I was nervous purchasing this jig after reading the reviews. All the comments about impossible setup, and cheap design had me apprised. Alas, all the worry was for nothing. Jig came on time, and in good shape. After 10 minutes reading the directions, and 12 minutes on YouTube, I tore into the box. Another 10 minutes to assemble and setup and I was ready to cut my first dovetails. Going to try my first mini dovetail jewelry box today.Update: this jig is amazing!

Reviewed in Canada on January 18, 2023
J'avais des doutes car la toupie DWP611 n'est pas de grosseur standard mais le kit fait parfaitement avec l'accessoire Base Plongeante (DNP612).

Pas encore utilisé donc je pourrais revoir mon évaluation plus tard.
