Technically if any machine was used in the process, the "hand cut" is voided!
Heard of a very talented guy who would use a use a router jig but make scribe lines
to make it look hand cut?

Does this mean if I use a jointer plugged into an outlet to prep the sock the dovetails can t be called hand cut?

That s right, AG. In fact, if you use any tools at all - saws, chisels, etc - they are not technically "hand cut." They are tool cut.
Now, if you want to say, "hey Rich, you re so stupid, no one can cut wood with their hands," I say to you, where does it end? You control the saw and chisel with your hands, so you say they re hand cut. Well, I control the router on my Leigh jig with my hands, so are mine hand cut? Where s does the line get drawn?
