No but I'm shocked at the quality of the dovetails in the pictures they chose to use. Not exactly a strong selling element. The design appears similar to the Rockler jig and others.

I think it's the same as what Harbor Freight sells. All the budget priced dove tail jigs look look they come from the same factory, just different color paint.

I saw the ad a couple of days ago and thought at the time it looked amazingly like the Rockler jig.

I would pass, and save a little more and get a PC 4212. It will do a lot more than 1/2" half blind dovetails. I own two.

Those have been replaced.
Rob Lee popped up on the Canadian Woodworking Forum and mentioned that they were redone.
