OK if Dovetails cut by Hand is Darkside mystery and Router and Jig is how it is done in the real world.

What do we call CNC Router Cut Dovetails.

This was only a proof of concept so I used MDF.

The pictures are pretty self explanitory. I had to backup the cut edges to stop tearout.

ummm.
There have been multi spindle dovetailers around for many years used by commercial manufacturers. some of them can dovetail a 24" wide panel in a few seconds. And that is old tech not cnc.

but I am still a fan of cnc

I s'pose cnc is the bright side so you must be a "Brightsider"
