lcs Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have ordered a zigracker and are wondering if any of you guys know the size and angle on the dovetail cut? The measurements are included with the racker.....I understand there is a machine part 9lack of better term) that can make the dovetail cut a touch smaller. Overall it makes the racker fit tighter. Ask the person doing the cut. Mine wiggled a touch. It would not fall out, but I just wanted it to fit perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Larry - the cutter specified with the racker makes the cut VERY tight. So much that the instructions tell you how to widen the dovetail ever so slightly (0.005" increments, I believe). I can't imagine using a cutter smaller than called for to begin with.

Not to pick nits, but the increments for widening the dovetail are .0005". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be he upgraded the instructions or I don't understand machine language. Probably the latter. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I really liked it. I sold the MatchMaster it was on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
