Description
The Hoffmann X-18 is an entry-level, manually operated dovetail routing machine designed for woodworking professionals seeking precision and reliability. Engineered for routing a single dovetail keyway in each cycle, this lightweight, portable machine offers simplicity and efficiency for smaller-scale production. With the capability to handle Dovetail Key sizes W-0, W-1, W-2, and W-3, it is an excellent choice for a variety of applications, though it is limited by its 2-1/4″ routing height, which makes it unsuitable for joining larger frames such as floater frames and shadow box moulding.
