4mm hex wrench (provi ded)
knife or wire cutter
flat head screwdriver

1. Remove the four screws and flat washers

holding the machine to the pallet with a
14mm wrench, as shown in Figur e 1.

2. Place lifti ng st r aps thr ough the two eyebolts

at the top of the m achine (Figure 2). Using
a forklift or hoist, lift the machine off the
pallet and into its desired location. The
Dovetail er should be located in a dry area
with sufficient lighting. Leave plenty of
space around the machine for operations
and routine maintenance work.

3. If desired, the Dovetailer can be further

stabilized by securing it to the floor, using
lag screws through the four holes at the
bottom of the cabinet.

4. A group of cords holds the headstock

secure to the machine frame to prevent it
from moving duri ng shipping. These cords
should now be cut and removed (see
Figure 3).

5. Exposed metal areas of the Dovetailer

(such as the table, template bar, cylinder
clamps, rods, etc.) have been factory
coated with a protectant. This should be
removed with a soft cloth dampened with
kerosene or mi neral spirits. Do not use an
abrasive pad. Do not let solvent contact
plastic or rubber parts as it may damage
them.

Dust Collection

The use of a du st collection system is strongly
recommended f or this machi ne. It will help k eep
your shop clean as well as mi nimize any healt h
risks caused by wood dust. Mak e sure your dust
collector has a capacity of at least 500 cubic feet
per minute (CFM).

Connect the intake hose of your dust c ollector to
the 4” diameter dust chute at the back of the
cabinet (Figure 5) .

NOTE: A variet y of dust coll ection systems are
available from Powermatic. Call customer
service at 1-800-274-6848 or visit our website
for mo re inform ation.

Grounding Instructions

Figure 5

Electrical connections must

be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.

This mac hine m ust be grounded. I n the event of
a malfuncti on or break down, groundi ng prov i des
a path of least r esistance f or electri c current to
reduce the ri sk of el ectri c shock .

Improper connection of the equipment­grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipment­grounding conduct or . If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conduc tor to a
live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool i s properly grounded. Us e only
three wire extensi on c or ds that have three-prong
grounding plugs and three- pole recept acles that
accept the tool ’s pl ug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specif ications on the m otor plate of
the Dovetailer .

10

230 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, the DT65
Dovetail er is designed to run on 230 volt power
only. You may either connect a UL/CSA listed
230V plug (similiar to the one shown in Figure 6)
or “hard-wire” the machine directly to a control
panel. If hard-wired to a panel, make sure a
disconnect is available for the operator. The
dovetailer must comply with all local and
national codes after being wired.

1. If it is to be hard- wired, m ak e sure the f uses

have been removed or the breakers have
been tripped in the circuit to which the
dovetailer will be connected. Place a
warning placard on t he fuse holder or circuit
breaker to prevent it being turned on while
the machine is being wired.

2. Refer to “Elec trical Connections” on page 36

for connecting the motor leads.

3. The Dovetail er with a 230 v olt plug should

only be connected to an outlet having the
same confi guration. No adapter is av ailable
or should be used with the 230 v olt plug.

Extens ion cords

If an extensi on c or d is necessary, make sure t he
cord rating i s suitable for the am perage listed on
the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating.

Use the chart in Fi gure 7 as a general guide in
choosing the c orrect size cord. If in doubt, use
the next heavi er gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

Air Connection

Connect the air supply hose to the coupli ng on
the air uni t (Figure 8). The air i s turned ON by
rotating the valve lever 90 degrees
counterclockwise (until it is parallel with the
hose), and turned OFF by rotating the valve
lever 90 degrees cl oc k wise.

Even after the air has been

turned off to the machine, there may be
residual air inside the lines, and the
clamping cyl ind ers can sti ll p rovid e a hazard
to fingers. After shutting off the air, always
bleed residual air from the system by
pushing the rel ief valve pin at the bottom of
the air cup, shown in Figure 8. Keep the
relief valve open until all air in the system
has been removed.

Adjustments

Disconnect machine from

power source, shut off air supply and bleed
residual air from system, before making
adjustments. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.

