Although I want to do hand work as much as possible, I think a jig for the kitchen cabinet drawers I'm going to start on next spring is probably a smarter move. I haven't read up much on these things but see the high ratings for the 4212 on Amazon & the supposed low price right now. The usual cliche question from a beginner not taking the time to thoroughly research these things: is the 4212, for the price, a good way to go? Now you can commence throwing the rotten tomatoes.......
