Leigh Dovetail Jig with Wood Rat router bits

[custard]

Is it possible to use the ultra fine Wood Rat router bits (the HSS ones that give a "handcut needlepin" look) on a DR4 Pro Leigh Dovetail jig?

Just in case someone searches this in the future.

I've dug around a bit more and the answer is MAYBE!

Wood Rat offer ultra fine dovetail bits with both 8 degree and 9 degree slopes. I can see how the 8 degree ones might be used with Leigh jigs, but I can't see how the 9 degree ones could be used. And that's for through dovetails, I'm still unclear what the situation is on half-blind dovetails.
