Nope. Not unless you back it up tightly with a scrap piece. It will blow out the back every time.

Don’t need a table saw nor the “slkill” saw. Lots of great furniture was built with a handsaw, chisel, plane and a good marking knife. You can make your own square. It is FAR easier to cut dovetails by hand than a box joint on a router table. At least I wouldn’t do it. I love box joints and use them frequently, but they are cut on a table saw jig like I show in my blog archive.
