Sometime in the last year or two I saw an article in a woodworking magazine about building a table saw jig to cut dovetails. I have just gone through my collection of magazines and didn't see it. Don't know if I missed it or if I have put the magazine down somewhere and haven't found it yet.

Anyone remember what magazine and what issue?

Not a magazine, but there is one in Jim Stack's book, Building the Perfect Tool Chest.

Also, IIRC, Yeung Chan has one in his book, Classic Joints with Power Tools.

Stack's is similar to a crosscut sled, but the work ride at the front of the sled. The fences are angled, so as to make an arrow point, with angles being whatever you like....typically ~10 degrees.

It was from Fine Woodworking... It used a special grind on a Forrest WW II blade, but at least that should get you started :D
