Jigs and Fixtures This area will be directed towards the art of designing specific jigs and fixtures. Bob and Rick say, "if the specific operation is to make more than one piece the same size and shape then chances are you need a jig and/or fixtures."

Hi Router

Yep they are expensive that's why I sent off for the other two from MLCS and made my own.
I made two for about 1/2 the price of the K brand,plus they will do wider stock.

Well, I was interested in K jig because of spacers you can add for variable spacing but the prices they’re asking one might concider a Leigh jig. Much more capable and better investment.
outrageous prices on these things.

I like the JR as well for the spacers. That is one thing about the gifkin is it isn't very adjustable. You can make some use of spacers to widen a dovetail to allow for a saw kerf but not adjustable other than that.
