Subject: Woodsmith Dovetail Jig?

Has anyone assembled the Woodsmith dovetail jig and found it to be
accurate and easy to use. You can purchase a template from Woodsmith and
make a jig with which you are able to rout half-blind dovetails. I would
think that the tolerances for mounting and adjusting the template would be
pretty tight and leave little room for error or slop? Thanks - Dan

I built the Woodsmith dovetail jig and it's OK.  But I eventually bought a
Leigh.  The Woodsmith jig is easier to adjust than it may seem just from
reading about it in the magazine.  But it doesn't even come close to the
Leigh in versatility.  You have to be careful with the Woodsmith template
not to run your router bit through it.  It's made of UHMW plastic and one
slip and you need a new template.  Trust me, it happens!
