Default HarborFreight dovetail macnine - how to mount?

I went to the site posted by David Merril below. [ TKX David ] I read the pdf manual.
It looked fair enough for the price of $29.99 plus the S&H even though it does not do
through dovetails. I do not want to mount the machine on my new workbench. I wish to
mount it somehow onto a jig so I can clamp the jig into one of my WB vises or clamp
the jig to the top of my WB. I was thinking of mounting the machine to a longish
board or a suitable size 3/4 ply panel and clamp that board or panel to my WB. I will
appreciate any mounting suggestions from others.

I cut through dovetails with mine. You have to make your own template(s)
but that is not too difficult. Would post some pictures if anyone is
interested.

Hi John. I have no problem - yet.

I am just trying to avoid a potential problem before I screw up - again and thought I
would ask this learned group.

Earl, I would love to see some pictures of the through dovetail template. Even a
rough hand-drawn measured drawing will help me out. You can zap me one at the above
address. It is correct.
