Hi,
I am just starting to get into woodworking and have decided to get a
dovetail jig. The choice so far is between a Trend DJ300 and a Trend
CDJ300.

The specs seem to be the same.

Given the choice, which would you go for?


Rick....


I have a Leigh and am pretty pleased with the results that I get with
it. Depending on what you want to do, it does take a while to set
up, but the flexibility is good.

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl


A slight difference in the price I fear, no ?

I wouldn't be inclined to buy Trend gear. I always think it over
priced.

Do Axminster not do an alternative to either of the above ?

I have the Axminster one. It is an absolute PAIN to set up, oh and one of
the eccentric clamp (plastic) bushes broke within days but I've made a
replacement in aluminium (how DO people manage without a lathe ???)
