Ok, I have seen dovetail jigs with the fingers and from what I know they work. But I find this hard to believe. What am I missing?
Incra Jig LSRS "This system does it all, dovetails, box joints, raised panel doors, molding, shaping......"
Ok, I am up for an explanation. Or is this creative marketing?

if you were closer I would bring mine by and let you test drive it for a couple weeks. It is a good system, I purchased the Intellie fence for mine and the centering jig. They help with the set up time. you wont be dissapointed with it. God bless.

I hadn't heard of the centering jig until you mentioned it ... but, wow, that sounds nice in concept. Does it work? Do you have the old-style or new-style incra system?
Is this the centering jig? How does it work?  | |

The Incra Jig is actually a copy of the Jointech JCM-1832 cabinetmakers fence system, which I've had for nearly 10 years. (see CabinetMaker's Systems). It includes a center-finder built-in and is a very precise tool (the stainless steel leadscrew allows fine adjustments to .001"). Both jigs work with templates that fit into the movable part of the fence mechanism and one positions the fence for each cut to be made. They are expensive, but they are very accurate and can produce many types of decorative (and standard) joints. I have mine on a dedicated router table. They also make models that will fit on tablesaws and provide precise fence positioning for both sawcuts and a router built into the extension wing.

Jeremy,
If you would like I could send it to you so you could try it out. There is also a scale that you slid in one of the empty scale slots. You then determine the width of your board and then set the scale to zero. I have had my incra jig for over 8 yeats now. I purchased the origonal incra jig ultra 24in. and when the Intelli fence came out I purchased that, it is discontinued now. They sale the Wonderfence in its replacement. This is what I have. It works well for raised panels too.

I bought the Incra jig a number of yrs. ago and have loved it. I doa lot of furniture restoration and if you have to remake an old dovetail to match the existing ones the Incra can't be beat. My only regret is that I got the 12" rather than the 24". This jig can do a lot more than I generally use if for, just haven't had the time to play with it more.
