MicroJIG MATCHFIT 1/2" Shank Dovetail Router Bit

If you make your jigs and fixtures, you've probably dealt with T-Track. T-Track is great, but it's not always immediately available, it isn't cheap, and it doesn't always suit the situation (just run into it with an expensive router bit if you need proof). Enter MicroJIG's MATCHFIT dovetail-slot jig, fixture, and clamping system. MATCHFIT is comprised of various hardware and specialized clamps designed to slide into a 14°, 1/2" dovetail slot making any surface a clamping surface. Any 14°, 1/2" dovetail bit can be used with the hardware and clamps, but the dovetail slot created by their specialized bit is as strong as t-track and is more stable and easier to cut than slots created by t-slot bits. With the MATCHFIT system, pretty much any jig, clamping apparatus, or sled can be created on the fly. Specialized MATCHFIT Dovetail Bit (MJG-213) — ideally suited to rout clamping slots. Standard 14°, 1/2" dovetail bits will work, but this bit leaves a 1/32" round-over relief at the bottom of the slot to strengthen the walls of the slot and allow the clamps and hardware to slide more smoothly. It also creates a 1/16" relief at the top of the slot to prevent tearout and the sort of binding that could compromise the structural integrity of the groove. The MGJ-213 Dovetail bit also has markings that show you exactly where to position the bit for the perfect depth of cut.
