butterfly splines

Hello All,

Do any of you have any experience with the Amana 14 degree butterfly bit for
making splines? I would like to use the splines for joints using a dovetail
bit, something like the Hoffmann setup, but not sure how satisfactory they
would be.

I know that wood splines as well as the bits can be purchased from Hoffmann
but personally feel the prices are exorbitant. To me, $52.00 for a ¼"
dovetail bit is unreasonable.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Ted
