🔧 Keller 135-2200 Journeyman Dovetail Jig Template - Advanced Dovetail Joinery System Review

Care and correct spacing are required when assembling the unit. When done correctly, pins and tails come off very easily.

It's quite expensive to make dovetail joints, but it really works and you can get very good joints with it. I don't care about the price because this item is strong enough, it will probably last forever, but it might be too expensive.

Easy to use but too expensive because of the molded plastic. The instruction manual is not good, just go to youtube and find instructions there. I can live with all of the above, except that with freehand milling it's easy to put a notch in the plastic (for very long panels that you can't attach to an edge to use a router table). There are others cheaper with the same design and probably the same flaws, my next one will be a different brand because this one won't last a lifetime.

This is a fairly easy system to use but will take some practice to get it working properly. The 1/4" bits that are compatible with the 2200 are #2243 and #2233, not #1633 and #1643, which are paired with the 2200 on Revain - as stated. Revain does not seem to find any suitable ones smaller dovetail bits for sale for the 2200 system.I have tested 1643 and 1633 bits only to find the stock is significantly smaller than the larger bits making them useless for this system.Returning to Revane.

The Keller 2200 has been around for quite some time. Long enough to write an instruction manual. This mount is nothing more than a large piece of plastic and some cheap cutters. It costs around $75 to $100, if that. Of course I knew that when I bought it. What really annoys me is that the instructions are completely useless. I could write the best guide in a day. Not only is it useless, but it's not for the 2200 either. There is a label on the front page identifying the models the manual was…

I bought this light recently based on years of experience with less than 1500. There are other lights that use the same principle but at an additional cost. Keller has its justification for two reasons: first, the bits are slightly better quality in my opinion, and the appearance of connections with a greater contrast between shank and pin size is more attractive and closer to handwork. looks like. The larger MLCS template offers a similar connection with the same ease for about a third of the…
