Good ones can be had for less than $100. Now if you want good and veritable you may have to spend 3 to $400. Typically the common cheaper ones will do a good job however they are only designed to do Blind Dove Tails. IMHO these are harder to do than Through Dove Tails as the router bit setting has to be perfectly set in depth. This is true on cheap and expensive traditional stile DT jigs. Other than that, Leigh and PC make the better multi purpose jigs. |

Have to agree with you. Saved myself over $400 -- had to buy a dovetail saw and the templates from lee valley though... All the dovetail stuff... http://www.leevalley.com/wood/Search.aspx?c=2&action=n My el cheapo stuff -- which works fine. About $30 and you are in business... http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...=1,42936,50298 http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...18&cat=1,42884 I already had the chisels... It takes less practice than with the router. And I have been able to get many dovetails with almost invisible seams. And any day real soon I will be able to use my shop for something more than base molding and window trim. sigh! -- Will R.

I have a Sears (yes, I know, shame on me) "Professional" jig that does half blind and through dovetails and, with an additional template, two sizes of box joints. Both together were less than $100 several years ago. NOTE: The first thing you should do is make a copy of all the templates with a pattern following router setup.

Take a look a the "user agreement" link on that web page. Among the various things in that agreement (from the web page, posted for critical comment): "Removing the seal from the product indicates your agreement to be bound by the terms of the agreement. ("Agreement") printed in the User’s Manual. If you do not agree with the "Agreement", do not remove product seal and promptly return, this tool, package and the other items (written materials and containers) to Stots Corporation for a full refund." Not having seen how the product is shipped, one would hope that the User manual is packaged separately so you can see to what you are agreeing before opening the package. Actually, reading below, this may not be the case since they want the User Manual destroyed if you decide to terminate the user agreeement. More importantly: " You may not: a. allow individuals that did not purchase the original Product use the Product or any templates produced using the Product or Process described (without specific written permission from the Stots Corporation)" In other words, if your Father-in-law, son-in-law, or anybody else comes over to your shop, you are breaking the license agreement if they happen to use your jig or any of the jigs you create using the original jig. "You may: a. use the Product (or any of the working templates produced using the Product or Process) in only one shop by the original purchaser only; b. make one (1) copy of the instructions for backup purposes, provided that you reproduce all proprietary notices on the copy; and c. use the Process described in the instruction book (multiple US patents pending) only with the original Product provided with the instruction book." So, if you are a small shop and have several employees, only one of those employees are allowed by this license to use this jig. Not sure how this would be interpreted if you were to try to take this jig or any of the working templates produced with the jig (guess non-working templates are OK) to multiple job sites rather than only using them in your shop. Of course in typical EULA-ese style, all of the obligations are placed upon the purchaser while the seller disavows any responsibility for anything, anywhere, anytime beyond what you pay for the jig: "IN NO EVENT SHALL STOTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, COLLATERAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF YOUR PURCHASE AND USE OF THE PRODUCT OR OUT OF THE WARRANTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATIONS LOSS OF USE, PROFITS, GOODWILL OR SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF WOOD CUT BY THE USER" ... and of course how you can terminate the license: " GENERAL—You may terminate this licensee at any time by destroying the Product; templates produced using the Process, and all copies of the instruction book or by sending them to Stots. Stots may terminate this license if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of the License Agreement. Upon such termination, you agree to destroy or return the Product; templates produced using the Process, and all copies of the instruction book or by returning them to Stots. " Actually, upon looking at the above statement, this is even worse than a standard software license. At least if I decided to terminate my Word, Powerpoint, or Excel license, I would not be expected to delete any Word, Powerpoint, or Excel document templates that designed using the licensed software. Or for other software, I wouldn't be expected to delete any of the files created by that other software. Further, I wouldn't be required to destroy the software manuals because I had stopped using the software.

You're are the last one I expected to advocate the "lube it up and bend over" approach. Not sure I'm advocating that so much as advocating for sending the message that this kind of approach to sales is so far out of the mainstream that buyers should stay away in droves. i.e., don't patronize the businesses that take this kind of Draconian approach to their sales.

100%. The OP never mentioned handcut dovetails. A completely different
process. "Lobby Dosser" wrote in message news:Luupf.14078$l25.7831@trnddc03... "CW" wrote: You mean it became off topic immediately. Only by 50%.

For the occasional dovetails that I make, I use a set of spacer blocks
on the router table. The blocks need to be accurately cut, but once made will last forever. Cuts very nice joints for minimal investment in time & takes up little space in a drawer. Bugs |

Not much in the wau of DC for these jigs. I would suggest a
router "with" DC which does a pretty fair job. Look at the PC 8529... that has a built-in dc at the base. That does a "fair" job but does not get it all...

How many people are going to read the thing? How many are going to care?
Advocating not buying the thing just puts you in a position of not buying much as more and more companies THINK that they can run your life and dictate law. I can just see the end result of all this, some company will start sending junk mail stating " buy removing this ad from your mailbox, you agree to turn over your house to our company at our discretion". This could go further. Printed on the back of your birth certificate: "By the act of being born, you agree to work for our company for a period of forty years from your eighteenth birthday. You also agree that terms and conditions of this employment are left completely up to the company". "Mark & Juanita" wrote in message ...

Yes, I do - and yes, you did. :-) There're photos of the jig at the link below. The "template" is a pair of part programs (one for tails and one for pins) that take angle, height, width, displacement of each tail from the edge of the board, bit diameter, and depth of cut as parameters to produce common, half-blind, and non-mitered full-blind dovetail joints using only a straight bit. For the dovetails in the picture I used a 1/8" 3-flute center-cutting end mill (because I didn't have a suitable router bit) at 16K RPM and fed at 90"/min. If I'd used a smaller bit (say, 1/32") both the inside and outside corners would have appeared "sharp" instead of "rounded". I absolutely guarantee that I totally lack the skills to cut that joint by hand to produce an exact fit - and I have nothing but admiration for people with that kind of skill (and eyesight!) Fortunately, it's sometimes possible to substitute one skill for another... -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/cnc_joinery.html |
