Leigh D4R-PRO Dovetail Jig

Product Description

One of the best just got better! The new D4R-24 jig features a one piece aluminum extrusion base with machined-in non marring textured clamping surfaces and machined-in side stops on the top and front of the jig body. The top side stops have a 3/8" recess for rabbeted boards. Like its predecessor, the D4R easily produces handmade looking dovetail pins and tails. Perfect fitting joints for tiny boxes or large case pieces can be produced in a variety of patterns by simply changing the adjustable guide fingers. Wooden pieces are clamped into the jig quickly and easily with the cam action clamps which can be adjusted for different stock thickness in seconds, or used to repeat the same clamp tension instantly. Through or half blind dovetails can be easily set up by simply flipping the finger assembly over. Jigs are meticulously engineered and constructed. Accepts boards up to 24" wide. Maximum pin thickness 11/4". Includes three carbide router bits, a 1/2" D x 8 degrees x 8mm dovetail bit and a 5/16" x 1" x 8mm straight bit for through dovetails, and a 1/2" D x 14 degrees x 8mm dovetail bit for half blind dovetails. Also included is a 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer and a 7/16" template guide bushing, a comprehensive instruction manual and instructional DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars D4R for custom dovetail joints and more., January 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Leigh D4R-PRO Dovetail Jig (Misc.)
I bought it because Leigh makes Leigh Isoloc Template I1B - Clover and Bears Ears and well as a few other templates. Glad I went with the D4R-pro so you can cut very large drawers. If you are a woodworker hobby guy it's a bit expensive but I think it will last a lifetime. One trick is that when you go to move the dovetail spacers they seem locked. After you loosen it press down with the allen wrench and it will click and move free and easy. It is well made and I'm very happy with the purchase.
