Good advice from everyone about the various dovetail jigs. Here is my take on your situation: You are building kitchen cabinets, not furniture. You can save a lot of time and money by simply buying a drawer lock router bit. In a matter of minutes you will be turning our strong joints, much easier to learn than the quirks of any dovetail jig. This creates a strong joint and with todays glues it should last for many years. These bits are available from many sources such as MLCS, Rockler, or Woodcraft. Another option is to go with a box joint jig. The Router Workshop jig produces perfect joints on your first try. It has the added advantage of being used to make boxes, even wooden hinges and dovetails in 3/8" material.(This is not recommended for kitchen drawers)
