Has anyone tried the new porter-cable 77240. I have the old 24″ 7116. It has served me well for half blinds but is a pain to change over. I plan to upgrade but cant make up my mind between the PC an the Leigh. Also any imfo. on the Katie jig would be appreciated.

I do not know about the others you mentioned. I have some other 'older' dovetail jigs that 'sort of work'. However, I do have the Leigh D4R (24 inch?)
Anyway, it WORKS. A bit expensive but I would buy it again if I had to.

I bought the Keller outfit and it is much better than the porta cable. Rickk
I don't recall the Keller doing half blind dovetails. I suppose you could use it to cut the tails, but you would have to layout and cut the pins by hand.
Yea,it can't do half blind which is too bad,cause it produces great through ones. Later rickk
