The MICROJIG MATCHFIT Relief Router Bit is an essential tool for woodworkers using the MATCHFIT system who want to achieve cleaner, more professional dovetail grooves. By removing 55% of the material before the primary dovetail cut, this bit significantly reduces heat and strain on your primary router bit, extending its life and improving overall cut quality. While this tool dramatically improves results, it is a specialized accessory that must be used in conjunction with a separate MATCHFIT Dovetail Router Bit to complete the groove process.

Ensure your router speed is correct and check that you are not moving the router too slowly through the material.
Ensure the 1/4-inch shank is not bottomed out in the collet and that the collet is tightened securely.
Check that the bit height is set correctly using the laser-etched guide and ensure the router base is flat against the workpiece.
The bit features a 1/4-inch shank, making it compatible with most standard trim routers and full-sized routers that accept 1/4-inch collets. Always ensure your router speed is set according to the bit's diameter specifications. To maintain the tool, clear any resin or sawdust buildup using a specialized bit cleaner after heavy use. Store the bit in its original packaging or a protective case to keep the carbide edges sharp and free from chips. Always verify that the bit is fully seated in the collet before starting the router.
