MLCS Dovetail Jig?

That sure looks a lot like an old Sears dovetail jig I once had. It worked ok after a lot of trial and error. Made plenty of drawers with it though.

Anyone have any hands-on experience with this jig?

I thought that jig looks a lot like the Porter Cable 4112 see photo

I have the 4112 and it has been pretty handy. I used it quite a bit when I was making a bunch of draws for a project.

Nothing fancy.

Sorry. Won't bother you any more.

Thanks, Larry. I don't always like fancy. Sometimes, simpler is betterer. :-)

I got my hands all over the HF jig and it really looks and feels like a POS. All the adjustment knobs are in the way of the other knobs and some of the key parts are plastic. I read some reviews of the HF and they all say that it works OK, *after* you tweak it up or build parts for it, or whatever.

I don't want to spend $150 for a jig, but I don't want to have to re-engineer the thing, either. :-)

How does $20 sound? Get this instead:
