   If you don't already own one, you might consider opening  the question to include the WoodRat.  I don't own either but if I were in the market I would want to compare these two products.

   I was looking at the Woodrat owners manual.  There seemed to be an awfull lot of steps that require eye balling alignment of the pieces for cuts.  In it's favor it does a wider range of joints such as dovetails, but then again I have a Leigh for that allready.

   The learning curve isn't bad at all and the best price I found when I bought mine was through Lee Valley. I had been using a hollow chisel mortiser and a tenoning jig on my table saw for my M & T joints and there was always a lot of fine tuning of the joints for a good fit. The tuning of the FMT can be done by the brain dead and your work goes much faster.

   That was the impression I got.  Looks like a nice product.
