Does what it is supposed to
Worked as advertized. Have only used a few times but like it. Lots of flexibility to do larger pieces and different patterns and sizes of dovetails

Template Works So Well I Bought More as Gifts
This jig is simply amazing at removing the complexity (and errors) in making dovetail joints. I would suggest getting the template 'kit' that comes with the bits and the dvd but the bits shouldn't be too hard to source elsewhere on Amazon.As to the complexity of making the main jig as described in the DVD? Its not that difficult but its also entirely not necessary. The DVD also shows making a jig using the template you're purchasing here and three pieces of MDF or plywood sandwiched together... this secondary jig is under $5 to make and allows you to use the template with a router and four clamps.This jig worked so well that I went out and bought the last couple from my local Woodcraft to give as gifts because its well worth the money to anyone that's tried to handcut dovetails because they weren't ready to spend $150+ on some other jigs.

A Piece of Garbage
I wanted a jig that I could use for large pieces (e.g. blanket chest).An additional comment: the router bits that are included in the kit have some faults.1. They are 1/4" shank only. I much prefer 1/2" since due to the larger shank do not need to rotate as fast to cut.2. The cutting edges are not sharp as they should be. This leads to burning of the MDF.3. When I cut the jigs with the included pattern bit, the ring holding the bearing in place lost its set screw thus allowing the bearing to move vertically while cutting.Do not bother. I ended up hand cutting the dovetails for the blanket chest and, sorry to beat my chest, but they turned out perfectly. Yes, it was a lot of work and extended the project time, but it was worth it. Photos of the blanket chest is attached if anyone is interested.For drawers I purchased a solid Porter Cable dovetail template system. This has turned out to be an excellent investment
