Don't mean to add to your list of things to check out
but consider your "needs". The WoodRat and it's
pseudo clone probably do a lot more things than the
AKEDA. And if it's dovetails - through and half blind
- AND all the other things a router table with a
precision positionable fence - with replaceable Zero
Clearance Inserts IN the fence- can also do - have a
look at the JoinTech Cabinet Maker System (which,
coincidently I got before getting the AKEDA for just
dovetails. If you want cope and stick / rail and stile
with raised panels in your project list - it will do those
and then some. But for dovetails and box/finger
joints it'll be a bit more hassle to do than with the
AKEDA.


Thanks for that Charlie, - more food for thought
