    I would be interested if and when you finish, as I have never used one before.

    A good place to start is what degree of dovetail bit do you have. 7,9, 14,etc. are popular. Then figure out what size bushing you'll be using in your router. These calculations then can be transfered to designer. Check out this link for making your own dovetail Jigs. www.stots.com very helpfull. I made one a few years ago.
