KatieJig System - "It makes great dovetails and box joints."
 |
How many times have you heard of something being "easy-to-use" only to find out that it's difficult and the instructions don't help.Well, the Katie Jig is as simple and easy as advertised. This is excellent news for something that gives you such great results — variable spaced dovetails.Our camera followed my using the KatieJig the first time out of the box.. |
I found the instructions very easy to use with great simplified illustrations to make everything easy to visualize. You can download a copy of these instructions. A note will tell you how at the end of this site. |

The literature says that the KatieJig can make through dovetail joints on boards up to 12-inches wide. After a little use of the system, I found an easy method to make perfect dovetails any width—I will share that with you in later on. |
So watch while I make my first KatieJig dovetailed box. I first unpack things and check all the items against the list supplied. I couldn't help but notice the quality millings of the fingers and the heavy extrusions. That's a good sign. |
