Pat,
I happened to learn to my dismay today that Rockler has replaced the jig I

have (it is blue if you happen to know it) with a new an improved model
but
they no longer have any spare parts for the old jig. Since the old jig was

kind of shakey in a couple of areas I may be in the market for a new
dovetail jig at somepoint anyway. I saw your reference to the PC 4210. I
had

thought that when I need to get a new jig I would get that one (4212
actually as you can do half blind and full dove tails with that one). I
would be interested in knowing why you don't like that one. BTW, I am the

original poster of this topic.

I think I acquired the same blue jig off someone from Craig's list a
couple years back. I'm still very much a rookie but practicing as much as
I can. I've spent a lot of time working with this jig, but unfortunately
it didn't come with a manual. I looked online but am only able to find
instructions for the grey model which seems to have a different
scale/setup than the blue one. Most problematic, I can't find any
definitive advice on where to set the template fingers so I know I'll get
the proper cut depth without a lot of trial and error. The adjustment I'm
referring to is the two bolts on the very back of the machine that let you
slide the plastic template forward and back. Also having problems keeping
the template parallel to the work piece. Do you happen to have any setup
instructions or advice on that? Thanks!
