Leigh D4 dovetail jig gloat!

[brett gallmeyer]

So i just thought i would post this gloat.
I just picked up a used "only 1 project" Leigh D4 24" Dovetail jig from my boss for $50! Its a bit dusty and missing 1 bit, but i think its a steal :)!

Obviously i know the rule, no pics didn't happen. so yes i will be posting pics shortly, i was just too excited and had to share it right away.

...when I bought my 24" Leigh about 10 years ago for $100....included about 10 Leigh bits, some never used.....cost me a few more bucks to upgrade with the D4 clamps...thinking about the dust collection....

That is a sweet deal! Leigh makes an impressive dovetail jig and I'm sure you'll love it. Mine is probably my favorite tool to use.

I sure hope your boss is not a member of this forum, considering how you are gloating about the price to got the jig for!

<snip>...thinking about the dust collection....

Leigh VRS for dust collection is one of my best tool purchases.

Without VRS: chips all over the floor, my shirt and in my shoes after 1 board
With VRS: vacuuming a few chips after the project

I highly recommend the VRS if you have a Leigh jig. Also provides a nice support area for the router between boards. Apply a bit of wax to router base, VRS and the jig fingers for better results.

thats funny cause i actually told him about this forum while i was buying it from him.

[brett gallmeyer]

so just to throw a question out there.

whats the difference between the leigh d4 24" and the newer leigh d4r 24"?

i'm sure ill have lots more questions to come about this jig.
