Interlocking joints such as box finger joints and dovetail joints are made in wood parts by a combination including a body for attachment to a tool table having a guide slot in the upper surface for guiding a work feeder. The combination includes a router tool and a vertically adjustable tool holder for holding and carrying the router tool with the router cutter axis parallel to the upper surface of the tool table attached to the body. The tool holder is formed substantially in the shape of a sector of a circle and is attached to the body by a pivotal attachment substantially at the center of the arc of the sector. The tool holder includes a circular arc shaped gear rack at the arcuate edge thereof, and a pinion gear is rotatably attached to the body and in engagement with the gear rack or vertical adjustment of the tool holder.
A woodworking tool combination for making interlocking joints in wood parts such as box finger joints and dovetail joints comprising a substantially rectangular body means for attachment to a tool table which includes at least one guide slot in the upper surface thereof for guiding a work feeding means, a work feeding means positioned and arranged for sliding engagement with said guide slot, a router tool, a vertically adjustable tool holder for holding and carrying said router tool with the router cutter axis parallel to said upper surface of said tool table attached to said body means, said body means being attached to a side edge of said tool table parallel to said guide slot, said tool holder being formed substantially in the shape of a sector of a circle and being attached to said body means by a pivotal attachment substantially at the center of the arc of said sector, said tool holder including a circular arc shaped gear rack at the circular arcuate edge thereof, a pinion gear rotatably attached to said body means and in engagement with said gear rack and including rotating means for vertical adjustment of said tool holder by rotation of said tool holder about said pivotal attachment by rotation of said pinion gear, and means for clamping said circular arcuate edge of said tool holder in a selected vertical position.
