bywc Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 from what little experience I have had with dovetail jigs, as long as you are using the correct bushing and bit any router will work it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_in_SD Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 The jig comes with the porter cable standard bushings and router bits. Most routers have a base plate that will accept the standard bushings -- pretty much an industry standard. Keep in mind that the PC unit uses a custom dovetail bit so when the time comes to replace the bit, you must buy a replacement bit -- not just any 'ol dovetail bit. I own one. It is a good unit -- not as flexible as the higher priced variable spacing jigs. Results not as pretty as a finely handcut dovetail. But for cranking out drawer boxes it works well.
