I can maybe justify a Carvewright - if I can avoid buying a Leigh, Akeda, or similar jig.
My search came up with one post saying Dovetails can't be done.
I understand why we can't use a Dovetail bit.
But why not use either a BCT125 Cutting Bit (Or maybe the BCR006 Carving bit) to hog-out edge patterns corresponding to pins and tails?
The pattern - it would seem - could have tails/pins that are randomly
sized - and randomly spaced..
As an alternate to hogging, might 'cut path' work for dovetails and boxjoints?
One cut following the Pins/Tails layout - break off the waste at the tabs... or willl the waste pieces not have tabs - separate - and jam?
What am I missing?
Thanks for your help.
