![]() "B A R R Y" wrote in message ... Snip 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 Snip 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. |
