Has anyone used this? I see it's on sale for $59.99 but it seems like
that may be a little cheap. I've seen several complaints about quality
of the Delta tenoning jig so I was wondering if anyone had this one and
has any feedback on it.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

I've read a few complaints about the base having rough edges that needed
filing down so as to not scartch the surface of your tablesaw, however,
I have a delta tenoning jig and didn't have that problem. Luck of the draw
maybe?
I have a review of the Delta Tenoning Jig here if anyone is interested:

Here's my response from a previous thread on the subject.
-------------
I have the jig and the same saw but with stamped wings. I've never used
any other brand so I can't compare. I've made one practice tenon and 4
"real" ones. The results were perfect and it was a breeze to set up for
the cuts. There are some issues though. The base will scratch the s*^t
out of your saw top if you don't ease the sharp edges on the base
DAMHIK. I went around the entire bottom of the base with some emory
cloth and rounded off all of the edges. That seemed to take care of it.
I also had a problem with the bar for the mitre slot being way too
tight. All I did was remove the discs that hold it in the slot. It seems
to work fine that way. There's plenty of weight to keep it flat on the
table. With a little work, it does a great job and it's about $50.00
cheaper than the Jet or Delta so it's not a bad deal if you don't mind
it's imperfections.

Well, luck of two draws. Mine didn't have any problems out of the box.

Broken set screws are apparently common.

The bar on mine was screwed up a little and couldn't ride in the slot in
the TS. It was less trouble to take a file to it then it was to return
it. Now it rides perfectly with zero play.

Same here. No complaints. Just wish I had it earlier as it does a good
job, much better than I could do otherwise.
I've looked at the Woodcraft and it seems OK, but I've never put a piece of
wood in it, just peeked at the store.

P.S. since no one else is giving you any feedback regarding the Woodcraft
jig, you might want to DAGS because this same question came up about a month
ago. IIRC there were more responses specific to the Woodcraft jig.

I think it's common for the Woodcraft jig to be rough on the bottom, mine
was. However, given 15 minutes to sand over the edges is all it took to fix
it right up. A coat of wax and it now slides nicely. The other problem I
had was the washer at the bottom of the track wasn't deep enough to fit in
the T-slot of my saw. I had to add a shim under the washer to get it to fit
perfectly. I think I paid $70 for it and was quite happy with it for that
price. At $60 I think it's a good deal, but plan on 15-30 minutes of
tweaking it.
