Hi all, Looking to buy my first ' Dovetailer ' jig. Has anyone out there got any advice please as to what I need to start with. Please, not too expensive. :lol:

How much ??? They are taking the p surely? I've seen them cheaper than this too.Shakespeare":3m03pjji said:I did look on the website, and found another one that 'looks' good, it's the DKL35 for £87.95 + extra for the cutter, roughly the same price as the one you are both recommending.
Regards and thanks

Admittedly it can only perform through dovetails of even spacing but that is fine for what I want. (Most customers wouldn't have a clue what sort of davetails they are anyway) It is very easy to set up and use and gives first class results.