Clamping Cylinders

The workpieces are clamped to the table by
pneumatically operated aluminum cylinders (A,
Figure 9). Each cylinder has its own air on/off
lever. Sim ply turn the lever (B, Figure 9) t o “on”
position to act ivate the cylinder; the c ylinder will
respond immediat ely by clamping the workpiec e
against the table.

Always keep fingers out of

the way of clamping cylinders. Failure to
comply may cause seriou s injury.

Both vertical and horizontal clamping cylinders
can be adjusted t o match the thi ckness of your
workpieces. To change the thick ness capac ity of
the clamping cylinders, proceed as follows:

Figure 9

1. To increase the clamping capacity, loosen
the top two hex nuts (A and B, Figur e 10) on
the stud at the end of the holder bracket,
with a 30mm wrench. Do the same for the
stud at the opposite end of the holder
bracket.

2. Tighten the lower hex nut (C, Figure 10).
You can do thi s without a wrench. This will
raise the holder bracket. Do this
increment ally on both stud s unti l the desir ed
height is reached. When finished, tighten
top hex nuts (A & B, Figure 10) on both
studs with the wrench.

NOTE: Make equal adjustm ent on both stud s at
each end of the holder bracket to ensure the
clamps are parallel to the table. To check this,
measure from the bottom edge of the holder
bracket down to the t able. Measure at each end
of the holder bracket – the measurements
should be equal. Fi gure 10 s hows the h ori zont al
clamping assembly - the procedure is identical
for the vertical cl am ping assembly.

3. To decrease the clam pi ng capacit y, back off
the lower hex nut (C, Figure 10) and t ighten
the top hex nut (B, Figure 10). This will
lower the holder br ac k et.

Figure 10

4. When finished, ti ghten t he l ower hex nut (C)
against the holder bracket, and bring hex
nut (A) down against hex nut ( B).

Figure 11

12

The clamping cylinders can also be adjusted
laterally for better support of workpieces with
differing widths. Simply loosen the locking
handle (Figure 11) and slide the clamping
cylinder t o position. Re-tighten locking handle.

Clamping Pressure

The pressure exerted by the cylinder clamps
against the workpi ece c an be a dj usted at t he air
regulator, shown in Fi gure 12. The hardness or
softness of t he wood will determine the amount
of clamping pr essure desired. Enough pressure
should be used to prevent the workpiece from
slipping during operations. Forty (40) psi is
suitable for clamping most wood; going above
that is not recomm ended.

To change the clamping pressure, pull up on the
knob (A, Figure 12) and rotate it; clockwise to
increase pressure, counterclockwise to
decrease pressure. The attached needle
indicator ( B, Figure 12) shows the air pressure.
Lock the setti ng by pushing the knob (A, Figure

12) back down.

Figure 12

Locking Handles

All locking handles, such as those shown in
Figure 11, can be rotated out of the way if they
interfere with other machine parts. Simply lift
straight out on the locking handle and rotate it,
then release, maki ng sure it seats properly.

Template Bar

The four-sided template bar, shown in Figure
14, will allow you t o create “half-bli nd” dovetail s,
where the dovetail s are visible on only one side
of the joint. It will create dovetails in one of f our
different “pitches” or centerlines. The available
pitches are 1”, 1-1/2”, 2” and 2-1/2”. To change
the pitch of a dovetail c ut, pr oc eed as follows:

1. First notice how the notches on the

template bar are grouped toward the right
side of the machine. The template bar
should always be oriented in this fashion.

2. Release one end of the spring on the left

side of the head stock (Figure 13) and pul l
the headstock forward until the tracer pin
(Figure 14) i s clear of t he template bar.

3. Loosen and rem ove the loc king handles on

each end of the templ ate bar (Figure 15).

4. Pull out the template bar, flip it to the

desired side, then reinstall it. NOTE: The
pitch dimensi on is inscribed on each si de of
the template bar . The side of the tem plate
bar that you have chosen should face
downward when mounted on the machine.

5. Insert and ti ghten both locking handles.

Figure 13

Figure 14

13

6. Push the headstock back and re-connect

the spring (Figur e 13) .

You must now also shift the indication template
(Figure 16). S ee “Indic ation Template”.

