetting by the exact thickness can be challenging, but the Shawn Shim helps improve your offset accuracy. The brainchild of one of our Purple Heart Project alumni, we named the shim in honor of him.

Precisely milled to work with our regular dovetail saw, which requires a kerf thickness of .024 inches. The regular Shawn Shim has four different offsets to allow you to tighten or loosen the fit of the dovetails as needed.

CNC milled from solid brass.

3/4 inch x 3/4 inch wide. 1-1/2 inches tall.

Four offset sides: .023, .024, .025, .026 of an inch thickness.

Offset amount engraved on each end of the shim.

Weight: 100 grams

Made in Canada.

Shawn Shim

The Shawn shim really does make cutting dovetails easier. If that’s your thing the Cosman marking knife with the Cosman Shawn shim system is the thing. I like the new packaging too.

Ingenious device

Who will think about something new for this old joint? This is an excellent tool especially for people like me that are learning this technique. This makes it very simple cutting the pins. Good job, you always have something that makes complicated tasks easy. I was watching last night the device that helps to keep the right angle while sharpening the plane blade. That will be my next purchase. Thank you for being there for us
