I recently wrote an Excel spreadsheet to calculate dovetails, when using a standard jig (DeWalt, Axminster, Dakota etc).

By inputting the jig slot spacing and width, and the cutter diameter and angle it calculates the depth of cut.

If anyone want to try it, it is at:

WOW! thanks for that Niki. I wish I had seen the roof calculator before I started the gazeebo job it might have saved me some time.
