Default How do I cut a dovetail for a sight?

I have a 686-4 2 inch and I installed the C&S fixed rear sight and its not shooting POI, so I want to mill off the RR sight and cut a dovetail and install a tritium front sight that can be adjusted for windage. I have no idea how to do this or if it can be done with a series of files or if I would have to have a mill to perform this work. Any help would be appreciated!
