What you may not get is the Incra and JoinTech router
table precision fences that can do dovetails and a lot of other stuff.
There's also the Wood Rat. Prepare to be bewildered with choices.....


A vote for JoinTech. In addition to doing through and have blind
dovetails of various sizes and with variable widths as well, along
with finger/box joints, you get a fence that is precisely
positionable
WITH replaceble zero clearance fence inserts that minimize or
eliminate parts being pulled into the bit opening at the start and
end of the cut. Also comes in handy for making sliding dovetail
joints, raised panels, molding etc.

You're going to end up with a router table eventually. Why not
kill two birds with one stone now? Strongly recomend you look
into JoinTech - the Cabinet Maker System specifically.

Or - cut them by hand. Here's some instructions of one of the
many ways to hand cut them.
