 Leigh’s new 16" dovetail jig could have been named "easy dovetails". The D1600 incorporates many of its big brother’s capabilities, combined with new innovations in a smaller, easy to use package. The jig has a new one piece aluminum extrusion base with machined-in non marring textured clamping surfaces and machined-in side stops on the top and front of the jig body. The top side stops have a 3/8" recess for rabbeted boards. One piece, glass reinforced nylon cam action speed clamps make clamping the workpiece fast and easy. Guide fingers are a new single piece design with a new lock up mechanism. The single piece design allows narrow 7/8" pin centers for easier joint layout. Redesigned scales make positioning the finger assembly effortless and accurate. Icons on the scales clearly indicate which part of the joint is being cut, i.e. pins or tails in through or half-blind mode. Arrows on the scales indicate the direction the finger assembly needs to be moved to make through dovetail joints looser or tighter. Through, half-blind, sliding, angled, rabbeted and end on end joints are all easily routed on this jig. Includes three carbide router bits, a 1/2"D x 8° x 8mm dovetail bit and a 5/16" x 1" x 8mm straight bit for through dovetails, and a 1/2"D x 14° x 8mm dovetail bit for half blind dovetails. Also included is a 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer and a 7/16" template guidebushing, a comprehensive instruction manual and instructional DVD. |

 One of the best just got better! The new D4R-24 jig features a one piece aluminum extrusion base with machined-in non marring textured clamping surfaces and machined-in side stops on the top and front of the jig body. The top side stops have a 3/8" recess for rabbeted boards. Like its predecessor, the D4R easily produces handmade looking dovetail pins and tails. Perfect fitting joints for tiny boxes or large case pieces can be produced in a variety of patterns by simply changing the adjustable guide fingers. Wooden pieces are clamped into the jig quickly and easily with the cam action clamps which can be adjusted for different stock thickness in seconds, or used to repeat the same clamp tension instantly. Through or half blind dovetails can be easily set up by simply flipping the finger assembly over. Jigs are meticulously engineered and constructed. Accepts boards up to 24" wide. Maximum pin thickness 1-1/4". Includes three carbide router bits, a 1/2" D x 8° x 8mm dovetail bit and a 5/16" x 1" x 8mm straight bit for through dovetails, and a 1/2" D x 14° x 8mm dovetail bit for half blind dovetails. Also included is a 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer and a 7/16" template guidebushing, a comprehensive instruction manual and instructional DVD. |
