Rob Cosman Shawn Shim Dovetail Offset Tool

Product Description

This is the larger of the two Shawn Shims that Rob offers. 

One of the most difficult tasks in hand cutting dovetails is accurately transferring the tails and precisely sawing the pins.  Rob's improved method of transferring tails to the pin board by offsetting the tailboard by the thickness of the saw kerf takes all the guess work out of where to saw.

Offsetting by the exact thickness can be challenging, but the Shawn Shim helps improve your offset accuracy.  

Precisely milled to work with our regular dovetail saw, which requires a kerf thickness of .024 inches. The regular Shawn Shim has four different offsets to allow you to tighten or loosen the fit of the dovetails as needed.  

• CNC milled from solid brass. 

• 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch wide.  1 1/2 inches tall.

• Four offset sides: .023, .024, .025, .026 of an inch thickness.

• Offset amount engraved on each end of the shim.

• Weight: 100 grams

• Made in Canada.
