I recently was able to get a basic Keller dovetail jig, and since then I have wanted a low buck router table to use it with. (my previous router table had a top like an Utz potato chip) This one was advertised on craigslist as a "shaper table". It is the porter cable aluminum table with a little porter cable router installed- which is nice because I already have collets and wrenches. I like having the switch right there.

50 spacebucks for the router table with the motor. Now I need to figure out how to mount a couple of destaco clamps onto the jig, and I think I will be ready to go. One thing I like about the Keller jig is that the setup is super easy- I was able to cut an acceptable joint on the first two parts I cut! This jig is through dovetails only.
