Description Reviews Q&A

If you make your jigs and fixtures, you've probably dealt with T-Track. T-Track is great, but it's not always immediately available, it isn't cheap, and it doesn't always suit the situation (just run into it with an expensive router bit if you need proof). Enter MicroJIG's MATCHFIT dovetail-slot jig, fixture, and clamping system. MATCHFIT is comprised of various hardware and specialized clamps designed to slide into a 14°, 1/2" dovetail slot making any surface a clamping surface. Any 14°, 1/2" dovetail bit can be used with the hardware and clamps, but the dovetail slot created by their specialized bit is as strong as t-track and is more stable and easier to cut than slots created by t-slot bits. With the MATCHFIT system, pretty much any jig, clamping apparatus, or sled can be created on the fly.

Why use a dovetail slot instead of T-track?

T-track is not always available, it is not cheap, and hitting it with a router bit is costly. A routed dovetail slot is as strong as T-track while being more stable and easier to cut than T-slot bit slots.

What shank size is the included dovetail bit?

The included 1/2" 14° dovetail router bit has a 1/2" shank. Browse more clamping tools to expand the system.

Can I use a different dovetail bit with the hardware?

Yes. Any 14°, 1/2" dovetail bit can be used with the MATCHFIT clamps and hardware, though the included specialized bit cuts a particularly strong, stable slot.

What can I build with the MATCHFIT system?

Pretty much any jig, clamping apparatus, or sled can be created on the fly. It is designed to make every inch of your shop a usable clamping surface.

Who makes the MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamp Pro?

It is made by MicroJIG, the company behind the MATCHFIT dovetail-slot jig, fixture, and clamping system.

How many clamps are in the Pro kit?

The Pro kit includes two Standard Dovetail Clamps plus a hardware variety pack to expand your jig-building options.

Is the dovetail slot strong enough for real work?

Yes. The slot cut by the specialized bit is as strong as T-track and more stable, so it holds securely in shop-built jigs and fixtures.

Does this work with bar clamps and vises too?

It complements your existing workholding. Pair it with bar clamps for glue-ups and bench vises for general workholding. The included setup gauge helps you dial in the clamps so they seat correctly in the dovetail slot.