Indication Template

Because the tracer pin is not easily observed
while the m achine is in operation, the indicati on
template (A, Figure 16) provides the operator
with a visual record of the progress of the
“hidden” tracer pin. The bracket (B, Figure 16)
slides in and out of the notc hes on the indi c ation
template, echoing the tracer pin as it slides in
and out of the notches on the template bar
below.

The pitch of the indication tem plate must match
the pitch of the template bar. Therefore, when
turning the template bar for a new pitch, you
must also change the i ndic ation template.

1. First notice how the notches on the
indication template are grouped toward the
right side of the machine. The indication
template should always be oriented in this
fashion.

Figure 15

2. Remove the socket head cap screw (C,
Figure 16) at each end of the indication
template, with a 5mm hex wrench.

3. The indication template that came installed
on your machine contains the 1” and 2”
pitch. The ot her indication template has the
1-1/2” and 2-1/2” pitch. Either flip the
indication template, or replace it with the
other one as needed, t o match the pitch of
the template bar.

4. Re-insert and tighten the socket head cap
screws (C, Figure 16) .

Fixed Chaser

The fixed c haser (Figur e 17) provi des a support
on which the workpieces rest. The spacing
between the “f ingers” of the fixed chaser all ows
clearance f or the c utt er .

The DT65 Dovetailer comes standard with three
fixed chasers at 2”, 2-1/ 2” and 3” pi tches. (P itch
is the distance between the centers of the
“fingers”; see Figur e 18) .

NOTE: If you wish to use the 1-1/2” or 2-1/2”
pitch on the t emplate bar, you m ust replace t he
fixed chaser on the machine with one of the
others provided. Figure 18 explains how the
available fixed chasers correspond to the pitch
of the template bar.

Figure 16

Figure 17

14

1. To replace the fixed chaser, remove the
three M6 socket head cap screws and flat
washers, using a 5mm hex wrench as
shown in Figure 17. Remove the fixed
chaser.

2. Instal l the new fix ed chaser and make sure
it is level with the main table.

3. Re-insert and tighten the socket head cap
screws against the fl at washers.

After mounting the fixed chaser, make sure it will
correspond to your c hosen pitch on the template
bar. With the machine power off, slide the
headstock across the l ength of the fixed c haser,
allowing the cutter to move in and out of the
spaces. If t here is any interference bet ween the
cutter and one of the “fingers” on the fixed
chaser, then try a different fixed chaser, or
change the pitch of the template bar.

Horizontal and Vertical Fences

The workpieces will lie flush against the f ences
during cutti ng to ensure squarene ss. Two buff er
pads made of polyethylene material are
mounted to the fences – these provide a
“chipbreaker” effect to prevent chip-out on the
left edges of t he workpieces. T hey ar e de signed
so the cutter can bite into them without any
damage to the cutter .

To adjust these fenc es, pr oc eed as follows:

1. Place your F RONT/BACK workpiece on the
horizontal t able and agai nst the fence/buff er
pad. Move t he headstock t o the lef t edge of
the workpiece, then slide it to the right,
allowing the tracer pin to slide just a little
into the templat e recesses, while observing
through the dust hood window t he progress
of the cutter. This will give you an idea
where the cuts will be made and how they
will be spaced across the width of the
workpiece.

Figure 18

2. For broad m ov em ent of the horizontal fence,
loosen both locking handles on the
horizontal fence (A and B, Figure 19) and
slide the horizontal fence into position.
Tighten bot h locking handl es (A & B, F igure

19).

3. There is also a micro adjustment on the
horizontal fence; loosen locking handle (A,
Figure 19), but leave locking handle (B)
tight. Loosen the screw (C, Figur e 19) with a
6mm hex wrench and rotate the knurled
knob (D, Figure 19) as needed for precise
positioning of the horizontal fence.

4. When finished, t ighten screw (C, Fi gure 19)
and locking handl e ( A, Figure 19).

Figure 19

15

NOTE: Make sure locking handles (A & B,
Figure 19) will not interfere with the headstock
during operation.

