Actually, they are "half blind" dovetails

I used to use an Axminster White DTJ but was offered a lightly used Leigh D4R Pro with a VRS dust extraction attachment a few months ago. The Leigh jig is truly wonderful but takes a fair bit of learning and setting up - I now love it but have at times cursed it roundly
Not a cheap jig, but it does everything you could ever want. And then some...I only used the old jig a few times and was going to sell it on eBay -great condition and in original box - no reasonable offer refused if you want to give it a go...

To use a jig you need perfectly true timber - perfectly flat and perfectly square ended - otherwise you'll never get perfect fit...
