Kreg Owners' Community

I know this is the KREG forum, and I use mine all the time, BUT, I am trying to do some dovetail drawers for the first time and I broke my own cardinal rule by purchasing a cheapo 1/2 blind dovetail jig (Craftex) and I just can't seem to get the set-up right.  The pins still need a little hand work every time and I have tried every different suggestion that the mostly useless manual provides. No matter what I try, the pins are always a little to proud.   At this point, I am almost out of scrap lumber (and patience) to continue. 

Does anyone have any thoughts on a good dovetail jig to buy that isn't in the price range of Leigh or AKEDA?

I purchased the rockler dovetail jig and after about 3 tries I was satisfied with the half blind joints that I made I also bought the box joint jig that rockler sells and for making drawers I prefer the box joint jig but it is always nice to have both options availible to you

New Kreg 720Pro

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…
