4. General Machine Description
The Hoffmann Dovetail Routing Machine model X-10 is designed solely to process material for the Hoffmann Dovetail
Joining System.
This machine is to be used only to process material for Hoffmann Dovetail Keys, size W-1, W-2 and W-3.
USE OF THIS MACHINE FOR ANY OTHER OPERATION IS DANGEROUS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable if the machine is used for any operations other than outlined in this manual.
The Hoffmann Dovetail Routing Machine model X-10 is designed to rout dovetail shaped keyways in hard and
softwoods as well as wood related sheet goods, such as particleboard, MDF, plywood, MDO, etc.
The machine is limited to routing keyways in 45 degree mitered parts only.
Parts with other angles or square or butt-joints cannot be processed.
4.1 Operation:
1. The moulding is placed against the left and right hand side of the center guide, with the back side of the
material against the center guide and the miter tip resting against the front edge guide.
2. Adjustable toggle clamps are set and the moulding is clamped against the center guide.
3. The operator turns on the machine and holds the moulding tightly against the center fence with one hand. The
motor is moved laterally with the other hand until the pre-set stops have been reached, it is then returned to
the center position.
4. The motor is switched off, the clamps are released and the moulding removed from the machine.
WARNING:
Keep hands clear of router bit at all times. Bits have sharp edges and will cut even if the motor is turned off.
Touching a spinning router bit can case severe hand injury!!!
Always turn the motor off when removing material and when adjusting the machine.
Never rout into material not clamped securely to the center guide.
5. Potential Risks and Dangers
Even when the machine is used as designed, and when the aforementioned safety rules are adhered to, the potential
risk of injury must always be considered.
It is especially important to be aware of the following:
The risk of pinching between stationary and moveable parts of the machine.
The risk of pinching on the clamping devices of the machine.
The risk of injury from sharp edges when handling, adjusting or changing the tooling.
The risk of injury due to the inhalation of wood dust when operating the machine.
The potential risk of injury on the electrical parts of the machine.
6. Toolkit

8. Machine Installation
8.1 Unpacking – Inspection
Upon receipt, check the machine and shipping container for any damage. Report any transportation damage to the
delivering carrier and indicate it on the bill of lading. Request an immediate inspection for assessment of damage.
Claim should then be entered with the carrier. The carrier is solely responsible for any loss or damage during transit.
8.2 Placement
After unpacking, select a suitable location with enough room around the machine for safe and unobstructed workflow,
cleaning and maintenance.
It is best to place the machine on a sturdy workbench of comfortable height.
8.3 Cleaning
Clean the machine and remove the applied rust preventive coating with a cotton rag and thin oil (WD-40 or similar). Be
careful when using liquids containing silicones – the finishing process of your material could later be impaired.
Never use thinner or solvents to clean machine, damage could result.
8.4 Electric Connection
The machine power cord is equipped with a standard 115 Volt plug. Be sure the receptacle is in good working
condition. Also, be sure the power cord does not obstruct any walkways. If applicable, use only three wire extension
cords of the proper size. Replace damaged or worn power cords immediately.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR A DAMAGED POWER CORD.

9.1 Machine Operation - Standard 45-degree miters with two keys per joint
Following the steps outlined above, the first keyway position is routed on all parts.
The motor carriage is then re-adjusted for the second keyway by loosening the locking lever and moving the motor
carriage up or down to the desired position.
The second keyway is then routed as outline above.
If profiled moulding is used, it may be necessary to adjust the lateral routing strokes to use longer or shorter Dovetail
Keys in the second keyway locations.
Always use the longest Dovetail Keys possible for best results, e.g. 5/8” Keys are the right choice for 3/4" thick stock.

10. Change of router bit
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE,
MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR WORK!
1. Verify that electrical power has been disconnected.
2. Loosen the socket head cap screw on the side of the motor bracket and carefully remove motor.
3. Use the included metric wrenches (14mm, 17mm) to open the ¼” collet and remove the old router bit.
4. Install new bit and tighten collet securely.
Distance between tip of router bit and top of collet (not collet nut) should be:
For W-1 router bit: 15.5 mm = 0.610”
For W-2 router bit: 17.0 mm = 0.669”
For W-3 router bit: 19.0 mm = 0.749”
5. Slide the motor back into the bracket and hand-tighten the socket head cap screw.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten this screw as damage to motor bearings may occur.
Tighten screw only enough to keep motor from twisting!
6. Make a test cut and verify proper settings by inserting a Hoffmann key.
Loosen this screw to remove motor.
Always unplug power cord when performing any service work.
Always remove motor from motor carriage to change router bits.

11.2 Fine Adjustment
The operator can adjust the tightness of an assembled joint as well as the clamping force exerted by the key.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE,
MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR WORK!
1. Verify that electrical power has been disconnected.
2. Loosen the socket head cap screw in the motor bracket.
3. Carefully slide the motor further toward the bracket to increase the routing depth, or move the motor out of the
bracket to decrease the routing depth.
4. Only a small movement (0.1 – 0.5mm = 0.004 – 0.020”) is necessary to make a noticeable difference.
Increasing the depth will increase the “draw” or pull of the Key, resulting in a tighter joint.
5. Tighten the socket head cap screw – “hand tighten” only.
6. Re-connect the electrical power supply and make a test cut. If the new setting is unsatisfactory, the above
steps are repeated.
Wrong Setting Correct Setting
11.3 Factory Settings
Measured from the face of the miter to the bottom of the keyway = dimension X
W-1 3.5mm = 0.1378”
W-2 5.1mm = 0.2001”
W-3 6.8mm = 0.2677”

12. Maintenance
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE,
MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR WORK!
