Has anyone ever done inlayed dovetails using the Craftsman Dovetail jig? If so how did you do it? I was wondering if it could be done with an oversize dovetail bit for the first pass, scab in some wood into the dovetails and then trim it off and do another set of dovetails using a smaller bit thus ending up with the inlayed look. This sounds credible but with the jig I don't see how it is possible since you have to use a certain guide bushing and certain bit to make the dovetails in the first place. If you have any experience with this please let me know - I would be very appreciative. I am really trying to convince myself that the D4 is just out of my reach right now but it ain't lookin' good!!!!
Thanks in advance for any responses. Mike.
