Tony,
Why are you selling it? I am considering it, but have a lot of reservations about it. First being cost, second being safety since every video I see on how to use it has you pushing it into the router bit which means it is difficult to see what you are doing when routing. Which is never a good thing in my opinion.
Just curious.

As I said in the power tool forum, I recieved it as a gift. I've been cutting dovetails by hand for years and am not really a power tool woodworker!

Let me sweeten the offer: I'll include shipping at my $275.00 price.

Dan - I have this jig and really like it. I was an early adopter. I especially like the quick setup and small footprint of this jig. I purposely made my router table tall that works well for me except when this jig. Found I had to get close and peek over the jig to see the cut. What I did was place a 5x7 camping mirror on my on top of my router fence. I have a Woodpeck SuperFence with a t-track on the top. The frame of the mirror fit well in this track. Problem solved!

Hey Tony, is this item still available? Thank you, JMO
RE: Leigh RTJ400 dovetail jig - Tony Z - 03-29-2020
Still have it, never used it! Bought it, after reading a Woodsmith article about it. If interested, I'll include shipping (heavy!) and put the Woodsmith magazine, with the article, in the box.
I have to remove the offer of including the Woodsmith magazine, as I am unable to locate that copy!

TonyZ: could you post the Woodsmith issue number about this jig? Thanks.

Soon as I find why I put the magazine for safe keeping!
Did not find the copy of the magazine, but I did find a Woodsmith index! The article was in Issue 218, April of 2015.
Jig is still here, never used!
RE: Leigh RTJ400 dovetail jig - Ray Newman - 03-30-2020
Tony Z: thanks. Will look for it. Again thanks!
