For the joint to be any good you'll need to get the wood bang on parallel with the cutter (in the vertical direction) which will be difficult without a fence which would have to stick down though the table.

I think I'd invest my time in buying a Festool Domino (amazing bit of kit) and if I wanted dovetails a dovetailing jig.

Thanks for feedback.

The corner innermost to the machine will be made very accurate so that any wood placed up against it will be vertical in both planes. The whole assembly would be securely fastened to the bed using location points to give repeatable positioning.
Domino's too big for my purpose and also too expensive. Need more joints than just dovetails, the vice would allow wood to be angled at 45 deg. for example.

Now commited to current idea having ordered 2 of these; http://www.oxfordweldingsuppliesltd....sey-clamp-gh20

This will be accurate, repeatable, easy to work with, the corner being perpendicular to or at right angles to X,Y,Z planes.
