i was in my local woodcraft store the other day and was looking at the new 4212 dovetail jig.i was pretty impressed by the construction of this jig,very beefy and well made.the salesman said he didn't have any experience using it yet.has anyone tried this model?i don't need variable spacing as the leigh provides,plus i don't want to spend that much money.thanks

I have this jig and have used it on my desk project and it works very well, I picked up the mini dovetail/box joint template 4215 (on sale at Rockler with there 20% off cupon) for some small projects I'm planing on making. http://community.webshots.com/album/307975817LZqTIJ/1
