At $150 from Leigh, this one is really afforable. Some compromises over their higher end models but looks really workable. Anyone getting it?

This is a nice upgraded version of the keller jig really, what separates them is the added functionality and that the fixture moves on guides instead of moving the work on the guide. This makes a more accurate extension of the cuts... priced reasonable well too.

Yes. Had to resist diving in to get one. I don't need one at this time but the urge is really really strong.

I do have a Leigh super 18" and you know what? it hardly gets used unless I plan for it... getting a dovetail jig is nice but unless you have a project you intend to use it on, it becomes money sitting on the shelf... :sharky:

How nice of you. I was expecting (hoping?) the opposite response!

That did it. I was already exploring AMazon and Highland who may have a better deal. But will wait for now.
