Bottom line first: Creates accurate, repeatable finger joints with little opportunity for operator error.

Pros: relatively easy set up with good print directions and a nicely done DVD. My test joints were a tad loose, but the spacer is adjustable in 0.001 increments and with a bit of fiddling was able to create snug-fitting joints. Good attention to safety with a shield that covers the blade (or bit if you're using a router table).

Cons: I tried to use their chart for creating an odd number of fingers using 1/4 inch dado and somehow ended up with an even number of fingers. Since I am behind on delivery on this project, I decided to go forward with the less than desirable finger configuration for the five drawers for the jewelry armoire. (My daughter won't mind and my wife didn't notice). Methinks I need to read through this section again.

Yea, read it again, and or watch that part on the DVD again. I did the
odd number of fingers by accident and it worked well.

This was the first time I actually looked at any instructions for anything I've ever purchased. You're absolutely right ... and I'll never make that mistake again.

My VCR came with a brunette who handled all the tech stuff like setting the clock, recording shows and playback. Didn't yours? G
