HI Andy Can you explain what you are trying to do? the picture is somewhat confusing. Are you using dovetails to join the wood on the edges like box making, or are you making them for angled groves like making a shutter?
I don't want to be a party Pooper here. but, The Legacy dose some things very well, and other things OK, just because you can do something on the Legacy dose not mean its the best way to do it. surface planning a board is a good example. Yes it can do a pretty good job, but for what its worth, using a plainer would be a better and faster choice,in most cases. I believe the sliding dovetails would work out better if done on a router table. but please don't let me stop you from trying. I would like to see how it turns out for YOU. ;-) I wish you Good Luck.

I've read that it can only be reasonably achieved using a CNC. However. I think if you somehow used a dovetail jig (i was thinking the portercable dovetail jig because that's what i have) to properly space the cuts and offset the 2 pieces so you cut both at the same time, it could be done. Anyone have any thoughts/recommendations? Anyone try something like this before? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
