Introducing MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp AP by MICROJIG, the newest and most expansive clamp to the MATCHFIT system. The MATCHFIT system already set the woodworking world on fire with it's patented dovetail clamp track process. With the included MatchFit 14° by 1/2" dovetail router bit, you can route your own clamp tracks and get the hold-down pressure where and when you need it. The clamp arm matches this same profile and smoothly slides into the dovetail groove where it's out of the way of your operation and cutters. The New AP builds upon this system by giving you an 8.5" clamping capacity for your larger projects. It also comes with the dynamic X-Pad accessory, which offers you 2-in-1 hold-down and inline clamping pressure. The X-Pad works with your downward pressure and torque to apply inline pressure without lifting the material off the flat work surface like traditional inline clamps. Inline and hold-down pressure is essential when doing glue-ups and assembly projects. The AP introduces Anti-Pivot Technology, which keeps the clamp up and in a fixed position when changing out material during repeat assembly projects. The AP prevents the clamp from unintentionally dropping-down and getting in the way of your workflow. You'll enjoy faster and frustration-free clamping all over your shop. MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp AP gives your limitless possibilities for building jigs like never before and eliminating expensive T-Track. Dovetail tracks are powerful and much more versatile for setting up hold-down clamps. Upgrade and optimize your shop with dovetail clamp tracks and get more creative control with the latest innovation from MICROJIG. The MatchFit Dovetail router bit is specifically designed for the match fit Dovetail clamps and dovetail hardware. Its unique design uses the same standard 14-degree, ½” profile, but with rounded corners. It routes incredibly clean Dovetail grooves and requires less sanding, making the match fit system faster and easier than ever before. Down Shear - the 8-degree down Shear utilizes the bit's rotation to evacuate chips and dust, reducing friction, and heat, resulting in cleaner cuts. Bottom round over - the bottom of the dovetail Groove Bears the majority of the clamping pressure. The 1/32” round over strengthens that bottom corner by removing less material. This is especially important when routing grooves in plywood, as it minimized the the possibility of plies Separating. Top round over - the 1/16” round over at the top of the dovetail Groove has several functions. Firstly, it prevents tear out and fuzz, significantly reducing the amount of sanding needed. It also provides a range of tolerance. The bit can be set to a depth anywhere between . 365” and . 385”, and still be fully compatible with the match fit line of products. Within that range, The width of the Groove opening at the top will remain the same, but with varying round over exposure. The shallower the Groove, the smaller the round over. The deeper The Groove, the more pronounced the round over will be. Laser cut ⅜” depth guide - the depth guide line is exactly ⅜” from the end of the carbide cutter. With the depth guide line even with the surface of the material, The bit will cut a . 375” deep groove, which is in the middle of its range of tolerance. Wide base - the wide base reduces vibration and noise while routing grooves, resulting in smoother, cleaner cuts. Router collet safety line - the router collet safety line shows how deep into the collet the bit should be. The shank of the bit was designed to be as long as possible, while still fitting into any Major manufacturers' router. This provides more surface area for the collet to grip, reducing vibration for a smoother cut, and minimizing the Risk of the bit loosening and ejecting from the router.
