I'm looking at making a fall front desk (hand tools). The desk board is held to the case sides by 20" long tapered sliding dovetails. I've been experimenting on scrap and have found chopping and routing the tapered rabbet (socket) to be very tedious. I see that ECE makes a "sliding dovetail saw" (also called a stair saw ). Using this saw to saw along the rabbet layout lines would reduce the work enormously. Has anyone used this technique? Should I invest in one of theses saws? Are they any good (sharp)?
