Default Akeda Jig - what's up

ps to my earlier post

the JoinTech Cabinet Maker System does a lot more than just
dovetail and finger/box joints and I've used it a bunch. Does
sliding dovetails too. with replacable zero clearance fence
inserts and a fence you can move in 0.001" increments it's
also handy with bit sets like frame and panel / cope &stick
sets.

finger joints - graduated sizes in graduated drawers

half blinds on both ends of graduated drawers

lots of finger/box, dovetails and sliding dovetails used for chisel
racks. - great low risk practice that yields useful things. By using
sliding dovetails, I can change internal rack configurations in the
future cause the sliding DTs don't need to be glued in.

Consider the JoinTech Cabinet Maker System rather than just
a dovetail jig. LOTS more capabilities AND can use 1/2" shank
router bits rather than the more delicate 1/4" shank.
