FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MICROJIG Introduces the MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp
Inventive new product allows woodworkers to clamp virtually anywhere
Winter Springs, FL -- MICROJIG Inc., creators of the GRR-RIPPER® 3D Pushblock, today announced the launch of their
latest breakthrough woodworking product, the MATCHFIT™ Dovetail Clamp™, an innovative new woodworking tool that
allows users to quickly and easily attach fences, outfeed tables, cutting guides, and more with just a dovetail groove and
MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps.
Innovative Design
Designed in the U.S.A., MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps are manufactured with a forged head compatible with a ½ inch wide,
14-degree dovetail groove. The unique shape of the MATCHFIT Clamp head allows it to be securely inserted into a
dovetail slot and slide along the groove to the desired clamping position. Because the clamp head is enclosed within the
dovetail groove, MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps stays clear of work surfaces, blades and bits, letting woodworkers perform
shop operations smarter and safer. With a jaw depth of 2-3/8” (60mm) and a clamping range of 0” – 5-1/4” (130 mm),
MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps can grip any surface up to 5-1/4” thick with up to 595 lbs. of clamping pressure open at 4”.
Versatility
MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps utilize a revolutionary design for versatile clamping without operation interference. Users
create their own track grooves using any 14-degree ½” dovetail router bit, then slide the clamp head along the dovetail
groove to the desired clamping position. No aluminum T-track needed – users simply route a dovetail groove directly
into their fence, jig, fixture, etc., slide a Dovetail Clamp in the groove, and they are ready to clamp virtually anywhere!
Because MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps slide securely within the dovetail groove and stay out of the way during operation,
users can clamp virtually anywhere. This gives woodworkers the flexibility to mount fences and extensions horizontally
or vertically and without obstruction. They can quickly and easily attach taller fences, and extend infeed and outfeed
capacity on table saws, router tables and band saws.
Because the clamp arm seamlessly slides through the track without being limited by the arm like traditional clamps,
users can build a secure platform for their biggest projects and fence heights are no longer limited by the edge.
Engineered to work smarter, with the MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp system, jigs and fixtures can be mounted accurately
and efficiently in just seconds and removed just as simply. This time-saving innovation is great for building sacrificial
fences and taller table saw fences, ripping plywood, creating adjustable jigs and fixtures, clamping straight edges,
making work surface extensions, and more. Shop-made edge guides for routers and circular saws are also simplified;
woodworkers no longer need three hands because the MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp is captured and can’t fall off the edge
guide while setting up a cut.
2. The Dovetail Clamp system makes bench-mounting tools fast and easy. Anywhere woodworkers can use a fence,
extension, or guide, they can now add a clamp. Because MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps won’t get in the way, users can be
more productive and safe.
Ralph Bagnall, woodworking author and consultant, had this to say about the MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp: “The
MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp is an easy and uncomplicated method for clamping fences to your drill press table, your band
saw table or even your router table. With just a dovetail slot, I am able to mount jigs and fixtures quickly using
MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps, and because the clamps are out of the way, I work safer. This game-changing system is the
new must-have tool in my shop and I recommend it for any shop.”
