Get an Incra instead, much nicer colour:2tsup: Just a thought, do Festool make a dovetail jig?:rolleyes:

mmm
just looking at the "Incra Universal Precision Positioning Jig"
at $133.00 its in my price range - wonder if it will do through dovetails in 1" timber ?

Got the Carbatec version of the same thing, it was given to me.

Have not yet used it, but was planning on having a go this week.

Yep. Or was that a rhetorical question?

I use TREND'S DJ600 and have had no problems. Uses the same principal design as Festool's but much cheaper. Once the router bit has been accurately set, the joints are beautiful...
