This would be very informative to all. Guys: This concept is about the idea of using cheap tools to create different custom router set ups. With this set up you leave these tools set up in the custom operation. My example: Is the half blind dovetail joint and a photo would be me cutting the joint. What this post is about is the fact that you can create one, two or more custom set ups with the cheap tools. Another example: Maybe you want to set up the just the 1/4" round over bit with the custom set up in my plywood table mounted router...

Why does the router need to be a plunge? Wouldn't a fixed router work just as well, since it will only be used for this purpose? Jack Rick's comments: The fixed router for the half-blind dovetail will work fine...we are talking about getting the cheapest router with the cheapest dovetail bit. Rick Rick,

Could you provide more details and perhaps some pictures or diagrams? Thanks, Keith Rick's comments: Really this is a concept is about using and leveraging the cheap router that you purchase from places like let's say Harbor Freight. Not sure we need photos of the cheap router that is set up to cut half blind dovetails. This is about the idea of setting up a router process with specific tools. The price of the low end router is so reasonable and feasible, which makes this concept even something we can be talking about. thanks, Rick I am really interested in this topic.
