Lot of money to cut one or two dovetails. You can do it by hand if you're careful. http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/f...708/hl/cutting+dovetails/fromsearch/1/#572708

Guess I'm old and tired, so I use my milling machine. Start with 1/4 in. square bottom end mill and finish with dovetail cutter and a tiny little file.

Why do you use the end mill before the dovetail cutter?

 

[armedandsafe]

End mills are better for hogging out material, don't dull as readily and are easier to sharpen and/or cheaper to replace than dove tail cutters.

That is my experience. I am NOT a machinist.
