Last night I had time to cut one half blind dovetail on my new Incra Ultra Lite. I appreciate the comments I received on that.

Tonight I tried it again. My main complaint this time is that the joint doesn't fit snug. I think this can be cured by raising the bit a little.

Overall, the joint is cleaner looking with more uniform gaps.

Last night, when I cut the tails, I only used my hand instead of a clamp. Using the clamp makes a big difference.

Any comments welcome.

Or highten to tighten and lower to loosen. Once glued Steve it should be just fine, you don't want to hammer the parts together.
