Hi Guys.
My head hurts just trying to work this out.
But how about doing it the old faction way. and still use the legacy.
What I am thinking is, angle your board (as Mike Suggested.)
cut your dove tails like you would doing regular mortises/flutes.
then transpier the dovetails into your mating
Roger,
I had to take another look at your sketch. I see what you're doing now. I think
you're right on as this is the way to go.
So I'm clear, I would rip a series of spacers all the same size and line them
up on 2 pieces of wood (the spacing between them being the width of my piece)
at a 45 d
Andy, think of it as building a large dovetail jig, like Leigh, only the
fingers where the guide bushing rides are a lot longer, if you cut the
spacers all the same size you end up with equally spaced tails On the wood,
just make it long enough that you can cut all of them without moving the
jig, I

I was originally planning on rotating the stock to 45 degrees and then use

Agree, stock needs to be angled not the cut.

Instead of a angled travel for the router as with the old rotating
carriage, how about making an angled table? All you would need to do is:
Set a table and fence at 45ยบ
Lock everything in place.
Mark your indexed spaces on the table, you will need to mark both sides
of the cut

I'm building my twin screw face vise for my bench and wanted to add something

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 ve
What is the purpose of such a design? Is it just to show off capabilities or
is there a practical use?

I have a lot of thoughts but it comes down to one question. How tight do you
want the fit to be? Would a really loose sliding fit work? Can you get away
with a .010 gap or a little more on the dovetails? More details later tonight.
