They have about three models which include the 4210, the 4212, and the 4216 model. All three Porter cable jigs are 12 inch wide and thus will not accommodate projects larger than 12 inches. This particular model is the 4210 model and it includes the 4211 template that allows you to cut half blind, rabbit half blind, and even sliding dovetails. The machine aluminum template ensures maximum accuracy when using the jig.

With it, you can work on stocks from 716 cinch to 1 inch thickness, and you can cut different types of dovetails with it. There are a few templates you can use with it that allow you to cut but half blind, through dovetails and box joints, but the standard template that comes with it when you purchase it allows you to cut only half an inch half blind joints. Number 3. Keller dovetail system. Whether you're a beginner woodworker, a hobbyist, or a veteran in the trade, the Keller dovetail system is one tool I've found that is very easy to learn and master. This particular model is a 15 inch precision mill jig slash template that allows you to cut different types of dovetails and box joints on stocks, from 1-8 to 3-quarters inches in thickness. Although it's a 15 inch template, when you master how to use it, you'll be able to cut tails and pins on different lengths and widths of wood. It allows you to cut classic, acute, obtuse, variable spaced, compound angled and even curved dovetails, including box and knuckle joints. You can definitely buy and use any other jig, no matter your level of expertise, as long as you have the right tools. But if I'm a beginner woodworker and I want an affordable jig that's easy to master, this Keller system is probably the first one I'll go for. Number 2. Porter cable 42-16 Super jig.

Just like the Porter cable 42-10, this 42-16 model also features template alignment lines and depth gauges that allows you to quickly set up the template and the jig.
