These 12", 18" and 24" capacity dovetail jigs from Leigh are versatile, easy to adjust, and quick to use
Like the D4R Pro jig, they produce through, half-blind, and sliding dovetail joints; in contrast with the D4R Pro, the design of the side stops also allows you to make box joints (with 5/16" and 5/8" fingers) and saves time when routing half-blind joints because the pin and tail boards are machined concurrently
The eccentric guide bushing simplifies fitting these joints by quickly and precisely changing the relationship between the cutter and finger assembly
Made largely from extruded aluminum, these jigs have sturdy cam locks and non-marring clamping surfaces
They cut 8° through dovetails in stock from 1/8" to 13/16" thick, as well as half-blind and sliding dovetails in material up to 1" thick
Spacing of pins and tails is completely variable; however, pin width depends on the diameter of the cutter
Built-in scales allow rapid and precise adjustment for material thickness and fine-tuning of through-dovetail fit
The finger assembly flips to change from through to half-blind mode, automatically orienting the scale correctly
Includes everything required to get started using a 1/2" router: 1/2" × 8° and 1/2" × 14° dovetail cutters and a 5/16" × 1" straight cutter (all 8mm shanks), a 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer, an eccentric guide bushing, a fully illustrated manual and an instructional DVD
The guide bushing fits base plates with a 1 3/16" through bore and a 1 3/8" counterbore
