I recently bought these to retrofit to the front side of my bench.

When I built my bench I recessed T nuts and made the outside piece replaceable.

Dovetail bit installed and ready to route. This doesnt come with the clamps but they tell you that you need a 1/2" 14 degree dovetail bit.

I routed this very deeply and the result was a tight fit.

I had to do a little chisel work on the recessed bolt holds because I routed into them but I knew that going in.

A little past wax in the groove helped with the tightness.

This is going to be a huge benefit for clamping and sanding shelf edges.

I highly recommend these.

Next step is to make some sacrificial fences for the table saw.
