Gonna try a modified, tall handle and push slowly through a sharp, small toothed blade.
The router is far more difficult to set up for each dovetailing session and would require an additional jig and plunge attachment.

I never heard of using a table saw to cut dovetail joints. I have used a router, a band saw, and cut them by hand. You can cut finger or box joints on a table saw.

Yeah, I'd agree, I've never used a table saw to cut dovetail, you should look into Router tables for that. Table saws aren't really made for the fine cuts dovetails require. Not to mention, cuts like that could be dangerous on a table saw.

Conceivably a table saw can cut the male end of the joint, but the female end would look very sloppy. A router is much easier, or you could use the old back saw and chisel method.

I am sure it can be done, but why take so much time when a router can do the job in 1/100th of the time??
