Jig works Great. Read the instructions, watch a couple youtube videos and make sure you mark your Corresponding pieces. Make sure you do a couple of test pieces, works great!

Nice Jig. Works well initial cut was very close to perfect. Minor adjustments got me there!
You will need to build a base, or stand unless you want to drill into your bench to mount it.

Was looking for a mid line dovetail jig. This is it does a wonderful job. After reading the how to book it was so easy to use and now on to making beehive for the wife. Love this jig.

I have always been intimidated by dovetails until now. Took the plunge and bought the 4212 and wish I would have bought it sooner. With very little adjustments and I was off and running making perfect dovetail joints. I ordered this on a Monday and it was here on a Wednesday. Thanks Rockler for the quick service as always.

Sending it back. Must have gotten a defective jig. Read the directions thoroughly a dozen times. Dovetails don't even come close to fitting. Glad others have had more success.

Just purchased the 4212 and on the second try (bit depth adjustment) produce a perfect 1/2 blind, everything fit perfectly. I think I must have read the manual 4 or 5 time before first attempt. The only issue I had was the top & bottom lining up perfectly but that was extremely minor. I've read reviews that referred to the left stop as problematic. If that's what's being referred to, it's really minor and I'm not yet convinced it was the jigs issue, I may not have had one of the boards firmly adgainst the stop. I spent months researching various jigs & reviews and went with the 4212. I can't offer comparison to others but after a very small learning curve, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and can't imagine others being any easier.

Reasonable price and fairly simple to set up. I get excellent dovetails from this jig, and I really wonder why people pay up to $600 for other jigs. The left hand stop is not quite square on mine (seems that is a common problem) but that is easily fixed. All in all a product I would be happy to recommend.
