    Just need the 7/16" bearing cutter.

    Second question, mine instruction are same, but I can't remember whether I read that,or did it that way,probably did, but I done it same way as in earlier video for years.

    SIP instruction below.

    It's important to correctly set up the combe plate too far back or forward affects your dovetails.
    You should able to cut blind or through dovetails with the jig,& even sliding dovetails.

    In your post 9 you said that yours uses the same 1/2" comb and that you use the 7/16" cutter?
    So should i buy a 7/16" cutter or the 1/2" cutter?

    That I do, got one on the desk in front of me, a SIP 1/4" x 7/16" bearing cutter,I say it's bearing is 12.7mm, haven't got my micrometer to hand to check, but it's darn close,but Trend list the one you & me link to as suitable.

    And this is the Axminster cutter for the dovetail jig.

    http://www.axminster.co.uk/axcaliber-cutter-for-axcaliber-dovetail-jigs-13-19mm-material-666039

    Will be a very slight variation in the dovetail, but not a problem, as the guide follows the combe guides.

    Kiab need your help,
    You said you have the Sip jig?
    Could you measure the centre holes for the 1/2" Comb template screws?
    I've sourced a spare template Comb but it says it's for sip.
    The company I found don't stock it neither is it on the website as its being discontinued as there are only 2.
    I can't get any info on it other than, it's for the sip dovetail jig.
    They are probably all the same centre holes through the range but I would rather get the measurements to be sure before getting it.
    I can then measure up your measurements to my lumberjack jig.
    When I bought it, one of the fingers was broken, so i wouldn't be able to put a length each side.
    Cheers.

    Cheers Kiab
    That's how I bought it, it was new, only ever used once by this guy's dad and was stored in a garage.
    I only paid £7 for it.
    I can get a new template for £17.
    So £24 for a new dovetail jig.
