Ok, you mention Joint, singular. If you are trying to correct an ill
fitting joint, forget it. You cannot recut a joint.

<snip of much good advice for brevity>

Just as aside in the event the OP missed it.

As you point out, the depth of cut in half-blind router jig cutting
determines the fit, and with the Leigh jig you really need to be using an
18
degree dovetail bit for half-blind joints when using 1/2" material for the
_fronts and/or backs_ of drawers.

... otherwise the fit will give you fits.


I'll keep that in mind. I have never used any other bit size other than the
one that I have always used for blind DT's. Because you do not want a blind
DT to become a through TD, :~) it makes sense to use a greater angle
shallower cutting bit for the blind DT's.
