After reading instructions and a little attention to setup perfect joint first time. Beats the heck out of the General tool one I had first!

A GREAT JIG FOR MAKING SOLID DRAWERS OR BOXES.wANT THE PC OMNI JIG BUT WILL HAVE TO SAVE UP FOR THAT ONE. THIS ONE IN THE MEANTIME IS VERY GOOD TO LEARN AND DOES EVERYTHING I NEED IT TO.

Having the extra template was a must for me. I thought it was pretty easy to setup and use for a beginner to intermediate user as it only took a couple of tries to figure out the pattern.

Good product and easy to use. There are some quirks for adjustments that are easily worked out with practice. Great results and impressive comments when showing off woodworking.

I struggled with the Porter Cable Dovetail Jig model 4212, because it would not give me consistent results in tightness of joint and alignment of pieces. With a few modifications to eliminate variation, I was able to get consistent results. Modifications are explained in this YouTube Video https://youtu.be/hTRCSAM-YTk

First of all I was impressed with how fast it arrived. It is easy to operate and the test turned out nice with a little tweeking for the first time.
