Table Saw Dovetail Jig

Cut perfect through dovetails quickly and accurately with this Table Saw Dovetail Jig Woodworking Plan. Designed to bring traditional joinery within reach of any woodworker, this jig turns your standard table saw into a precision dovetail-cutting machine. Made from durable ¾" plywood, the jig features a pivoting fence that locks into place to set the correct angle for both tails and pins, allowing you to produce tight-fitting joints with ease. The built-in T-track accepts a stop block and spacers for consistent, repeatable cuts, while a front-mounted cross bar adds strength and stability to the base.

This plan is ideal for anyone looking to streamline their dovetail joinery process—whether you're building drawers, boxes, or fine furniture. It walks you through every step, from laying out the base and aligning it with your saw blade, to attaching the runner and dialing in the pivot angle for perfect results. The jig’s simple design makes it approachable for beginners while still offering the precision and reliability experienced woodworkers demand.

If you're looking to upgrade your workshop with a high-performance joinery jig that simplifies one of the most respected techniques in woodworking, this project delivers both function and craftsmanship. You'll not only save time, but also gain a reliable shop-made tool you'll turn to again and again.
