🔧 Keller Dovetail System 135-1500: The Ultimate Journeyman Dovetail Jig Review

Carving a dovetail by hand, even with a template, takes too much time for me. Finding all this material is a piece of cake. This mount works great on my router table and the included bits cut perfectly in the walnut, maple and cherry tested so far. I think it's a little expensive for 2 nozzles and a plastic nozzle, but it's hard to appreciate such convenience. I'm glad I bought it.

Bought mine from Revain. For 1500 you need to create a fence board and attach it to a jig. Once I did that I started making test cuts on the pine board scraps. My first joints were successful.

Easily adapts to innovative distances…
