I was planning on making guitar amplier cabinets - they use 10" or 12"
stock. If things go well, I thought I might move on to larger
cabinets - kitchen cabinets.

Now how cool is that? I had no idea they were doing that. In
essence. you are getting the Keller (or Katie - I forget which is
which) jig when you buy the system.
Thanks for the link.

Thanks everyone. That video answered my question.

Thanks everyone. I didn't expect the video, so that was very helpful
and answered my question.

Ever consider a box joint?
Table saw and a simple home made jig is all that is required.
No restrictions on length.
Strong, simple, and good looking.

Nope---you got to step up or go with a clamp on jig like the
Keller.
Stepping up is a Omnijig or Leigh, both of which can
do 24" stock. The "new" Omnijig to be realeased this
month will do "both" half-blind or through-dovetails.
The Leigh will do the same.
The Keller can do any length, but through-dovetails only.

Nothing really astounding there. The frame that holds the template is just
that, a frame. No reason you can't take the template off and mount it to

No. The stock inserts into the jig.
24" is going to take a different approach. Not so inexpensive, probably.
What are you building?

Lew's right. Very few folks do dovetails on kitchen cabinet boxes.
Most of the time, dovies are for showing off. Box joints are plenty
strong.
Patriarch,
who has a dusty jig on the lower shelf, behind several seldom-used power
tools...

I have no idea, but expect that aligning them would be difficult.
But if you want to buy a 24" Omnijig, send me an email at
****[email protected]****.
I don't get enough use out it to justify the room it takes up.
