Trivially. It doesn't tell me what I am missing.
How about I got a Leigh jig for $100 out of the paper and haven't had
the time or money to build a nice bench yet to do my planing, sawing,
choping (chisels) with. So, for now I find the quick setup and ease of
use on the jig a piece of cake. And those dovetails look sweet (using
a Leigh with variable spaced dovetails does look 10x better than the
standard 1/4" crapsman jig and various wannabes out there).
I've used it to dovetail boards as long as 5 feet (the jig went on
cinder blocks on top of a table, that was fun

I wouldn't have even
wanted to try that by hand.
But having said that I still hope to build a nice work bench someday (I
already have the vise hardware) and will be more than happy to do
handcut dovetails. Will I sell my jig? Probably not, it's too handy
to get rid of and at $100 I'm not likely to see another deal like that
again anytime soon.
