Leigh RTJ400 Router Table Dovetail Jig
Description
Router tables are exceedingly popular and can be found in most shops. The Leigh RTJ400 is designed specifically for router table use, providing fast and accurate routing of through dovetails, box joints and half-blind dovetails, all on your router table. The Leigh RTJ400 Template is precision CNC machined from aircraft grade aluminum for perfect joinery every time.
Versatility is a key feature of the Leigh 16"(400mm) RTJ400 Jig. It makes 5 sizes of through dovetails at two different pitches, 3 sizes of single pass half-blind dovetails, and 4 sizes of box joints (finger joints). Perfect joint fit is guaranteed and repeatable with the patented Leigh elliptical guide bushing.

IMPORTANT Router Table Requirements
Router tables are not commonly used with guide bushings because either a bearing or fence is used. The Leigh eBush system is designed aroun the decades-old Porter Cable/Black & Decker industry standard. Therefore, you will probably need to adapt your router table or insert plate to accept a Leigh eBush.
