I can’t say for certain yet but it looks like Leigh Jigs may have come up with a Gifkins buster.
Today is only Boxing day but when I was presented with this jig for Xmas I was extremely pleased
although I must admit that I was not necessarily surprised as Chris had asked me what I wanted the
fat guy to bring I pointed this out & she sent me off to Carba tec to buy it.
I have been wanting a Gifkins Finger Joint Jig for some time now but I have been put off by the price
and to a lesser extent the limitations of the Jigs available. This Leigh jig does both Dovetail and
Finger joints in a number of different sizes and pitches. it can also be used as a bench jig or a router
table jig.
Rather than having to explain, I will simply say that if you more info on this item go to:
(The price is right too!)

Mike John has just sent me this webaddress (http://www.microjig.com/) and suggested that I have
a look at it. I have done so and while I admit that I have been aware of this Microjig product for a
while now I am very impressed with the setout and content of the Microjig site. The videos and
explanations are first class and demonstrate one of the best safety appliances available for
use with the table saw. I always think back to a tagline that I saw on the Woodworkers
Forum when referring to a table saw blade ........... “Anything with teeth that big must eat
meat!” This product seems to cover that problem quite well and also seems to be a great hold
down tool for accurate cuts. Click on the image at left for more on the device or click on the image at
right to go to the Australian supplier.
