Is Omnijig needed if I have Leigh?

[Sal Kurban]

I recently acquired an old D4-24 Leigh jig which is in a very good shape. I have had the old version of the Porter Cable Omnijig-24 with fixed half blind and variable spaced through templates for some time. I also have the 12" version of the Poter Cable with fixed and through templates for small & generic drawers. Would I ever need the heavy duty Omnijig-24 after the Leigh?

I have a Leigh and a Keller. I tend to use the Keller a lot more.

I know, that's not what you asked....

From what I can tell the Leigh is much more capable. I tend to keep tools unless I ahve a compelling reason to sell them or need the space...

Having two jigs would mean you could set up and run multiple projects at once...

Just my two cents...

I have both. I like the OMNI-Jig's heftiness, I have the 24" model with the fixed finger template. Porter Cable used to make an adjustable finger template, and a template for cutting a sliding dovetail, but since this unit has become discontinued, these templates are getting hard to find. I like the Leigh because of it s versatility, but it seems very difficult to setup. So both basically collect dust in my shop. I purchased a Incra Box Jig to do box joints. It works wonderfully and is easy to set up. Last year I built a Moxon vise and if I want to dovetail a drawer, it is easier for me to do it with hand tools.
