Dovetail Drawer Boxes
I am thinking about starting to cut dovetail drawer boxes on the CNC and I was wondering how many other machine owners are doing this and how it is working for them. Thanks, Jon Kenworthy.

Re: Dovetail Drawer Boxes
A lot of users are cutting dovetail drawer boxes, or at leat tried to at one point in time! The resolts differ from person to person. It all depend how much time are you willing to spend trying to tweek it. We only had problem with soild wood (maple) boxes. Otherwise it was good.

Wouldn't go back to cutting them any other way. Once you get your machine dialed in, no problems.

Re: Dovetail Drawer Boxes
Have cut several thousand, havent touched my settings in at least a yr.
Cant imagine doing them any other way again.....
In fact I think I would just shoot myself if I had to go back to a jig and router.
