I just read the post on the Akida Jig, and my first impression was that it looks really cool, and easy to use, and is way out of my budget (especailly when you add shipping).
But, I have to ask myself is there really a need for a $460 dovetail jig these days? There's been a lot of posts lately about how glue joints are stronger than the wood, so the advantages of dovetail joints to me seems dated now. As far as I'm aware, box joints are stronger, faster and cheaper than dovetails (I built a box-joint jig for around $40. It even has a clamp for sacrifical wood to prevent tearout, which the dovetail jigs still don't seem to have...).
So, are dovetails going to be a tell-tale sign of the age of furniture the same way Knapp joints are now, or is there some reason that they will continue to be used?
