The Dovetail Gadget is an attempt to do something on a flat table machine without an end attachment to produce dovetails. There are tables that can do very nice dovetails but the ChinaZone table is not one of them. I am told we are looking at a router for the new shop that does have end table mounting.

Look at the video of the person trying to do dovetails. He keeps telling you how beautifulor spectacular they are. Upon examination, the corners are not acceptable because of the drilling. The fit is awful, especially with the pre-finished cabinet ply that was used. This is a sorry example of making dovetails. Thr average CNC router table is great for many creative things, but not this. The shop has a Leigh Jig that is specifically designed for this task.
