Successful Joinery Starts with the Right Tools

One of the most common and durable joints in woodworking, a dovetail joint is formed by one or more tapered tenons on one piece that interlock with corresponding notches or mortises on another. And here's the trick: it's all about making an accurate cut. At Rockler we have everything you need to do it right.

Check out our wide selection of dovetail jigs and joinery systems, each one great for making perfectly tight and solid joints. We also carry a full line of accessories, such as our dovetail jig stands which raises your jig to a more comfortable height, and a huge selection of dovetail templates and bits for creating exactly the joint you need.

We carry a wide selection of jigs and cauls designed for making the closely related “box joint.”  If you’re using a router to cut the parts, choose our router table box joint jig; it’s great for making precise, tight fitting box joints. Our finger joint templates are terrific for creating beautiful and strong finger joints, a joinery standard for end-to-end glue-ups.

For the ultimate in speed and accuracy, try one of our precision positioning jigs; it’s a terrific choice for producing joinery in precisely repeated patterns. If you’re interested taking up the venerated mortise and tenon joint, try one of our frame mortise and tenon jigs. The jig’s plunge router will allow you to quickly cut strong and perfectly fitting mortise and tenon joints with ease.

No matter what style of woodworking joint you are cutting, Rockler has the perfect tool for the job. Our top-notch selection, expert advice, and excellent customer service make us America’s number one choice for precision tools and a whole lot more.
