Trend Mortise & Tennon Jig

[Mike OMelia]

Any opinions on this jig? Is it worth the investment? Any happy (or not so happy) owners out there?

Guess I will find out in my own! :)

And then you will post a review :-)

Yes I will! :) it looks really nice. The videos I watched were impressive. It's overpriced... Got a good deal on eBay, NIB, not a great deal, but a good one

I bought a Trend M&T jig several years ago, but quickly discovered that there was no provision to allow for fine tuning of the fit of the tenon to the mortise. They either came out too loose or too tight depending on which size I was making. After a lot of frustration I bought a Leigh FMT . The FMT jig has the ability to fine tune the fit with a simple knob adjustment, and once adjusted, the results are as repeatable and as precise as a CNC. Double, triple, and quad M&T joints are even possible with the same accuracy. I have since given away my Trend jig.
