If one didn't have a router table, that would be a solution...

but...

I accomplish the same thing, very easily, on a router table.

I have a project posted... something like "Wall Shelf w/ Sliding Dovetails" where the DT bit is in the table just after I made a few cuts with it...

Really very simple... use scrap to get fence adjusted just right... then let'er CUT!

That was an interesting method of producing Dovetails with a portable router.
With a litle more thought sliding covetails can be made, again only with a portable router with the aid of the template guides

I just did sliding dovetails inside a dado so the seam looks neater. I was near the practical limit of using the table router with the boards on-end. I must say, that is much cooler than the typical edge guide! I like that wheel I take to be a cam to grab the other side of the board?

How true is the saying "necessity is the mother of invention" That was one neat solution to a man's problem.
Tom, I know what you're sliding dovetails were for, but you're post doesn't make it clear, how about a shot of the finished article, which I believe has been duplicated by several of you're students.

Hi Harry

"finished article" I know at one time Tom posted a picture(s) of a 4 leg corner TABLE that one of his students made but I checked his gallery and it's not listed.

Maybe Mark can tell us why.

Add on ,, I think I know why now,, Tom had to registry again and the data base didn't get updated with Tom's new pass word...and old gallery..

Maybe Mark can fix that....

One more ADD on FOUND IT

That is/was the case, it's still on the forum but not the way it should be.
