MLCS has a decent looking dovetail jig, #8706
http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/dovetailjig.html


I'm thinking of getting it.
For $54/shipped, it looks like the best bang-for-the-buck for sub-$100
jigs.

Anyone have any hands-on experience with this jig?


That sure looks a lot like an old Sears dovetail jig I once had. It
worked ok after a lot of trial and error.
Made plenty of drawers with it though.

I thought that jig looks a lot like the Porter Cable 4112 see photo
http://www.thewoodshop.20m.com/pc4112.htm and after looking at the manual it
is the old PC one. They have the same exact measurement that my manual has,
19/32" from the edge of the board. I bet there a ton of people who have
used the PC version and could give feedback.

I have the 4112 and it has been pretty handy. I used it quite a bit when I
was making a bunch of draws for a project.

Nothing fancy.
