Hi All,

I am a newbie here and am looking for a good dove tail jig/machine to do kitchen, bath, closet and furniture projects. I have browsed the web as well as read the posts here to discover 2-24" dove-tail jigs (Porter Cable and Leigh).

http://www.portercable.com/index.asp?e=547&p=4951

The Leigh looks like the best, but the Porter Cable looks better on the wallet. I would appreciate it if anyone could share their personal feedback on this product and/or recommend some better 24" units.

I want something quick, durable, versatile and accurate.

Sincerely,
Tim

Bill,

I decided on the PC 24" OmniJig :sold: . After a couple of test cuts, it produced a very nice half-blind dovetail.

It seems very solid. The only drawback I see is that you need to design your drawer heights in multiples of 7/8" to get evenly spaced ends.

Thanks,
Tim

Variable Space Through Dove Tails

... One of the major advantages of the Leigh is the variable spacing that isn't available on the PC...

Jerry,

FWIW, the PC 7216 can cut variable spaced through dove tails. See attached picture of variable spacing template.

Cheers,
Tim
