A table saw isn’t the first tool you think of when it comes to cutting through dovetails. Okay, maybe it’s not a tool you think of using at all. So it might surprise you to learn that you can use your table saw to make perfect-fitting through dovetails. All you need is a simple shop-built jig and a saw blade ground to leave perfectly angled corners. Best of all, this technique results in through dovetails with that distinct, “hand-cut” look. The jig is similar to a crosscut sled but the fence is adjustable to allow for cutting both the pins and tails. Besides the jig, you’ll also need a special saw blade for your table saw.

Duginske described cutting dovetails on the table saw and a bandsaw in the Fine Woodworking"s book and videos MASTERING WOODWORKING MACHINES. THIS is plagiarized. 99 percent of Woodsmith is stolen from original author's like Duginske. This is overly complicated.
way way too much work,,,this is something that would never be used
And, without the specially ground blade, could easily do as a box joint jig.
I like the jig but won't be racing out to buy a specialty blade to make dovetails.
You can use a regular blade instead, it just doesn't quite reach into the corners of the sockets. You need to chisel out that small triangle of wood, the width of a saw kerf and less than1/32" high.
Just because it can be done isn't a good case to do it this way. I will stick to my router table. Seems this is way to much work and you still have to use a chisel. If I am using a hand tool I would enjoy the process of doing it all by hand....much more satisfying.
Overly cumbersome way of cutting dovetails. I'd guess it would be easier and faster to cut the dovetails by hand. I will stick with doing this work on my router table.
instead of bevelling the hardboard inserts, i would just cut them with square edges and hold them in place with 2-sided tape.
Nice concept, but wouldn't it be a lot easier and cheaper to just take a little time and learn to cut dovetails by hand. A handsaw, a marking gauge and a chisel. And satisfaction in doing it without a machine. Just one man's opinion. But still, a nice concept.
👍🏻
Nice jig. But I would rather use a router dovetail jig or a router table. Much easier and faster
