Dovetail gadget for vertical holding

Post by woodskills »

HI,

I have not used any of the dovetail gadgets but the first one I looked at was for cutting dovetails flat on the table which creates some issues due to bit diameters. Since I built a vertical holding area for my table is there a specific dovetail gadget that supports regular dovetail bits. Normally, I will do a clearing pass with a downcut bit to lessen the strain on the dovetail bit. I have laid them out in VCarve manually but a gadget could do it in more efficient manner. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