5. Conti nue t o check the spaci ng by slidi ng the
headstock acros s, until the dov etail cuts will
be distribut ed ev enly acr oss the width of t he
workpiece. NOTE: This is an approximate
method of determining by eye where to
place the workpi ece. A scale in inches and
millimeters is mounted to both horizontal
and vertical tables, if you need m or e precise
measurements for the location of the
dovetail cuts.

6. Again, mak e sure t he locking handles on the
horizontal fence (A & B, Figure 19) are
tightened. The position of the horizontal
fence will now be used as the basis for
locating the vertical fence.

7. Loosen the locking handle on the vertical
fence.

8. As noted, the position of the horizontal
fence will affect the position of the vertical
fence. Ther efore, if you are making a drawer
that has a bottom groove, the vertic al fence
should be set so that the bottom groov e in
the drawer piece to be tenoned will go
through the center of a tail. That means the
bottom groove of the mortised piece will go
through the center of a mortise. This will
prevent t he groov e from bei ng vi sible on t he
outside of the assembled drawer. See
Figures 20 and 21.

Important: To make proper dovetail cuts, the
two fences must always be offset from each
other by half the pitch of the template bar. That
is, off set 1/ 2” when using t he one- inc h tem plat e;
3/4” when using the 1-1/2 template; 1” when
using the two-inch template, and 1-1/4” when
using the 2-1/2 inch template. The measuring
scales on the h orizontal and verti cal tables are
marked in 1/16” incr em ents and millimeters.

Figure 20

Figure 21

9. Li ne up the v er tical f ence with t he hori zont al
fence, then offset the vertical fence by
exactly half the pitch of the template bar.
See Figure 22.

10. T his adjustm ent will cause the v ertical work
piece to be sli ghtly offset to t he right of the
horizontal piece (as viewed from front of
machine), thus ensuring the dovetails will
correspond when the two pieces are
assembled.

11. Tighten the locking handle on the vertical
fence.

Figure 22

(view from rear of machine)

16

There are a total of four fences on the DT65
Dovetailer – two vertical and two horizontal.
These allow tw o sets of workpiece s to be cut at
the same time. If this is desired, position the
other two fences in the sam e manner as the first
two fences, remembering again to offset the
vertical fence by half t he pitch.

Buffer Pads

The polyethylene buffer pads, shown in Figure
22, have slots through whic h they are secured to
the fences by scre ws. T hese buffer pads can be
re-positi oned if needed.

To adjust a buff er pad, loosen the t wo hex cap
screws (shown in Figure 22) with a 13mm
wrench. Sli de the buffer pad as necessary. Re­tighten bot h hex cap screws when finished.

Cutter Height

This adjustment will change the hei ght of t he tail
on the tenon (male) cut, and how deep the
mortise (female) cut goes into the thickness of
the workpiece.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Loosen the spindle lock screw (Figure 23)
by turning it counterclockwise with a 6mm
hex wrench.

3. Turn the spindle height adjustment screw
(Figure 23) with a 5.5mm hex wrench, eit her
clockwise to raise the cutter (increase the
cutter depth), or counterclockwise to lower
the cutter (decr ease the c utter depth).

4. Tighten spindle lock screw by turning it
clockwise.

Figure 23

Mortise Depth

This adjustm ent ensures that t he side pieces of
your drawer will remain flush with the front and
back pieces of the drawer. The correct fit will
have the sides f lush with the fr ont and back of
the drawer, wit hout showing any of the morti se
cut on the inside of the dr awer.

The mortise depth adjustment bolt, shown in
Figure 23, lim its how far for ward the headstock
will go, and thus limits the length of your mortise
cut.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Loosen the hex nut on the mortise depth
adjustment bolt (Figure 23) by turning the
hex nut counterclockwise with a 17mm
wrench.

17

3. To decrease the depth of the mortise
(female) cut, turn the bolt clockwise. To
increase the depth of the mortise cut, turn
the bolt counter cl oc k wise.

4. Re-tighten the hex nut.

Thickness of Tenon Cut

To adjust the t hickness of the t enon (male) cuts,
you will change the depth of the tracer pin (A,
Figure 24).

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Loosen the locki ng handle (B, Figure 24).

