I'm wanting to build some drawers using 3/4 stock with 9mm thick plywood bottoms (storing heavy stuff). Looking to use half blind dovetails and was thinking of getting the PC dovetail jig like the 4200 series model. Wasn't sure if the dovetail dimensions would allow for a 9mm thick bottom without the groove showing through the joint. This would be using their standard 4211 template. TIA.

What I do is rabbet my bottoms to a 1/4" then place my groove so it won't show.

That's a good suggestion. I'll layout and see if that works. Thanks!
