Paranoia much? The colonial guy sure has you doing loops. I am watching. Comical how he has set you up in your own noose. Comical in how you walked right into it. No, look at your bowel, Janice. My dear departed wife spent months in agony before passing away. All down to you with your crank posts on glutens. Whilst it took me time to find you, I do have you now. Nailed. I have little to do in the evenings now. Your legacy haunts you, now.

My handcut dovetails genrally have zero clearance... but they stay together.
Leaving room for glue is overrated. ;~)
John
It's an excuse for poor craftsmanship. :-)
Well of course it really comes down to opinion and individual preference in this instance. For my own needs and preferences, I stand by my statement of opinion that the Kerfmaker is an unnecessary, exorbitantly priced, and overrated tool. I'll stick with the old method, accurate, tried and true in my experience, and described in the past on the rec, of cutting any old piece of scrap as a guide. YMMV and your opinion may be different. That's what makes the world and usenet go round.
It's so much quicker to have firm opinions on tools you've never used. And cheaper.

Even if it's really good glue? Even if Festool made glue and had a Festool Psycron glue dispenser with metric gap filling settings?
R
You don't need glue with Festool saws. They leave behind a hook and loop surface that bonds, instantly, when the joint is put together.
Indeed it is, I must admit when I first saw the B&D adjustable wrench with a battery powered motor to do the adjusting, I reached a similar opinion even more quickly. On the other hand, I really like my old Delta cast iron tenoning jig, and there are plenty here on the rec that will tell me I'm a fool for having one. :)
I hear the new L-N glue will allow the various pieces of wood to grow together seamlessly.
John
That called a graft joint.
The glue reactivates the DNA so it grows until there is 25 lbs / sq inch of pressure.
Who woulda thought...
John
Just add water?
Bill
No, it has to the natural byproduct of Shiner Beer, applied naturally ...
Wanna sell it? I have a more modern Delta tenoning jig and it's great (WHO says a tenoning jig isn't as useful as a pocket on a shirt?) but if you have the one I think you do then I'm jealous.
Lew will insist on Gougeon Bros Single Malt with micro balloons.
I recall a similar recent conversation about the Grr-Ripper.
Did somebody mention Shiner? Hot dang, I'm off to the fridge... :-)
We probably have the same one, mine isn't _that_ old. It's a 34-183. About the same as the current 34-184:
----------------------------------- Good for many things; however, this application requires "Little Greenies" that have received primary processing and are ready for direct application.
Lew
Yes, we do. Mine is also the 34-183. I've use mine a LOT, and it's a very useful tool.
doubt our modern versions have more features and are probably more useful, but I'd still like to have one of those old jobbies if I could find one.