3. Insert a 5. 5mm hex wrench into the end of
the adjustment screw (C, Figure 24) and
turn the adjustment screw as needed. To
decrease the thic k nes s of the tenon cut, t ur n
the adjustment screw counterclockwise. To
increase the thi ckness of t he tenon cut, tur n
the adjustment screw cl oc k wise.

4. Tighten loc ki ng handle (B, Figure 24).

Tightness of Mortise/Tenon Fit

A proper dovetail fit should be snug with no
gaps showing, but not ov erly tight as gl ue must
later fill the joints. If the cuts seem correct, but
the joint is simply too tight, or the joint is too
loose, proceed as f ollows.

Figure 24

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Remove the dust hood f rom the front of the
headstock. Release one end of the spring
on the headstock (see Figure 13) and pull
the headstock away f rom the machine until
the cutter becomes more accessible.

3. You will notice the cutter, shown in Figure
25, is slight ly off c enter of the spindle. The
spindle is eccent ric and allows the cutter t o
be turned to a different position on the
spindle.

T he cutter is very sh arp! Use

caution when working with or around it.

4. Loosen both set screws on the spindle
(Figure 25) by turning them counter­clockwise with a 4mm hex wrench.

5. A scal e i s locat ed just above the cut ter , wit h
a plus (+) and minus (-) sign. Moving the
cutting edge of the cutter toward the plus (+)
side of the scale wil l i ncrease the si ze of the
mortise cut and decrease the size of the
tenon cut. Moving the cutting edge of the
cutter toward the minus (-) side will
decrease the size of the mortise cut and
increase the size of the tenon cut.

Figure 25

18

NOTE: One notch of the scale equals 1mm.

6. With your fi nger s on the shank porti on of the
cutter, carefully rotate the cutter toward the
plus (+) or minus (-) position as needed.

7. When satisfied with the adjustment, tighten
both set screws fi rmly.

8. Re-at tach the spring on the headstock, and
re-install the dust hood.

Drive Belt Tension

The tight ness of the belt that drives the spi ndle
has been adjusted at the factory. Further
adjustment may be nec essary af t er the m achi ne
receives some use, as the belt may stretch
slightly duri ng the “breaking in” process.

Belt tensi on can be adjusted by a socket head
cap screw at t he rear of the headstoc k (Figure

26) which slides the mot or toward or away from

the spindle. To tighten the belt, rotate this cap
screw clockwise with a 6mm hex wrench. To
loosen the belt, rotate the cap screw
counterclockwise. The belt should be just tight
enough to prevent it slipping on the spindle
during operation.

Replacing cutter

Figure 26

T he cutter is very sharp ; use

caution when working with or around cutter.
Disconnect machine from power source!
Failure to compl y may cause seri ou s injury.

1. To replace the cutter, loosen both set
screws (Figur e 25) and carefully pull up on
the cutter until it is free from the spindle.

2. Slide the new cutter down into the spindle,
and align the cutting edge with your
previous setti ng on the spindle scale.

3. Tighten both set screws.

Oil Output

Oil is distributed through the air lines for
constant lubrication of the clamping system. The
oil output can be adjusted by rotating the oil
regulator knob (A, Figure 27). Turn the knob
counterclockwise to increase oil output,
clockwise to decr ease oi l output.

The level of oil should be checked occasional ly
and re-filled as necessary. A minimum level is
marked on the window of the oil cup ( C, Figure

27). Refill by removing the screw (B, Figur e 27)

and pouring oil into the fill hole. When fi nished,
re-install screw (B, Figure 27). Use standard air
tool oil. This is available from your local
distributor, or can be found in most hardware
and tool stores.

Figure 27

Operation

NOTE: The following are basic dovetailing
procedures as they apply to this machine, and
are not intended to be a full course of instruction
in making dovetails.

Refer back to the terminology on page 7 if
needed.

The Dovetailer can be used to make joints in
drawers, boxes, cabinets, etc. Instruc tions in this
manual are based upon making a drawer
consisting of FRONT and BACK pieces, and two
SIDE pieces. FRONT and BACK pieces are
placed horizontally on top the machine’s table;
SIDE pieces are plac ed v ertic ally.

No matter the project, prevent mistakes by
laying out the pieces beforehand according to
how they will be assembled. Place them with the
inside f acing up, and l abel the m ati ng edges, as
shown in Figure 28.

