I have the imitation Keller jig put out by MLCS Woodworking.
I like it, except for one thing. Tear out.
Since the jig is mounted to a board to work, the first time you route dovetails, your workpiece is backed up. Every time after that, it is not, and it causes splintering and tear-out.
How do you Keller fans get around this?
So far, I've only done Ash & Red Oak with it. I know those are splintery woods, but I should be able to do it on any wood.
