4. General Machine Description
The Hoffmann Dovetail Routing Machine model X-18 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-0, 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-18 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 material is placed on the machine table and the proper location is established with either a
steel fence plate for miter joints, or with square stops for butt joints.
Pulling the hand lever downward lowers the hold-down pad onto the workpiece. Further
downward pulling raises the router motor and the router bit up into the material. A height
adjustment rod is used to set the routing height. When the pre-set height is reached, the hand
lever is lowly returned to its resting position and the workpiece is removed.
WARNING:
The machine is equipped with an automatic ON/OFF feature, pulling the lever starts the router
motor immediately and releasing the lever to its home position stops the motor.

9. Machine Operation
9.1 Standard 45-degree miters with one key per joint
The machine is equipped with a routing height tape scale attached to the routing height
adjustment rod. The scale indicates the height the router bit will travel into the material.
To adjust the height, simply loosen the top locking lever and move the bar to the desired height.
Always use the longest key possible to achieve a tight joint on the face side of the workpiece.
The lower locking lever is used to lock the router carriage for transport and to keep the router bit
in a raised position when changing the router bit (see “Changing the router bit”).
(Hoffmann X-20 model shown)
With the routing height and the keyway position set, place the material on the table and pull the hand lever
downward to clamp the material and to raise the router bit.
Pull the handle in a slow and consistent motion.
The motor is switched on automatically and the router bit cuts the keyway. When the pre-set routing height
is reached, return the handle to its home position and remove the workpiece.
Before routing the material make sure the orange handle securing the steel fence plate on the table is
properly tightened, and do not change the setting until booth parts are routed.

9.2 Step-by-Step Instructions for standard 45-degree miter joints (shown on MU-3D model)
1. Select proper Dovetail Keys for the material being joined
by always using the longest Keys possible.
For example, for 1/2” thick material use 3/8” long Keys, for
3/4” thick material use 5/8” long Keys, for 1” thick material
use 7/8” long Keys, etc.
If correct Key size is not available, it is better to stack
multiple Keys than to use a single, short Key.
2. Set the routing height by adjusting the height adjustment
bar to the desired setting.
TIP: Hold a Dovetail Key against the bar for quick setting.
3. Select the key locations along the mitered end,
depending on the material being joining.
For profiled moulding, try to place Keys in thicker portions
for best results.
Generally, moulding over 1 1/4” (32mm) wide should be
joined with two Dovetail Keys for added strength.
4. Place workpiece on table and adjust Center Fence Plate
by moving it in or out until desired keyway location is set.
Use the Center Line Locator and/or digital display is so
equipped.
5. Lock the Center Fence Plate in place with the locking
lever and place workpiece tightly against fence plate while
pushing mitered end against back fence.
6. Slowly and consistently pull main handle down to press
workpiece on table. Continued pulling will raise router motor
up until preset height is reached.
7. Return main handle to lower motor to its home position
and remove workpiece
Note: Motor will switch on and off automatically.

9.3 Compound Miter Joints
Moulding joined with a compound miter is machined almost like a standard, flat moulding. To achieve a
tight and correctly aligned joint, the mitered face must be placed tight against the machine back fence and
the moulding edge must rest against the black steel fence plate.
The machine is set for the first Key location and routing height. After all moulding parts are processed the
set-up is changed for the second Key location and routing height.
(Hoffmann X-20 model shown)
Note: Depending on moulding width, use two or more Keys for tight joints.
Use of good quality glue is important.
For best results, use a shop-made jig to hold moulding steady while routing (jig can be mounted to
recessed aluminum fence rail).
Place first Key close to inside corner and second Key close to outside corner - choose thick moulding
sections and use longest Key possible.

10. Change of router bit
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE,
MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR WORK!
Follow proper “Lock-Out / Tag-Out” procedures as specified by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration “OSHA”.
1. Verify that electrical power has been disconnected.
2. Tighten the upper locking lever and loosen the lower locking lever on the back of the machine.
3. Pull the main lever to raise the carriage until the router bit is approx. 1/4” above the machine table.
4. Tighten the lower locking lever to lock router carriage.
5. Remove the old chip breaker from the table recess and discard.
6. Loosen the hex head screw on the underside of the motor bracket and carefully slide the motor out.
7. Use the included metric wrenches (14mm, 17mm) to open the ¼” collet and remove the old router bit.
8. Install new bit and tighten collet securely.
Distance between tip of router bit and top of collet 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”
9. Slide the motor back into the bracket and use the square stop to set the proper distance. The stop has
three steps in one side (W1, W2, W3) and one large step machined in the opposite for W4 router bits
(W-4 bits can only be used on MU-3 and larger machines, not on the X-18).
Slide the square stop out of the fence rail and remove the locking lever, washer and square nut. Place
the stop upside down on the table to use.
Use the smallest step for W-1, the middle step for W-2 and the deepest step for W-3.
10. Lower the carriage to its home position.
11. Make a test cut and verify proper settings by inserting a Hoffmann key.
12. Raise the carriage again and install a new chip breaker insert. Place a piece of scrap wood over the
insert and slowly lower the running router bit down through the wood. The scrap wood eliminates
tearout on the surface of the chip breaker.
Hold the scrap wood securely in place and be aware of the turning bit at all times. Lower the router
carriage slowly.

11.2 Router Bit 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!
Follow proper “Lock-Out / Tag-Out” procedures as specified by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration “OSHA”.
1. Verify that electrical power has been disconnected.
1. Raise the motor carriage as described before.
2. Loosen the hex head screw in the motor collet.
3. Carefully move the motor further toward the operator to increase the routing depth, or
move the motor away from the operator to decrease the routing depth. Do not try to adjust
the bit in the collet –always move the router motor for fine adjustments!
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 hex cap screw and lower the carriage.
6. Re-connect the electrical power supply and make a test cut. If the new setting is
unsatisfactory, the above steps are repeated.
To re-set the machine to the factory setting, use the included aluminum set-up jig.

11.2. Router Bit Fine Adjustment - continued
Hoffmann Dovetail Keys are designed to create permanent and reliable joints in a wide range of
wood products.
For optimum strength and reliability, it is important to adjust the router bits properly.
X
The medium or factory settings for the router bit
projection (measurement “X”) are:
Size W0 2.3 mm 0.0906”
Size W1 3.5 mm 0.1378”
Size W2 5.1 mm 0.2008”
Size W3 6.9 mm 0.2717”
Size W4 12.1 mm 0.4764”
These are the minimum setting at which the Keys will still create a tight joint.
If the material allows, a deeper setting will increase the “draw” or “pull” of the Key.
Incorrect:
If the router bit projection is set too shallow, the Key is not able to pull
the miter faces together. An open joint is the result.
Incorrect:
If the router bit projection is set too far, the Key and/or the material
can split resulting in damage to the material.
Final router bit adjustments are always made by moving
the router motor in or out as needed.
A small movement will make a noticeable difference!
We recommend the use of our Digital Multi Gauge
(W20001300) for precise adjustments.
