    Default Dovetail joints

    Has anyone used the dovetail joints feature of ecabinets? Is that even possible with a shopbot?

    Haven't in a few years. When I was using it we found that the machine had to be dialed in with regard to the spoil board. Material thickness was also a big concern and you need to have a very consistent thickness for the joints to look good. A calibrated material with litle variation between sheets and within sheets gave best results. This was back when I was getting parts milled on a rigid Thermwood. Don't know how easy it would be to do on a SB. It would be interesting to hear how you made out if you try it.
    Outsourcing drawer boxes from a dependable supplier is what I do now.
