I bought a box of 30 - 1/2" x 3" dowel pins from [AFT Fasteners](https://www.aftfasteners.com/1-2-x-3-dowel-pins-alloy-steel-bright-finish-30-pkg/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwl4yyBhAgEiwADSEjeMZFMFC6wlSOe8L9hfowc8PfRTk0Ka2vUxdeL08ifOOD5Jwby-pedRoCgL4QAvD_BwE). I think I had a total of about $45.00 including shipping. I took 6 pins and cut them in half with my angle grinders and a 1/8" abrasive disk. I took 4 other pins and cut them into thirds. I now have: 12 - 1/2" x 1" pins 12 - 1/2" x 1.5" pins 20 - 1/2" x 3" pins I also drew up a simple cam clamp to use on the table. Let me know and I can post the Vectric file or a SVG of it. I hope this helps. Dirkus ---

Hi all, I bought the waste-board PDF from Etsy. The bill of materials calls out a 90 degree V-bit. I see the shank size. I do not see the required bit diameter. Can anyone advise please? I’m new, a link to a good bit would be appreciated. Thanks all. ---

You shouldn’t need a V bit for the wasteboard, you will however need a 14 degree dovetail bit. The shank size can be anything that fits in your router/spindle. ---

How odd it’s in the bill of materials. I have the MatchFit dovetail bit. The exact bit isn’t given in the PDF. I think this is it, can you confirm? Thanks. [https://a.co/d/4cTEhNO](https://a.co/d/4cTEhNO) ---

Hi Dustin, > [@Omaha](#): > > The bill of materials calls out a 90 degree V-bit It’s probably for chamfering the top of the slots. Zooming in on the slots in the video it looks like they are chamfered. Probably wouldn’t need to be a very big V-bit. May want to message the seller. ---

Ah, if ypu are using the matchfit dovetail bit, it does the chamfer all in one pass. You will need to do a 1/4 full depth pass with a straight bit first before doing the dovetail then the 90 degree if you are not using the matchfit. ---
