Hi all,
I think it's about time to upgrade my old Woodhaven dovetail jig to something better and more versatile.
The RTJ caught my eye.
I prefer routing on the router table whenever possible, so it seems like a good fit for me.
I've watched the videos on it and read some reviews. I know it's limited to 16" and fixed spacing. I don't see that as a problem. It fits within my normal work envelope.
I know it's kind of pricey, but it seems like a buy it once and never need to replace it kind of tool.
I have a couple of questions I hope maybe you can answer for me.
It says you need a router plate with the spacer for the guide bushing, but will it work with a router lift? I have the Woodpecker PRL with the correct spacer.
Are there any downsides to this I'm not seeing?
Has anyone had a bad experience with one of these? you know, one of those " this isn't as good as I thought it was going to be" moments.
Is there something else maybe I should be looking at?
thanks for your time and input
Jim
