Has anyone heard anything about this jig?

Initial thoughts?

Not until now! Looks interesting, I wonder what they'll be selling it for.

Looks like the "omni jig" for m&t work. Looks like a lot of adjusting like a dovetail jig IMO. Would be a real timesaver for multiple joints though.

It was in Wood mag. this month, when I went to the site the first time it was $149 but in this video they say under a $100. From what I can see on the net this one is a little different then the first one they showed and the show.

The tenon side looks fundamentally wrong to me, relying on the operator to hold the cutter away from the work to maintain size.

I agree with Wess. Trend makes a jig similar to this... I'll stick with my Leigh, it's amazing.
