This is Michiganmike again. I think I need to be more specific. The 1/16" gap I mentioned is on the side of the joint, not the depth. I went overkill and used a digital readout depth gauge and the depth of the cut is perfect. No gap there. The gap I mentioned is on the sides or shoulders (one gap per dovetail joint). Like a gap between two teeth. It is consistent for each individual dovetail joint. I double checked the depth of cut, as I said above, and also experimented with the offset of the two boards. That only offset the two boards, leaving one high on one side, and inset on the other, in relationship to the other board. Ever seen this? Any ideas how to correct it?

Thanks again,

Michiganmike
