DOVETAILING TIPS:
To reduce the stress on your router and cutters, run the first pass with a straight cutter and then follow through with the dovetail cutter. Use a dovetail cutter on your router table equipped with a fence to achieve difficult chamfer angles.

Do not lift the router out of the template.
