Rockler seems to have alot of great woodworking products. I have never used any of them yet though. Was thinking of purchasing the Rockler cookies for about $12.00 for 4 of them. I live about 80 miles from the nearest Rockler store in Milwaukee, WI. and can't justify driving 160 miles to get them. If I were to order them on-line, the shipping cost is almost as much as the cookies themselves. Does anyone know if there is an outlet that carries Rockler products? Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi Ron,
Sign up on the internet for a Rockler catalog and email sales. Sometimes they offer free shipping specials or 20% off of a single item. Also, Amazon sometimes offer free shipping on orders over $25. I get these specials each month and got some good deals.
I own the Rockler Cookies and just started to use them. They have been very useful in the shop. Before the cookies, I've used the foam padding that they use under carpeting. A trick I've seen a long time ago.

A word of caution. With this jig ( actually all jigs) you must make sure you bit is centered. It requires a special bit guide from the manufacturer. I had a jig like this and did not know that you can not twist, turn or rotate the router while making the cut. I would move the router with a slight turning motion due to the reach. My router was not centered since I did not know about that. The width of the dado was not equal or even. I just presumed that the bit was in the center and I was completely unaware that it is not. I was making cuts along the straight edge and still coming out crooked. Then I learned that the base plate and the bit must be centered to each other. At first I thought it was just the router, but both my Bosch and Triton routers are the same problem. The Bosch plunge has one flat side which helps a bit. The centering bit and tool is worth the investment. IMO.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
