    Breadboard Ends With Leigh Jig?

    I've been trying to find some directions or vids on how to use the D4R Pro to do breadboard ends, but can find any. I know Leigh shows the breadboard ends, however there are no demos on how to. Anyone know of any?

    I am puzzled. How will a dovetail jig be used to make breadboard ends?

    The jig can do sliding dovetails, which could be used in place of a mortice and tenon joint. I just haven't seen it done, although I have seen the end product.

    I don't have bar shown in the video, but I could make one.

    Lowell, great video, however you don't show the slot being made in the end piece of the breadboard end. Maybe I'm just missing something.

    It is made with the breadboard vertical and the dove tail bit is centered on it instead of at the outer edges...
    If you do not have the bar, you can make one out of any hardwood... not sure of size but if memory serves me it it 1/4 x 1/4

    Ed, thanks. Kinda figured it was like that, however I wanted to see if there was simple way of centering the DT bit on the edge of the Breadboard end.
