Background: I'm a weekend woodworking enthusiast (newbie). I have very limited space in the garage.
I was originally going to get a Bench Dog ProTop Contractor Portable Router Table (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=19508) with the Benchdog router lift because of the space savings and one of the smaller Leigh dovetail jigs. I really like the ability to space out dovetails. However, I also looked at the Incra Universal Precision Positioning Jig with Offset Router Table and Fence (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=16383)from Rockler and wonder if the ability to cut dovetails on this set up might be worthwhile. I've used the Leigh, but never the Incra.
Does anyone have experience with these systems or opinions? For other routing applications, I use a Festool router with guide rails.
