Many good ones on the market place but I like the Katie...
The Katie jig is about the same as the

just at lower price and it can be use on the router table unlike the Leigh. one.

for bits see below

What would be the best dovetail jig to buy? I know most of you have jigs that you bought that would of been best manufactured as a paperweight (like the crapsman model I got off of ebay) and others are easier to set up w/o a ton of tweaking every time you change the set up.
I just got my router and this is one of the main reasons why I purchased it. The Market is loaded with them from 19.99 - 700.00.
Thank you for your opinions.

Hi SB

I like the Katie, but it's not cheap (about $229.oo if I recall ) the MLCS one will do the same job at about 1/3 the price..plus it can be use on the router table or with a hand router setup.

I aslo like the Porter Cable 4216 but like the Leigh a bit over price..the guy on the other side of the counter will ask will that be a CC or a 2nd. on the house...

I thought I read your post to read "Many good ones on the market place but I like the CMT..."

Which one do you like the best. How is the Katie. I have been watching Charles Neil use one and they sure look good. They sure make a small one too.
