Can someone point me in the right direction to get a dovetail cut in my
1911a1 slide ?

Front or rear? I just had a Heinie dovetail front installed by the smith at Woodland Iron & Firearms in West Bend and I was very happy with the job he did. The sight lines up perfectly with the front of the slide with no gaps, which is more than I can say for some of the Colt Gold Cups Trophys I have seen with what appears to the same front sight. Turnaround was a week and it cost me $49 installed, including the sight itself.

Not sure what you are asking. Every gunsmith worth his files should be able to cut the dovetail for you. Oh if he doesn't have a milling machine, you'd better walk away.
