An Affordable Dovetail Jig

Hello. Anybody out there? I expected some replies -- I think this is a
new dovetail jig from Porter-Cable, not the Omnijig or the 4100
series.....but I could be wrong....

Nobody here
.

I haven't tried any of the jigs in which you seem interested. I built
my own and like it better than anything else I've seen.

I have the Rockler jig which is about the size of a breadbox and does
about as much. I have made some nice drawers with it however.
mahalo,

I looked at the 4212 over the weekend at Woodcraft. I own both
the 4210 and a Omnijig. This new jig looks and feels very nice.

It's also possible to do both half blind and thru dovetails with
the same jig. Woodcraft was asking $165.