Before cutting on what is to be the finished
piece, the operator should make test cuts on
scrap wood to make sure all settings and
adjustments are correct.

Figure 28

IMPORTANT: Make sure the workpiece has
been cut square before making dovetails. An
out-of-square workpiece will result in poor
do vetail joints.

1. Check that all the following have been set
correctly ( S ee “Adjustments” above):

• proper pitc h of Template Bar

• proper Indication Template

• Vertical and Horizontal Fence positions

(offset from each other by half the pitch
of the template bar)

• height of Clamping Cylinders for

workpiece thi c k ness

• proper Fixed Chaser, with no cutter

interference

• height of Cutter

2. Mov e the headstock all the way to the right
and out of the way.

3. Connect the air supply and the electrical
power to the machine.

Keep fingers clear of

clamping cylinders.

4. Place the drawer RIGHT SIDE against the
vertical table and on top the fixed chaser.
The RIGHT SIDE should be flush against
the fence, with the bottom groove facing
outward and opposite t he fence (Figure 29).

Figure 29

20

5. Activat e the clamping c ylinder in f ront of the
RIGHT SIDE workpiece.

6. Place the drawer BACK on the horizontal
table, and against the horizont al fence. Slide
it flush agai nst the RIGHT SIDE workpiece.
The bottom groove on the BACK should
face downward and oppo sit e the f enc e. See
Figure 30.

7. Activate the clamping cylinder above the
BACK workpiece.

8. The BACK is now butting against the RIGHT
SIDE so they are flush, with the RIGHT
SIDE overlapping the edge of the BACK.
Both workpieces should be firmly and
evenly against the fences.

9. Turn on the machine at the switch, and slide
the headstock to the left edge of the
workpiece. Mov e t he cutter i n sequence, l ef t
to right, allowing the tracer pin to move in
and out of the template slots. See Figur e 31.
You can watch the progress of the cutter
through the window of the dust hood.
NOTE: Do not r ush the cut; allow the cutting
unit to do the work.

Figure 30

10. When finished, slide the headstock out of
the way and unclamp the workpieces by
turning the clamping cylinder levers to “off” .

11. F it the BACK and RIGHT SIDE together and
examine the joint. If the joint is not
satisfactory, make any needed corrections
to your settings as explained under
“Adjustments.” If the joint is satisfactory,
proceed with the next cut as follows.

12. Insert t he LEFT SIDE piece and cl amp it in
vertical position and against the fence.
(NOTE: The bottom groove on the LEFT
SIDE will face outward and toward the
fence.)

13. Turn t he BACK 180 degrees and cl amp it in
the horizontal position against the fence.
(NOTE: The bottom groove on the BACK
workpiece will still be fac e down, but toward
the fence.)

14. Make the cut, then continue the dovet ailing
procedure with the FRONT piece, making
cuts “C” and “D” (Figure 28) until all four
joints of the dr awer have been cut.

Figure 31

TIP: When using drawer side widths that are not
“whole inch” sizes, you may wish to gauge off
the top of the drawer rather than the bottom
when placing workpi eces in the machine. Doi ng
this will improve the look of the drawer by
providing a f ull t enon near the top of the drawer
and the half-tenon will end up at the bottom. See
Figure 32.

Figure 32

21

Preventing Chip Out

As noted previously, when the SIDE and
FRONT/BACK pieces are inserted into the
machine, they are offset a bit so they’ll match
correctly when assembled. In other words, the
SIDE will rest slightly to the right of the
FRONT/BACK in the machine. This leaves the
right edge of the SIDE exposed without the
“chipbreaker” effect that the FRONT/BACK
provides for the rest of the SIDE (see Figure

33). Thi s may result in an unsatisfact ory cut at

the edge of the SIDE.
This problem is resolv ed sim ply by t aking a t wo-

inch-plus wide “back-up” board, of the same
thickness as the workpiece, and clamping it
horizontall y next to the FRO NT/BACK piece, so
that it backs up t he exposed edge of the SIDE,
as shown in Figur e 33. You can use this piece
over and over again.

