Ok, I'm going to put my two cents in if it's not too late.
I own the jig and have for the past 20+-(?) years. The reason for the question mark is because I can't remember how long it's been.
I bought the jig at a tool show when it was first invented. I have the orginal everything.
One guy said that it was just another plastic tool and that he didn't like the looks of it. I feel sorry for you. You are missing out on a great tool. One of the things I like about it, is the fact that it is plastic. If you mis-cut, you don't ruin any bit's or tools. But at the same time, it is a good solid tool.
I have used it for just about everything, and I'm still learning new ways to use it. Now they even have new jigs/acc you can use with it.
I would almost say, I am one of the orginal users of this tool. Make no mistake about it fellow woodworkers, this is a tool that is most usefull in the shop. I like the standard dovetail, but there is nothing pretty about it. This jig makes things very decrative and makes your project's come alive.
Jigstik: Nice job on describing this jig and how to use it.
Thank you for letting me get my two cents in.
Jay
