Multiple uses, very accurate, well designed and constructed

Good quality product. It may take a little tweaking to slow down proud edges. As one gains experience you will become more precise in the cutting of tails and pins.

After several scrap pieces and following the direction, I made my first rabbeted dovetail joint successfully. This Porter Cable jig was well worth the money spent to make my first piece of furniture. I highly recommend this device.

I purchased this tool a few years ago. This was while I was still in the military. I did a few things with it and they all turned out great. I put this aside for a few years and am now getting back into using it. Oh, what a joy it is to make keepsake boxes and jewelry boxes using this jig. The pins and tails give it a beautiful look especially when finished off with a fine coat of laquer. Love this jig. Glad I bought it. I did purchase the 4216 model and it all came without any damage.

I purchased the PC dovetail jig about a month ago. The first thing I noticed is how solidly it is built using steel construction with thick, accurate aluminum template guides. The capability to have normal and mini joints is a plus with the deluxe kit. It also comes with detailed instructions that are fairly easy to follow, although there could be some additional detail on tuning in for best joints. PC does have a supplementary instruction manual online which I recommend reading to understand the full capabilities of the jig. After some practice to become familiar with it I was able to figure out how to set it up to make attractive and tight joints. It did take some initial experimentation.

Got this dovetail jig for Xmas to help with a kitchen remodel. Finally opened it to make drawers for the first cabinet I made. Having never used a jig like this before I thought I was doing something wrong. Although I could make tight half-blind joints after some trial and error, I couldn’t make the ends of the sides flush. There was always a 1/32+ offset between the edges. This was a big problem as I was using pre-milled 5/8 maple with a 1/4 groove for the bottom. The offset prevented the plywood from fitting in the grooves as they were misaligned. After a couple of frustrating hours and some internet searching, I discovered that the offset guide that aligns the pin and tail boards didn’t provide a true 1/2 inch offset, instead it was less than 15/32. Although I was apprehensive to do this, I took a mill file and gradually filed the pin board side (top) of the offset guide until it gave a true 1/2 offset between the pin and tail boards. Now it works fine and I can make perfect dovetails each time with flush drawer sides. PC needs to have better quality control. I expected better.
