...today. Still working out the kinks in it, but did manage a decent dovetail joint in some 1/2" MDO plywood. It has a real tendency to splinter and chip out, so will have to work on that. I also need to get some handscrews, though the Kreg clamp worked fine for holding the workpieces to the right-angle jig.
I had considered making my own fence and jig, but in the end, saved the $10 at Woodcraft and am pleased with the purchase. I am unsatisfied with the clamps to hold the base in place, and am going to creat a folding table to the rear of the table, so that I can use toilet bolts or T-nuts to hold down the jig. That is for another day, however.
Does anyone have experience with the complete set of templates for this jig? As I understand it, they are sized for the LS positioners, and must be cut down for the original jig. That doesn't bother me, but I wonder if you can still use them in a LS positioner if I ever get one.
