will the D4R make minature dovetails?
BEST ANSWER: Hi Dan -- By using Leigh bits 50-8 and 60-8, you can create tiny through dovetails in material 3/8" or less in thickness. The jig was not originally designed for it, because the TD PINS scale doesn't go down far enough. Thus you have to space the boards away from the jig face with a shop-made block fitted with its own side stop (a thin piece of stock glued to the block, and drilled with countersunk holes to allow it to be fastened to the jig with a flat-head machine screw).The foregoing is a paraphrase of the instructions on pp. 29-30 of the D4R Pro User Guide; I have not used the jig this way myself. To confirm, you might call Jan Heath at Leigh. They have an 800 number which Rockler's computer program won't let me provide here. She is very helpful, and I'm sure would be willing to answer all your questions, even if you haven't bought the jig yet. Also check the Leigh web site. By the way, I found it very useful to order the demonstration disk for the jig and to view it both before I bought it and then again before I used it the first time. It's a wonderful tool.

Be aware to use properly takes some practice
Purchased this jig to do a series of drawers for a project - spent one evening just reading the manual before even taking the rest of the jig out of the box. Spent the next evening just putting the thing together and getting comfortable with the working of the machine - I cut a lot of practice pieces and was glad I did - there are a lot of fine adjustments and getting a feel for working with the jig takes some time. Spent several evenings working though different practice joints to get the feel of things with the router - once you do a few you get a feel for how everything works together - I don't think you are simply going to make great joints right out of the box - I have cut about 30 joints with it now and have not noticed any of the slipping referenced in other reviews - the fingers lock tight on my jig and don't move I do have the vacuum attachment and it is wonderful for support - still quite a lot of shavings, but not nearly as much as without the attachment - the support is the really great part - really makes using the jig much easier - be careful when attaching the arms to the support - the first time I had them in the center and the router wouldn't go all the way to the left - also the router guides do tend to slip out if you are not careful - several of the cuts that they advertise - sliding dovetail and angled dovetails - are not really covered in the manual - you have to go to other locations to get instructions - there are some YouTube videos from the company that are pretty good and they send those on DVD as well - overall a good jig - I have used several other jigs and this is a little more complicated but is easily the best I have used.
