Guides you through all the Dovetail Steps with ease and accuracy, while cutting the learning curve substantially. The Katz-Moses Magnetic Dovetail jig is made in a mold from a virtually indestructible clear polyurethane for years of use. This is the same material used to make pool balls so you know how strong the jig is. It is then laser etched on the top and bottom for clean and easy to read labeling. The magnets have 10 lbs of pulling pressure to hold your saw firm to the jig. It also functions as a 90 degree crosscut guide which is a unique feature to the Katz-Moses Magnetic Dovetail Jig.
Check out these videos where I use it to make all sorts of cool dovetails :

United StatesWorks great. I've cut dovetails by hand for well over 40 years, and with arthritis really doing a number on my hands now, this is a godsend! Little slippery to hold immobile while sawing though. I plan to adhere some fine grit wet or dry paper to it to make it less so. Great tool!
United StatesThis jig has made it easy for anyone to do dovetail joints. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to improve their dovetail cuts.
United StatesQuite good. I learned about guides from David Barron videos. Barron’s guides are okay (I have three—the 1:4, 1:6 and 90) but a magnet fell out of the 1:6. Glued back in place it is no longer flat. The magnet juts out a hair. So I ordered the KM guide as well as a Hongdui guide. The latter has a clever built-in clamp that I like. But it is too tall so I can’t use a Cosman dovetail saw except to start the cut. With the slot perhaps 2-3 mm deep and angled on the tailboard, I switch to the KM guide and complete the cut. With the pinboard I don’t use a guide. Suggestions: 1. A second surface on the KM guide at 10 degrees (1:6). My drawer fronts have a single non-90 degree angle side so it is challenging to use the single 10 degree face due to the asymmetry. 2. The KM guide is slippery and hard to hold in place. 3. I love the clamp on the Hongdui guide. In the best of all possible worlds, I would throw all these guides away and make dovetails like the pros. But I am a hobbyist and I don’t have sufficient time left to practice. BTW, I am finding the KM router plane very useful. Beautiful instrument.
United StatesBeen slowly gathering the tools to start my dovetail journey. Waiting on a marking gauge and calipers and then I'll be ready. The tool looks and feels good (a little oily, but I cleaned that off). Looking forward to my first attempts.
CanadaWorks exactly how you would expect it too. Feels good in the hand and looks like something that will last forever.
