| 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." |

| Registered User Jr. Member |  leigh super 18 aquisition help good day everyone, this my first post but been lurking for a while now. I am looking to purchase for myself a leigh super 18" dovetail jig. unfortunately, I'm from Manila, Phillipines and this item isn't available here. also upon inquiring with woodcraft, it would cost me USD 176.00 on shipping alone(well together with the VERITAS MK. II Honing Guide) and that is the slow one(fedex). I don't mean to be a cheapie, but the added cost of USD 176.00 is just way too much for me. would anyone be familiar with the leigh jig avalability in any other asian country? or maybe better shipping cost? I know this isn't supposed to be in this thread, but I really need your help... Thnk you... Sonny |

| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | You might find a better deal on shipping through the Australian retailers. They may offer dfferent products but it is worth checking out.

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Sonny, Carba-Tec here in Australia sell the Leigh 18" jig and they ship overseas and will email freight quotes on receipt of an order, but of course will not ship until it's accepted. The current price is listed as $362.00 Aust. dollars but includes 10% tax which you wouldn't have to pay. Here is the link: www.carbatec.com.au

| Registered User New Member | I ordered the Finger Joint template and the IsoLoc template for mine and hope to use them in the next couple of days. Also found Porter Cable collets in 8mm and 3/8" from Highland Woodworking to use instead of the collet reducers that come with the jigs. Hope you get it and enjoy it, I have cut some nice through dovetails with my Super 18.

| Registered User Jr. Member | Thank you Mike and Jim, my wife aquired it already, wanted to get the Finger Joint template and the IsoLoc template as well but budget allows the jig and accessories for the moment... It should suffice for now. need some practice first before the upgrade (budget dictated )... |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | Hi Timber B/4 you put out the 219.oo dollars for the Leigh 18" you may want to take a hard look at the OakPark jig for doing the IsoLoc joints on the router table,, they go for the same price but the OakPark one can be used on the router a real big plus... http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?p...Loc%20template http://us.oak-park.com/catalogue.htm...roduct=EZL0445 http://us.oak-park.com/catalogue.htm...roduct=EZL0444 http://us.oak-park.com/catalogue.html?list=RTS-LDS- =========