Dovetails in Plywood

Because plywood handles a bit differently than
solid stock, her e ar e some ti ps to follow:

1. When usi ng plywood, the lay ers tend to be
more fr agile. T herefore, t he operat or should
keep the movement of the cutting unit
consistent and proceed relatively slowly.

Figure 33

(view from rear of machine)

2. On t he rounded arcs of the tenon cuts, you
may lose a bit of t he top layer . This is to be
expected wit h plywood, and does not affect
either the look or the strength of the
assembled dovetail joint. Rather, the
strength of the dovetailed corner comes
from the flat side of the tenons.

3. Plywood has a tendency to chip out on
exposed edges. A back-up board may be
necessary (see Figure 33) .

22

Maintenance

Keep clean the travel rods upon which the
headstock slides.

Before doing maintenance on

the machine, disco nnect it f rom the electri cal
supply and the air supply, and release any
residual ai r from the lines. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury.

If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it repl ac ed immediately.

The horizontal and vertical tables and other
exposed metal parts should be kept clean and
free of rust. A coat of paste wax will help protect
the tables fr om tar nishi ng.

After each day ’s use, brush or blow out dust and
debris from t he cutter, table, motor, etc.

Keep the clamping cylinders clean to prevent
debris adhering to them, which can scar
workpieces.

Lubrication

The linear bushings by which the headstock
travels on the rods are pre-lubricated and
sealed; they do not r equir e additional lubrication.

The spindle bearing should be lubricated as
needed, accordi ng to machine usage. Apply VG­120 grease through the grease nipple on the
spindle (#10 i n the exploded v iew on page 32).

Occasionally check the oil level in the oil
regulator cup (see Figure 27). Add more oil as
needed. Use standard air tool oil.

23

Troubleshooting the DT65 Dovetailer

Trouble Probable Cause Remedy

Machine will not
start/restart or
repeatedly trips
circuit breaker s or
blo ws fuses.

Machine not plugged in. Verify machine is connected to power
Fuse blown, or cir c uit

breaker tripped.
Cord damaged. Replace cord.

Overload automatic reset
has not reset.

Dovetailer frequently trips.

Building circuit breaker trips
or fuse blows.

Loose electri c al
connections.

Motor starter failure.

Motor failure.

Miswiring of the unit.

Replace fuse, or r eset ci r c uit breaker.

If the dovetailer overloads on the circuit breaker
built in to the motor starter, it takes time for the
machine to cool down befor e r estar t. Allow unit to
adequately cool before attempting restart . If
problem persists, c hec k am p setting on the motor
starter insi de the electrical box.

Check the amp setting on the overload relay.
Match the full l oad am ps on the motor as noted on
the motor plat e. If am p setting is correct then there
is probably a loose elec trical lead or a failed
component. See below.

Verify that dovetailer is on a circuit of correct siz e.
If circuit siz e is corr ect, there is probably a loose
electric al lead. Check amp setting on motor starter.

Go through all of the electrical connections on the
dovetailer including motor connections, verifying
the tightness of eac h. Look for any signs of
electric al ar ci ng whic h is a sure i ndicator of loose
connection or ci rcuit ov erl oad.

If you have access to a voltmeter, you can
separate a starter failure from a motor failure by
first, verifying incoming voltage at 220+/-20 and
second, checking the voltage between starter and
motor at 220+/- 20. If incoming voltage is incorrect,
you have a power supply problem. If voltage
between starter and motor is incorrect, you hav e a
starter probl em . If v oltage between starter and
motor is correct , you hav e a motor problem.

If electri c mot or i s suspect, y ou have two options:
Have a qualifi ed elect ri c ian test the motor for
function or rem ov e the motor and take it a qualified
electric motor repai r shop and have it tested.

Check to make certain all electrical connections
are correct and pr operl y tight. The electrical
connections other than the motor are
preassembled and tested at the factory. Theref or e,
the motor connections should be checked as the
highest probability for error. If problem s persist ,
double check t he factory wiring.

On/off switch failure.

If the on/off switch is suspect, you have two
options: Hav e a qualified electrician test the switch
for functi on, or pur c hase a new on/off swit c h and
establish if t hat was the problem on changeout.
