Leigh Dovetail Jig (Model #D 1258R-24)
I've been offered the chance to buy the Leigh D 1258R-24 jig, but I can't seem to find much about it on the web. Anybody out there own one or are familiar with it??? It's not local so I can't just stop over and look at it, so if you can share some advice with me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Leigh Dovetail Jig (Model #D 1258R-24)
Jim,
I have a D4 Leigh Jig which I hope to start using this weekend and hence, was interested in your post. I checked my literature and the internet and both Jim and Charles above were right on.
Leigh has 3 older models the D1258R-24 being one of them. They can be upgraded to the latest model by:
- Leigh Cam-Action Speed-Clamps .... $35.00
- D4 Side Stops and Scales ............. $23.00 & $40.00
Additionally,
- Leigh User Guide ......................... $12.00
- D4 Dovetail Jig Instructional Video .. $20.00
Some regular mail order catalogs such as Highland Hardware, Lee Valley Tools and Woodcraft Supply carry the Leigh line but this being something special, I would think that going to the manufacture would be the way to go. They are at 1-800-663-8932.
A real good article on the Leigh Jig, particularly the D1258R-24 can be found at: http://www.thewoodshop.20m.com/leigh.htm
