Actually, you are proposing to do it the other way around. A router and

Thanks. I'll give that another thought then. Where did you get your
jig from? I thought dovetail jigs cost more than the routers!


The posh ones do, but a basic one can be had for £40 or so.

If you want cheap easy joins, then have a look at something like a
pocket hole jig...

A bit corny, but you get the idea:

Or biscuit jointing is also very cheap once you have the machine:
