Glen Bridges Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I stumbled across craftsman 16 inch dovetail box joint jig all the pieces appear to be there and the guy just wants to get rid of it. Retail price was $199 he wants $40. I have never done either of these type of joints. Would this be a good jog to learn with? Any and all opinions wants.

Tpt life Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Any jig at this discount is worth it. Grab it, cut your teeth, evaluate its shortcomings, then eBay it for twice what you have in it if you don't like it.

Twistedcowboy Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have the Porter Cable Dovetail jig and love it. If all the pieces are there, I'd say that's a great buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 That's a hell of a deal. Even if the dovetail fingers aren't perfect, I would still use the crap out of it for finger joints. Well done. Now go use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
