Quality item

Very well made. Excellent instruction manual. Comes with two jigs, one of which is "concealed" in the packaging, so try not to throw it out with the packaging.

Porter cable dovetail router

The Porter Cable Dovetail router jig is extremely well made and appears rather easy to use once you learn how to use it. There are written instruction but I learn best either by hands-on or via seeing a CD showing its usage and setup. I found no CD available anywhere and while I have had the unit for a month have yet to learn to use it. I would hope Porter-Cable would make an instructional CD available.

Supplementary Instruction Manual

If you buy this jig, you have to download the Supplementary Instruction Manual. There are lots of ways to use this jig that are not listed in the basic manual. Also page 14 lists all the alternative router bits you can use with it.

Great Product

I've used other dovetail templates; this has got to be the best so far. The alignment out of the box was almost perfect. I found the instruction adequate for what I needed to know. In fact I refer back to the manual and websites constantly. If you want to expand to dovetails, go for the metal templates like this one. It's well worth the cost compared to the cheap plastic ones that flex and move regularly.

overall great product, but needs better instructions

I am a first time dove tail jig user but the recommendations on this product were very high. I found that once you figure out exactly how to work this product the process goes quite well. The out of the box instructions were missing important details (clearer explanations) on setup and going online to the manufacturer really didn't help either, specifically in the area of router bit depth setting. Trial and error ultimately got me my setup and now I can breeze through a setup. Overall I am happy with the product.

The Porter-Cable 4212 dovetail jig is solid, durable and user-friendly with the ability to cut through dovetails, box joints, half-blind dovetails, rabbeted half-blind dovetails, and dovetail dados. Built with a thick steel base and CNC machined aluminum templates, the 4212 performs with the consistent accuracy you expect from Porter-Cable. The jig comes fully assembled and includes two carbide-tipped bits, two template guides, two lock nuts, and a user guide.
