Lee Lumber Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 A few weeks ago I thought I had found the Holy Grail the DeWalt 6212 Dovetail Jig. I purchased it second hand however it was in excellent condition and looked brand new, I thought I had a real bargain. The Dilemma though upon reading the user guide was the fact that the four router cutter/bits supposed to be in the set were missing. I contacted the person who sold me the item who said he did not have them, I contacted DeWalt and to my surprise they told me they did not make the bits and that I should contact Trend. Trend stated that they did not make the size bits and that I should contact DeWalt. I further contacted DeWalt and many emails later they have still not come up with any solutions to supply, locate or recommend what I should do. They could not even give me the full measurements of the cutters. All I have from the user guide is that the bits should be 8mm shanks not 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch and the following sizes. * Dovetail cutter 13.5mm (17/32), cutting angle 7 degrees * Straight Cutter 8.73mm (11/32) * Dovetail Cutter 7.14mm (9/32), Cutting angle 7 degrees * Straight Cutter 9.75mm (5/16) Dear readers I am after some advice. Does anyone know of the bits I require, there full measurements including cutter depth, overall bit length and where I can purchase them from? Otherwise I have a perfectly good jig just sitting on a shelf with no means of using it. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Also check Woodcraft out. They can point you out to 8mm shank buts and Festool makes them for their compact and full size routers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Check out bits for the Porter Cable 4212. Same company and I think they are the same jig so possibly same setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
