- Great all around
- Works as advertised. Have a fence and be able to make every kind of box and dove tail joint. Easy to set up. On mine the four bolts that connect the wood tracks to the right angle fence were short or the holes were not drilled deep enough. Bought 1 and 1/4 inch bolts and that took care of it. Takes a minute to get used to using but not hard. I would recommend this product.

- Great router fence - complicated dovetails
- I've owned one of these for about a year and a half and have cut some beautiful dovetails using this system.
Set-up is easy and explained well by the manual. Incramental adjustments are easy, and the positioner is rock-solid. You have to be very careful, because your stock may want to move in the middle of a cut when clamped to the right-angle feature.
Making dovetails: The templates are easy to follow, but require too many steps to set up. Adjustment and centering of your workpiece is critical, and cutting dovetails by incramental changes in fence position takes just too long if you have more than a couple to cut. I would rather spend the time to hand-cut the dovetails. After my initial few, I haven't used the dovetail function of this jig.
As a router table fence, this system can't be beat for the money. For the price of many standard router fences and a little modification, you can have tremendous functionality. The bit hole in the fence is too small, but with the t-slots on the front, you can attatch a second adjustable fence that you can make from MDF and laminate. Using 3" thick MDF covered with laminate as a second fence, I have even used raised panel bits. The ability to adjust the fence position at will is great. The fence is solid, stable, adjustable and a breeze to use. I tend to measure, but when you get the template guide zeroed in, you can simply set the fence where you want it using scale measurements. I wouldn't buy this as a dovetail jig alone unless you are VERY patient, but it is well worth its price for use as a router table fence. I use mine at least weekly and wouldn't trade it for any router fence system out there. I'm currently looking at Keller and Leigh as better dovetail options. Thanks for reading.
