No need to tape when using the right saw.

Do you use the A saw with no set or the B saw set on one side? I was looking at these saws.
I have tried the tape trick in the past with little success. Maybe it is time to try a different saw to see if it is the saw or my technique.
I thought about the band saw. I would rather use a spacer than try to free hand. I sure could use a set of those clamps made to hold an aux. fence.
The table saw methods sounds plausible but possibly take more time to set up than cutting by hand.

First: rough cut to about 1/16" or so above surface. For some projects, this may not be necessary.
Second: flush trim utilizing a shop-fabricated plug trimming router base. This jig is in the below link, jig #13 or 14.
I made one for my Tried and True Porter-Cable 690 and a laminate trim router, which I find easier to maneuver. I set the final depth on the router or laminate trimmer using a feeler gauge, then sand flush with surface.

Just did a video making some boxes using Infinity Tools Dovetail Spline jig. Sweet unit, makes the socket and dovetail angled to fit perfectly.
For me, I cut the excess as close as I dared using the bandsaw, and leveled them out with a sharp block plane. Quick and easy with clean pores to the wood.

Geet as far as you can with a saw. Then, I'd use a block plane. I also have a flush trim base plate for my trim router - works a treat. Bought the base from Pat Warner, so I do not know where you'd get one now.

Hi Bope - sorry, thought that I left you a post - I have the one-sided Veritas saw w/ no set on the teeth - applied the HDMW tape to one side (pic below) - just put the taped side down next to the dowel and hold stead w/ two fingers - works well but may require a little sanding and/or a sharp chisel.
