   You might check the archives; there have been several threads on commercial jigs. I haven't seen anything on shop made dovetail jigs.

   I THINK that Shop Notes had an article on a shop made jig that was similar to the leigh.  I have heard good reports on the keller.

   1 - measure the board twice, 2 - cut it once, 3 - measure the space where it is supposed to go        4 - get a new board and go back to step 1

   I got the Porter Cable 4212 for Christmas and tried it one time so far. It took a little time to set up but the actual routing was quick and extremely easy. The guide collars make it so that you can't mess up and rout into the wood where you shouldn't.
   I recommend it.

   I have the Rockler jig and use it on occasion. It's not too bad and quite good for its price.

   If I could afford it, I would love to have the new wide Leigh jig. I don't recall its model number off hand.
