I currently own a Porter Cable 4216 dove tail jig, will this dust collector work with the PC 4216?
Tony Welcome on Jul 31, 2015
BEST ANSWER: It will not fit, the hole distance is not the same. PC has four thingning knots and rockler has two
Will it work with other dovetail jigs?
Paul J on Oct 12, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I'm sorry, this was designed for the Rockler dovetail jig

I purchased the Rockler dovetail jig...
I purchased the Rockler dovetail jig with the intention of adapting it to a Porter-Cable dovetail jig which is quite similar. It required some relatively minor modification but I was able to achieve a workable and efficient dust collecter.
January 25, 2008
I was given the Rockler Dovetail...
I was given the Rockler Dovetail Jig for Father's day, and was delighted to see the dust collector go on sale the very next day. I hate cleaning up wood chips as much as anyone, so I considered it a "must have" at any cost. After using it a few times, I must say that it does a great job. Hooked up to my Ridgid shop vac (the big one) it pulled in virtually everything that the router bit threw at it. My only dislike is the manner in which it is mounted. Sandwiched between the jig and the front stock clamp, the dust collector hides the lower screw on the adjustment bar which must be loosened each time you center the stock on the template. The first few times I made this adjustment, I removed the dust collector and clamp completely. This was cumbersome, so I decided to make the task easier. I cut a slot from the mounting bolt hole to the lower edge of the dust collector. With this modification I only have to loosen the mounting bolts, not fully remove them. The dust collector will lift up and out once I have loosened the bolts far enough to make clearance for the dust port. This modification doesn't seem to have harmed or weakened the unit in any way, but I'm certain it has eliminated my return options, should I find any other issue with the dust collector. Oh well, it was only $20 on sale. I would hope the good people at Rockler take note of my idea, and perhaps give it a try. Maybe, if they find no issue with the slots, they could modify their design and make their product that much easier to use.

Great at reducing dust; a pain to adjust
It significantly reduces the amount of dust created during dovetailing. However, the collector does block the adjusting screws. Since I make a variety of drawer sizes, I drilled a hole through from the front at each of the screws and widened the back holes. This allows me to keep the dust collector in place and access the screws. I've had the same problem with other users regarding the track that the air dam rides in coming loose.

I purchased the Rockler Dust Collector...
I purchased the Rockler Dust Collector packaged with the Dovetail Jig, and it does substantially help keep the mess down. I’m assuming it was engineered after the jig itself as an add-on because it does really make set-up substantially more complicated. As others have noted, it gets in the way of adjusting the front screw of the “L” shaped adjustable stops, and as it is you have to unscrew and remove the Clamp Bar to be able to set up your project. I’m wondering if drilling a small slot in the back plastic wall at the level of the front set screws would interfere with the clamping function. I will try fix of using a hex head 10-24 screw with a thin open end wrench first though that’s just one more tool to get out.

As intended, the dust collector did...
As intended, the dust collector did it's job very well, significantly reducing the dust and clean-up when routng dovetails on my Rockler Docetail Jig. I did have two problems, one was annoying, the other quite troublesome. The first problem was the sliding plastic air dam - the inside track popped out the very first time I tightened the front channel - I will re-glue and try again on my next project. The second problem was that once the collector is in place, as others have noted, you can not access the front screw on the stop guides without backing off or and almost removing the collector. My first solution was a 90 degree screwdriver, which allowed me to keep the collector installed, but still had to back off quite a bit to reach. My second solution was to replace the phillips head screw with a hex head 10-24 screw so I can use a thin open end wrench to make the adjustments.

I have to agree with  the...
I have to agree with  the reviewers before me, who had given a not so good review to this product on the base of its poor design. Do not get me wrong, I love the idea of not having to deal with the chips and sawdust in my shop, but you are basically trading off the time you save cleaning up after the mess for the time you waste with the installation of the dust collector. Because you have to install it again and again every time you switch your project. Basically, the body of the collector gets in the way when you need to adjust the L-shaped stops. As somebody mentioned, I thought about routing a small slot in the body of the dust collector to be able to pass the screwdriver, but then again, while the L-shaped stops move horizontally, the brush part of the dust collector moves vertically, so I do not know if this would really work. Besides the fact that you are adding holes to a place where you want to create some aspiration from the vacuum and that the slots will degrade the already weak construction of the collector itself. I appreciate the idea provided by some reviewers of using hexagonal-shaped screws so that you can use a wrench that you can introduce laterally to the adjusting screws rather than a screwdriver, which you need to use from the front. I tried to use a right angle screwdriver, but, first, you have to almost remove completely the dust collector anyway, and it makes the process difficult and you might end up damaging the screw. In a device where you will having to adjust, and release these screws in the L-Shaped stops every time you do a setup it would be not a good idea to damage them but using a tool which is the one not better designed for the job. In summary, the device is excellent for removing the dust, it is poorly designed, and its construction would have benefited from sturdier materials. I am disappointed. have to disagree with all the customers that gave 4 and 5 star ratings on this item.

Great idea and functionality. However, unless it is re-designed to be either easy to remove, or easier to work around to set up the jig, I probably won't be using it much.
March 2, 2012
poor design
The jig is great but if the dust collector is installed you can't get to the screws to adjust the jig stops. Unless you are only going to set the stops for one size and leave it, the dust collector is more trouble than it's worth.

Dust collector
The dust collector works very well. A little awkward to get the side piece in between the collector and the jig but the result is excellent.
