I'll give it another try tomorrow.


One of the solutions I came up with to solve this problem for future
use...

Once you find that "sweet spot" on a particular dovetail bit / dovetail
jig combination, take a scrap piece of hardwood about 2" x 12" and run
it through a surface planer until the thickness precisely matches how
far the bit protrudes from the base of the router. I then drilled a
hole to hang it, put a coat of finish on it, and labeled it with a
marker so I wouldn't throw it out some day when I had a brain fart.

Keep a can of international orange paint around for these things. Label
with all the information you think you won't ever need next time, because,
odds-on, you will.
