I've just started looking for a jig to make dovetails, box joints, or both.
I like the looks of both of these joints, tho I do see there are some pretty fancy dovetail joints out there....I think they call them isoloc joints?
I've run into the Leigh D4R, and their model 1600 which I guess in discontinued.
Seems like the dovetail jigs produce a joint faster than the box joint jigs....and it seems their easier to get dead-on, but I only say that from watching a handful of youtube video's on some of them.
Can some of you give me some recommendations of a good setup?
Here's my criteria....
I want to use my router, not my table saw.
I'd like to stay under $400
Isoloc joints are nice, but not a must have.
Needs to be simple to use. I don't mind taking my time in assembling the thing and setting it up, but my female half will be using it a lot, and she doesn't have much patience.
