Hi michiganmike
Here's a little trick you can try, pull out a 3/8" drill bit, move the dovetail bit up or down till the top of the router bit is the same height as the drill bit, use a block of wood for a quick jig to set the bit,,put the block of wood on the drill bit and on top of the bit then adjust the bit...to match the drill bit..
Once you try it out and it's just right make a setup block, so you have one the next time you want to use the dovetail jig......
To make a setup block you will need to put a 1/2" slot in 1st. (for the brass guide) then just slide the dovetail bit in the slot,,, then mark the block and save it..
Note **** don't remove the bit to make the setup block, if you don't have a router table just drill a hole or two on the edge of a scrap board..then slide the dovetail bit in..
