MATCHFIT Dovetail Router Bit (1/2"-14°)
DIY TRACKS. SAVE TIME AND MONEY
Specially designed to route tracks for MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps and Dovetail Hardware. The Dovetail Bit's built-in roundovers cut clean dovetail grooves in a single pass. Less time sanding, more time building. Available in 1/2", 1/4", 12mm, and 8mm shank sizes.
The MATCHFIT System was designed around a standard ½”, 14-degree dovetail profile because it is one of the most common dovetail router bits on the market. Despite its benefits, readily available dovetail bits presented a challenge - they cut to a sharp tapered point. Even a sharp dovetail bit would inevitably leave fibers at the top of the track, requiring additional sanding. We improved on the profile by adding a roundover, cutting impeccable tracks with no additional sanding needed.
How it works.
One dovetail bit. One pass.
- Router collet safety line prevents bit from bottoming out in the router.
- Laser etched depth guide allows you to dial in cutting depth in a snap.
- The built-in 1/16” roundover smooths out the top shoulders of the groove to prevent material from binding.
- The built-in 1/32” roundover strengthens the groove walls and helps clamps and hardware move more smoothly.
Route T-tracks virtually anywhere.
- ½” 14-degree dovetail profileLaser etched depth guide to quickly set cutting depth.
- Laser etched depth guide to quickly set cutting depth. Depth tolerance: .365-.395”

What people are saying.
Got questions?
Do I need the MATCHFIT Dovetail Router Bit in order to use Dovetail Clamps and Dovetail Hardware?
Only if you value your time. Standard dovetail router bits cut to a sharp point at the top of the groove, which requires a decent amount of sanding after the track is routed. Our router bit incorporates a 1/16” roundover to automatically smooth out the top of the track in a single pass. Less time sanding means more time building.
Why dovetail tracks as opposed to T-slot?
When tightening anything inside of a t-slot, the pressure is applied perpendicular to the material surface, which may weaken the integrity of the track. If a t-slot is cut into plywood, all of the force is concentrated on the small flange at the bottom, causing the plywood to delaminate. With a dovetail profile, the clamping force is distributed evenly along the entire wall of the track for an overall stronger hold.
