Repeat the previous steps, rotating the router plate
to cut both sides of each remaining pin (the right-hand
side cut of the final full pin is shown at right)

Finally, turn the power feed crank handle to the
final setting (3 3/4”). Because this is the outside partial
pin, only make the initial cut that defines the left side
of the pin (plate against the front half of the right wing,
back half of the left wing). When you complete this
cut, remove the stock and cartwheel it end for end so
the same face remains against the sliding bar. With the
stock firmly clamped in place, reposition the sliding bar
back to the first cursor or DRO setting (1/4”) and repeat
all the cutting steps.

When you have the pins cut on both ends of the
front piece, cut the pins in the 1/2” thick back piece.
You can can cut these pins the same as you did for the
through dovetails — there’s no need for stopped cuts to
hide the joinery.
