Latest Update: All of the jigs except the Porter-Cable Dovetail jig are sold and gone. I found all the original parts for the Porter Cable (other than the English manual) and will sell it for the best offer I can get. If you represent a school or club that could use it I would donate it for free.
------------------------------------------------------------
I have 4 rather large jigs I just don't use. I found my motor skills were so-so and ended up about 10 years ago getting a CNC so these have all sat here collecting dust. As far as I know they are all immaculate and I'm the original owner.
1. Delta Tenoning Jig 1345985 - this is for use on a table saw and it's quite a hunk of steel. I think I used it only a few times before getting the FMT (below). The new delta jig isn't the same imho and retails for $150. One of these in so-so shape sold used on ebay for $70. Asking $50.
2. Porter-Cable 16" Dovetail Jig - Omnijig 55160 (dated 2008). I have the original template and I think not much else. This worked quite well for making uniform dovetails. It cost originally about $400 I think. Asking $200.
3. Incra-Jig Ultra - this is a beast of a jig and the most precise fence ever - but it's physically large. I've included a photo of a desk pedestal dovetail (my current office desk) I made with it. No longer available I have no idea what it cost but I think well over $300 new. I'm asking $125.
4. Leigh FMT Pro jig. This is as far as I can tell identical to the current FMT pro other than where the name is. I could be wrong. This worked flawlessly for me and makes great mortise/tenon pairs. Current retail is $1199. I think I paid half that and am asking $350. I have all the original equipment but have used the awesome clamps elsewhere and may be minus a washer or so.
I'm open to offers on any of this stuff, especially if you're a minor.
