I got my 24" Omnijig from Amazon for $295 today. Somehow I didn't really
believe it weighed 60 pounds, but it sure does. I have run some half-blind dovetails; the through will have to wait until PC sends me the straight bit they failed to include. (They haven't said they will send it, but I choosing to be optimistic.) Anyhow, I have a few questions about setup. 1) It is difficult to get the top piece 3/16" under the templete and the offset between the two boards to 7/16". However, if I set the top stop to 1" and the bottom stop to 7/16" it comes out right. Why on earth don't they just tell you to do that?! Am I over looking something, and I just got lucky on this one? 2) It makes a bit of a mess. Is there any clever trick to using a DC to catch much of the mess that anyone has found? 3) How tight are they supposed to fit? Should I need a hammer to put them together, or should the be looser to leave room for glue? What seems to be optimal? 4) In the instruction manual it says to have the bit stick out by 19/32". In the video he says 21/32". I did it before seeing the video and found 19/32" was about right; but I wonder why there is the discrepency? I am sure I will have more questions when I try the through dovetails. Thanks. |
