Default Leigh D4R - bit the bullet

The two main negative perceptions uncovered in my research came down
to the OmniJig's lack of flexibility, and the D4R's complexity. I
went for the Leigh, figuring I can always eBay it if things don't work
out. The jig arrived, and yesterday, I spent about 4 quality hours
with it and a Bosch 1617.

Results? Perfect sample drawers on the first shot, and I haven't even
seen the video yet! G

Enjoy the jig Barry. I have had mine for 6 or 7 years. The Akita came out
after I bought my D4 however IMHO it had way too many loose pieces to have
to set up and keep up with.

If you like box joints, the Leigh F1 template works great also and has the
same great manual. It is quick and with an up spiral bit the joints come
out perfect. After initial adjustments the F1 jig requires no set up time
the next time you want to cut box joints. A big plus is that despite what
Leigh says, you can indeed cut multiple sized box joints with 1, 1/4"
straight bit rather than having to use larger bits for larger cuts.
