Arcoy Dovetailer

From time to time, people ask about instructions for using these. While clearing out a cupboard, I found a fairly good photocopy of the original maker's instructions, and have scanned them as a .PDF file. If anyone wants a copy, PM me.

For anyone interested in the Arcoy brand, there's also this site run by John Luby which has variois hints and tips, etc

Dick, I am in Aberdeenshire and have an Acroy 2000 dovetailer jig - but no instructions. Can you help with copy?
Many thanks, and keep safe.

Heck, that's going back a while! I'll have to search in some very dusty corners of my office and hard disk; will start looking later.

Checking your postcode, you must be just about opposite the surgery in Pitmedden. I'm in Methlick, but for the sake of COVID, will email a .pdf if I can find it.

If there aren't any copyright issues, you can attach the PDF to a post in this thread.

Interesting point - my guess is that since Arcoy are long gone (aren't they?) copyright shouldn't be an issue. But if anyone knows better, please tell me.
Notice a couple of earlier requests for these instructions dating from a period when I wasn't checking this forum, so may not have responded to. IF these instructions turn up, and anyone didn't get a response from me, will try to sort it out.

Hi, Dick - from having been a newspaper reporter, I am pretty sure copyright would run out after 25 years even though I believe Stanley took over Arcoy.
By the way, I am indeed in Pitmedden but up past the tennis court and bowling green. My grandfather lived at Tanglandford just outside Methlick. It's a small world!!
