Thread: Christmas Gift

Before you make the purchase, I would also consider the Incra Fence System and also the Jointech as alternatives. You get a template per say and you would have to use a router table, but it mat be worth the investment.

I have just started making lots of sawdust with my Gifkins.
For what it may be worth, I went with the A10. I liked the spacing relative to the size of the pins/tails, however I will purchase next time round, the H10. Additional reasons for the A10 over the A20 was the dimensions of the stock I see myself using mostly seem to be most suited to the A10 as far as appearance and spacing went. I am sure there are others who will have other opinions, equally valid as mine.
There is no size difference between the A10/A20, H10/20 etc, the cutters are the same size for each template. The difference is in the spacing of the pins centreline to centreline.
I have the Incra system as well and I think it will be a long time before I use the Incra templates to make joints again. just because I have a new toy and think the Gifkins produces a better joint. Having said that, each has its limitations and there are thinks that each cannot do.
