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,
