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 Greg
The two on the bottom are MLCS, the one on the top is a Katie the same as the GIFKINS DOVETAIL JIG in a way ,all 3 work great the only bad part of the Katie and the Gifkins is they both cost about 230.oo bucks ea.but they both are Not adjustable and you can add to the setup on the Katie but it's not a cheap add on.
I should NOTE, you don't need to buy the extra fingers from Katie you can make your own with some 1/2" thick Walnut .
Then use a small tee-nut and a short Allen Flat Hd. Screw to hold them in place.
JUst use one of the ones that came with the jig and use a trim router bit to make a copy of it.

thanks Bj.
the Katie and the Gifkins jigs look pretty slick, but they sure do make you pay for it!

Hi Greg

Yes it's a slick jig and they do want the big bucks for it, that's why I started to use the MLCS plus it will do long stock and all at the right price.
BUT all you get from MLCS is the plates but that's not a big deal it's easy to make the blocks and the clamping bars for them and then they can be use on the router table.

here's a link to what they look like when they are ready to use on the router table.
