UPS guy showed up with two boxes today. In one is my new Hitachi M12V router destined for the router table I am starting this weekend.

Under his other arm he held a new Porter Cable 4212 Dovetail Jig. This thing is AWESOME.

Very well thought out. In a matter of about 20 minutes I went from opening the box to this.

They really thought of everything when they put this together. And, to include Whitesides bits, that's something. This joint isnt perfect (spacing was off a little for the size of the piece) but it only took a few minutes to do. I am going to try all of the joints in the next couple of nights and Ill give you progress reports. I still must give props to those that are able to cut them by hand, but for ~$100 this jig will get me most of the joints I will ever use. I cant wait to try the through template next.
Still on the road are a Woodpeckers Plungelift Kit and a Frued rip blade, pics to follow on their arrival.
