Tork Craft Finger Plate / Dovetail — 7/16″ Model FUDT300-1
This high-precision finger (or dovetail) plate is designed for use with dovetail routing systems to accurately guide sliding dovetail joints, knock-down fixtures, or adjusting router fences. The 7/16″ width and robust construction make it suitable for woodworkers seeking tight, repeatable dovetail alignment.
Features
- 7/16″ dovetail width — standard size for many router dovetail systems
- Precision machined from stable metal alloy — resists deformation under use
- Flat, polished bearing surfaces — ensures smooth sliding on matching dovetail grooves
- Model FUDT300-1, stock quantity typically 2 units as per listing
- Packed weight: 0.36 kg; pack dimensions: 70 × 442 × 442 mm; UPC: 6009515813253
Benefits
- Accurate alignment: ensures dovetail mating parts seat precisely, reducing play or looseness
- Durability: metal construction resists wear, maintaining precision surfaces over time
- Ease of use: slips smoothly in matching dovetail channels with minimal binding
Extra Information
- Ensure matching dovetail router bits or templates are precisely calibrated to 7/16″ for best fit
- Keep surfaces clean and free of dust or chips to prevent scoring or binding
- Periodically lubricate dovetail contact surfaces with light wax or dry film lubricant
Pro Tip
- When seating the finger plate into dovetail grooves, use a small mallet and even tapping along its length to avoid tilting or misalignment
- Use matched male/female dovetail bits with the same geometry to maintain tight fits and easy sliding motion
