It mounts onto the existing jig structure without modifications or additional tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a box joint and a dovetail joint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA box joint has rectangular fingers of uniform width — 8 mm in this case — that interlock alternately between the two pieces. A dovetail joint has a trapezoidal profile that resists pulling forces. The box joint is easier to make with a straight router bit and creates a joint with a large gluing surface, widely used for drawers and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich router bit is required to use the FD3080?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 8 mm box joint with the FD3080 template, the IGM M100-08081 HW downcut D8 x 25 mm router bit with 8 mm shank is required. The downcut geometry is necessary to obtain a clean top edge on the workpiece during routing. Using different bits does not guarantee joint precision. Contact Krollit at +39 0825-1494022 to check availability of the router bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I buy multiple optional templates for the same FD300 jig?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The IGM FD300 jig accepts several interchangeable optional templates: box joints in different sizes, small lapped dovetail and through dovetail. Each template requires its own bushing and the specific router bit indicated by the manufacturer. Contact Krollit for the complete catalogue of templates compatible with FD300 and FD600.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the included 11.1 mm bushing replace the FD300 jig bushing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 11.1 mm bushing included with the FD3080 replaces the 15.8 mm bushing supplied with the FD300 jig for making half-blind dovetails. Each optional template has its own dedicated bushing calibrated for the corresponding router bit — it is important to always use the bushing matched to the mounted template.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"igm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195859919176,"sku":"FD3080","price":72.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2139\/0920\/files\/Progettosenzatitolo_55.jpg?v=1779973809","url":"https:\/\/www.krollit.com\/products\/dima-da-8-mm-per-giunzioni-a-pettine","provider":"Krollit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
