I've had a couple hours of shop time so far with my dovetail jig. I'm not having a lot of success so far. In fact, I'd say it's the most finicky tool I've ever used! So, who's got some tips for me?
TIA,

- Setting the clamp-down tension seems tricky. Too much pressure and the template bows. Too little and the wood moves. Has anyone glued sandpaper to the clamp mechanism? Any other ideas?
- Maybe it's the lighing in my shop, but the only way to get a good view of the cutting action is to stoop down and view it from below. This results in a massive face full of wood chips. How do you do it?
- It's really hard to keep my fixed-base router flat on the template. It seems to want to rock as I move it through. How do you keep this from happening?
TIA,
JR
