If you are a beginner, we recommend our sister site, Common Woodworking, which takes you through how to make a dovetail step by step:

In the woodworking and furniture sector LEUCO is the tool manufacturer offering the greatest variety of cutting materials for knives. This wide range of cutting materials guarantees the best solution for each application, regardless of whether you cut wet or fibrous soft woods, hard woods, wood-based panels or composite materials.

LEUCO provides world-class tooling solutions and expert support for machinery and processing of many materials. As the leading global manufacturer of precision tooling, we prefer innovation over imitation and provide complete value added tooling systems.

Early on, LEUCO recognized that not only were different grades important, but knife positioning and indexing features could be incorporated into the insert knife blank. Hence single point reference positioning and three-point reference positioning features were born. These features allow customers to change their knives with confidence unarguably getting benefits in higher levels of accuracy, repeatability, quality, and extended edge life.

It’s not really a good habit to gang up dovetails. In many cases ganging them up together can result in both dovetails being out of square or misaligned or both and thereby the two dovetails end up being different sizes. Also, the very practice we need when we begin dovetailing is denied by introducing something we never really do in practice.

We tend not to use the coping saw method for the majority of fine woodwork and furniture making, as it is not as precise and it takes quite a bit of practice to get as accurate as Paul is at it. There is also risk of tear-out. So for fine work we would use the method as seen in our making a dovetail video above. Paul might use a coping saw for rougher carpentry, but the cuts are consistently finer when done with the chisel.

“Turn it as you like! Leuco offers the widest range of tungsten carbide grades optimized for all applications” This is where it all began. Initially in 1954, LEUCO started producing carbide and quickly found its place being the world’s largest carbide producer to the industrial woodworking industry. To this day, some of the grades developed by LEUCO are still used in woodworking segment.
