Includes a detailed instruction manual which I found excellent . I also watched online videos for the setup and how tips . My first test joint was not perfect , and I quickly learned what details to watch for and the next joints were great . Just buy it !

Once setup easy to use. Good quality. The stops could have a raised edge to make it easier to make sure material is against it

As a novice getting into woodworking, it educational, as in don’t try to make dovetails with plywood. Lol, but the only issue I discovered so far, is Skil router is too big for the dado adjustments.

Didn’t even look at the manual. Use this site: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rM1wXtG9iPM and made an almost perfect drawer the first time. Very easy to use for the rookie wood smith!

Operation is very smooth and easy, if you have never cut them before read directions.

This is so easy to set up and use. The instructions are easy to follow and the dovetails lock securely.

Make sure you buy the other components if you want to make other types of joints.

It took a few attempts to get this set-up, but it worked very well once I dialed it in. Also only came with a 1/2″ bit and I had to purchase a new router as I couldn’t readily find a different bit.

Seemed a little confusing at first, but after two tries on scrap, I was making dovetails like a boss. Great product..easy to set up and use..produces perfect fitting dovetails.
