Ah! I found it! What kind of RPM did you use for the dovetail cutter, after making the base cut???

I tried a sight blade in it, and even if I didn't tap it in all the way it seemed to fit very well. This is a carbide cutter, so I cranked it up all the way (2500 rpm) and ran it dry. The only precautions I took was to set the cutter as deep in the collet as I could to reduce vibrations, and I also brushed out the chips after each cut. It wasn't even remotely as scary as I thought it would be, no vibrations, no funny noises, no nothing. Just go for it!
