Woodworking Machinery – Dovetailing Machines
A dovetail joint is one of the strongest joints used in woodworking. Used for components such as drawers and boxes, where maximum strength is required. There are many variations of dovetail joint, dependent upon application and type of wood.

The two-axis automatic mill cutter with numerical control, OMEC 650-A, is designed to indent dovetails and parallel indents for drawers and several furniture elements. Model 650-A is equipped with a spindle and a mill cutter that allow the production of indents of different heights. The machine is designed to cut single male or female workpieces, or both simultaneously. Pieces can be clamped and released in manual mode by means of pneumatic valves. The 650-A model is controlled by a CNC system that is programmed to manufacture two types of fixed pitch joints (25mm and 50mm). Product Brochure -
The biggest model of manual milling machines manufactured by OMEC It is a full manual machine composed of a milling head that uses a pin to copy a template with four different joint pitches: 25-40-50-80mm. The joint pitch, i.e. the male size, can be changed manually by loosening the two fastening screws of the template and rotating until the desired size reading appears on the lower side. Workpieces are locked manually by means of pneumatic cylinders controlled by lever-operated valves that are fitted onto the machine base. Product Brochure -
This model is equipped with a spindle unit and a milling cutter that can be used to manufacture joints of different heights. The "750CN" machine can process male pieces and female pieces both separately and in a combined mode. Pieces are locked and unlocked manually by means of specially designed pneumatic valves. Eight pneumatic cylinders guarantee the locking operation safely. The CNC system is designed to offer the maximum machining versatility and allows users to vary the pitch, number and depth of joints, as well as cutting speed, tool feed and tool diameter variation (this feature is used to adjust with a simple operation the coupling of male-to-female joints and to sharpen tools several times before replacing it).
