Dovetail Joints are a traditional slide mechanism that can be used for joinery also, especially in woodworking. It is a classical slide mechanism for milling machines, and a lot of metal cutting machines, that have moving parts that need to bear a lot of loads and moving in a very precise way. It's a way of creating a very precise mechanical movement.
In this video, I'm going to cut a dovetail, female on one side and male in the other. We're going to make a couple of these so that they fit together.
