Unfortunately, this jig has more than a couple of problems in its design. I have one and it is kind of a mess to work with. You are almost better off hand cutting your pins and tails.

I was able...

The new Omnijig that you are looking at is very easy to use and very simple to set up. I have been having a great time using mine. As Guy said, though, you will have to do some practice cuts and...

Don't forget the PC Omnijig. I have had mine over a year now and it has been quite a capable workhorse.

By the way, though it isn't in the picture, I do use the sawdust vacuum attachment on the...

Yes, you can.

If you go to the DeltaPorterCable web site to:

This is the advanced manual for their 4212...

I would also include the PC Omnijig in your list. I have been using mine (the 24" model) about a year now and have been extremely happy with it. It has a recipe card approach that makes it...

I kind of go with this rule:
1 adult for every child.

When you have children in the shop, you really need to be able to pay attention to what they are doing, because sometimes they don't do that...

One other safety issue that I saw...

What about the camera operator?

The bushings that come with the Omnijig have O-rings you can put on to secure them in the router. I once was lazy and didn't put the O-rings on and noticed that the bushing was loose after a run of...

One good thing about the new Omnijig or the D4R, as compared to the Superjig, is that the extra stock capacity beyond 3/4" allows you to easily put in sacrificial wood to reduce the tear out. I like...

Roy,
Have you checked in with this at the DIY ATM forum on Cloudynights.com? There are several folks there who have made bino mounts and would probably have some excellent experienced based advice...

You can get the instruction manuals for this jig online from DeltaPortercable.com site. There are two manuals. One is the basic manual and the other is an advanced topics manual. It is worth it to...

As a practical matter, if you pull the motor out (in the lowered 0 degree position) as far as you can with your hands, and then tighten it, you will likely satisfy the tension requirement the...

Cliff,
Are you referring to the half-blind sliding dovetail template when you say "movable dovetail guide rack"? Because the 24" Omnijig is shipped complete, as is, with a standard variable finger...

It is worth looking at these jigs again since there have been a few changes in the past 12 months.

Don't forget the new PC Omnijig (not the old one). It is quite a whoseedo, as well.

Since I...

I haven't had any problems with the splitter or pawls on my TS3660, though I found that the alignment of the splitter to the blade is very critical, especially if you are using a thin kerf blade...

James,
You should enjoy it. I have been having a blast with mine.

LOL!!! Given the topic of the thread, I read this as your PC (Porter Cable) was making bad sounds.... but then you lost me with the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) and rebooting.. I was going through a...

I second the 12" recommendation. I have an 8" combo, which I use a lot (the disk, at least), but if I ever get another one, it will be a 12".

If you get a belt combo, get a belt that is wider...

I will be routing some circles for a 24" Dobsonian telescope that I am building. The circles are for the upper cage assembly (this is a truss tube design). These will be test circles (so I am not...

I have been making both through and half blind dovetails with my (fairly new) Omnijig. When I get a chance, I will post some pictures shortly.

In short, this is a terrific tool. It is very...

I'm using one of the new PC 24" Omnijigs and it has been a real treat. Making adjustments is pretty straightforward and its recipe card use of stops, guide bushings, bits, and bit height gauges...
