AC D24 Leigh Jig Accessory Kit Includes the following:
- Vacuum and router support (VRS)
- 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 11/16", 13/16" x 8 degree dovetail bits
- 7/16" x 1-1/4" CL straight, 1/2" x 1-1/4" CL straight bits
- 1/2" x 10 degree, 12 degree, and 18 degree dovetail bits
- 1/2" and 8mm shank bits, 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer
- Note: The accessory kit is sold separately (37453) or available with the D4R Pro Jig as a package (49623).
Comes with everything needed to get under way: 1/2" x 8° and 1/2" x 14° dovetail cutters and a 5/16" x 1" straight cutter (all 8mm shanks), a 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer, a 7/16" O.D. guide bushing*, a 160-page manual, and a 44-minute DVD. Router with a 1/2" collet required.
- Handles boards up to 24" wide and 1-1/4'' thick - all with infinite
adjustment of pin, tail width and spacing.
- Adjustable guidefingers mean you are never compelled to dimension
your work to suit the jig. Plan your project just as if you were going to cut
the joints by hand, then set up the jig to fit the work. You are never limited
to repetitive, clearly machine-made joints
- Works with almost any router, using the included Leigh template
guidebush.
- Includes two cutters, cam-action speed clamps, crosscut bar, angled
side stop, screwdriver, all mounting hardware, 168-page user guide and
50-minute instructional video.
- Constructed from extruded aluminum, the redesigned jig body now has fixed integral stops to ensure joint alignment and non-marring textured clamping surfaces.
- Quick-acting cams secure the work for precise machining. Built-in scales provide rapid and accurate fine adjustment for stock thickness and through-dovetail fit.
- The finger assembly is removable and flips to change from through to half-blind mode; this reversing action automatically positions the scale correctly.

I am a novice woodworker getting back to my hobby after years of being on hiatus raising kids, work, life in general, etc. so this outfit was a long sought after luxury for me. Once set up and properly tuned, I did a test tail and pin set. A little tweak on the settings and I had a absolutely perfect fit on my second test. Marked the settings on the provided chart and now I am set to use it on my hunting chest I am making. I researched all of the other Dovetail jigs out there and decided to go with the best rated and most versatile system I could find. This is the outfit to buy and you will be glad you did. I know I am.

Excellent Product. Outstanding Instruction. I have been a carpenter for many years mostly rough I wanted to try my hand at some furnature making. I looked at the Porter Cable unit but decided that if I was going to be serious about this endevour, I should purchase a jig that I can grow into not grow out of. I was impressed with the quick setup and pinpoint accuracy of the jig. What a pleasure to use. Thanks LEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been in the woodworking business for 35 years. I learned years ago from an old timer how to hand cut dovetails. I've spent many hours hand cutting pins and tails. I only wish that the old fella' who taught me how to hand cut dovetails was alive to see and use the DR4! I am completly blown away by the quality of the product as well as the quality of the work it produces. I would strongly suggest this product to amateurs as well as pros. it works.....

An exceptional product--great workmanship--quality is unsurpassed. I should have bought one of these years ago instead of some of the junk that I did buy.

I read a lot of ads & reviews for dovetail jigs & the Leigh Jig I bought exceeded my expectations. It does require a little time to get it set up but the instruction manual is put together so well it makes it so easy. I've made dozens of drawers,boxes etc. With excellent results. My Leigh D4R is by far the best jig I've ever used.
P.S. The customer service is excellent!

I purchased the D4R just a few weeks ago, in preparation for use on some table and cabinetry projects for drawer boxes and carcass joinery. I did my research before I purchased. Now, after making a number of test joints followed by a bunch of drawers, I'm glad I did! The D4R is wonderful. The initial setup might take a few test-cuts, but the setup is easily repeatable with the measurements and notes taken during the initial setup. I was quickly able to knock-out a set of drawer boxes with through-dovetailed backs and half-blind fronts in odd-sized stock, and everything came out perfectly. I am completely sold on this jig.
The D4R is an upgrade from the Rockler jig, which served me well but had its limitations. I'm glad I upgraded, and I wonder how I went this long without it!

I read all the reviews I could find before I decided to invest in this Leigh jig. Based on most of those reviews, I expected this product to work very well. After watching the instructional DVD and reading most of the excellent operator's manual that comes with this unit, I was able to build the practive joints you see below. I am VERY impressed with this product and excited about all the possibilities.

This jig may be expensive, but it works very well. I got excellent results on my first attempt at cutting a through dovetail. I've heard some people complain about it being complex to setup, but I found it to be much simpler than other jigs that I've used.
If you see yourself being serious about woodworking, get this jig, you won't be sorry.

I used this jig and had great luck with it. It's pricey, but I highly recommend it. I'm a beginning woodworker, and the instruction book was great at walking you through the steps. Good pictures and instructions. After about 1/2 hour set up and one scrap piece to test, I was doing great. Put together 2 drawers in about an hour and a half, from start to finish.
