Sorry, just saw this. Yes, the software has multiple ways of cutting the joints, but this setting does both tails and pins at the same time (you have to offset the 2 pieces to have them fit properly). After a little testing, I was able to figure out a process for cutting all 4 sides.
This is the first video of CNC dovetails I have seen that cuts both boards at once. This way seems even faster than single boards. How well did they fit together?
The joints were so strong and precise that I didn't even need to use glue (just 2 brad nails per side) My final setup (I was using for kitchen drawyers) used a larger dovetail bit with about 7 tails / pins per side.
Good idea! I might want to try that!
Cool! Was your machine originally designed with vertical mounting in mind?
Well done, I guess that cuts the half blind tails & pins at same time??

@@TroyProffitt Strong and fast joints. Thanks for the update and information.
How did you design the dovetail to use on your CNC? Thank you.
