10 best leigh dovetail jigs

Product description

Super jigs offer extraordinary joint making capability at exceptional price points. No other jigs equal the versatility and precision of Leigh super jigs. Variably spaced through and half-blind dovetails are standard on all super jigs. Infinitely adjustable one-piece fingers are easily positioned for any joint pattern, guaranteeing a half pin at each edge of the joint, regardless of board width. The cross-cut fence fits on the dovetail finger assembly to become a sliding dovetail template. Rout half-blind pin boards and tail boards at the same time using the included two-function spacer to offset the tail board and rout complete joints in one pass with the super jigs, you're not limited to one bit and one depth of cut. Just select any of the five half-blind bits available and rout half-blind joints in the depth that best suits your project. The finger assembly can also produce two sizes of box joints, 5/16" and 5/8". The amazing joint making capability of super jigs is due in part to the revolutionary new Leigh E-bush. Very precise adjustments for fit are made easily with the E-bush. Settings are changed using the included pin wrench and the uniquely shaped locking nut makes tightening the E-bush a snap. Markings clearly indicate the adjustment direction necessary for the desired change. A simple twist of the E-bush changes its active diameter which in turn changes the fit of finger joints and half-blind dovetails. Easy to use cam action clamps and aluminum clamp bars hold the work piece securely against non-slip material applied to each clamping surface. Includes: 1/2"-8 degree dovetail bit, 1/2"-14 degree dovetail bit, 5/16" straight bit, 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer, sliding dovetail fence, half-blind bridge piece material, E-bush, fully illustrated user guide and instructional DVD.

Product description

Porter-Cable dovetail jig owners can enjoy nearly dust-free routing using the Leigh VRS1200 Vacuum & Router Support. Routers and dovetail jigs produce particularly large amounts of dust and chips. Dovetail jigs also present a challenge to maintain router balance when moving across the template. If the router does not sit flat while routing, the pins and tails may be poorly formed and not fit properly. This full width router support ensures the router always sits flat for safer, easier and more accurate routing. As an added bonus, the router can be securely parked out of the way when clamping boards in the jig. Everything you need is in the box and no jig modifications are required. The one-time setup takes only 15 minutes. Simply place the beam on the support brackets, set your router over the vacuum dust collection port, and you’re ready to rout without all that dust! The Leigh Vacuum and Router Support works seamlessly with the Porter-Cable 4210, Porter-Cable 4212 and Porter-Cable 4216 dovetail jigs, whether you’re routing through dovetails, half-blind dovetails or box joints. Dovetail jig sold separately.
