Saw this at the Harbor Freight in Grand Junction, Co. Looks like the best price available.

that is a good price. I’d buy it right now if i didn’t need variable space in a dovetail jig. i HATE the look of set spaced dovetails. Thanks for the post though.

This jig allows for any spacing you like. Here’s their site.

Here’s another website. I haven’t purchased one, just found a good deal to pass along to those that were wanting one.

I bought one recently at Woodcraft, but have not had the time to play with it yet (new baby and evening schoolwork keeping me busy). I’ll have some time in mid-May to play with it. I’ll post a blog them.
