    Comments about Leigh D4R-PRO With Accessory Kit :

    Well, you get what you pay for. Pricey, yes, but well worth the money. The jig was easy to set up with excellent instructions and DVD. I didn't have any problems building the test box at all and have jumped into making drawers for a rolling storage chest for the shop. If you've never used a dovetail jig, I would expect there the be a bit of a learning curve only with learning how it all fits, but the instructions with the D4R are excellent and will get you through it. The unit itself, however, is incredibly easy to use. The dust collection system works great with a shop vac. It picks up about 95% of the waste. Very pleased. I will definitely be purchasing the box joint jig for my D4R. An excellent selection of bits comes with the accessory kit; very high quality. I highly recommend the Leigh D4R. You will be glad you bought it.

    Comments about Leigh D4R-PRO With Accessory Kit :

    Jig is well built and pretty easy to set up. There is a learning curve for sure, it will take a few projects to learn how to dial it in just right but well worth it. Start with some scrap wood and the number 8 bit, the manual is very helpful I read it before I even put the jig together which was very helpful

    Comments about Leigh D4R-PRO With Accessory Kit :

    I bought the D4R after having a really bad experience with it's competition. So far I've only made 5 drawers each with half blind and through dovetails. So far I've found the D4R fairly easy to learn although I haven't used all of it's capabilities yet. It's light weight and easy to move around the shop which is important for a jig this big. The only complaint I can give at this time is the dust port on the dust collection attachment could be better. The small adapter connects to a small hose but tends to clog up. I'm using a dust collector to provide the suction, if I were using a shop vac. it might not be a problem.

    Comments about Leigh D4R-PRO With Accessory Kit :

    The D4R is a remarkable joinery machine. Once you traverse the steep learning curve it's results are unparalleled. Don't let the promo videos fool you though - it takes some time to get proficient with the unit, and it is not quite as easy as the videos make it look. If you are willing to take the time to learn this machine, and don't mind sacrificing 'scrap' for test cuts, it's a great machine.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Leigh D4R-PRO With Accessory Kit :

    After comparing the D4R to the competition, I bit the bullet. I read where the Leigh jig was hard to set up, hard to adjust and hard to fine tune. I was pleased to discover this was not the case. The D4R is also lean, without all the adjusting screws and depth gauges that make some of the other dovetail jigs look overwhelming. Using the adjustable guide fingers helps me visualize what the finished pins and tails will look like and spaced. The dust collector and support keep things clean and the router level. This was a good decision and I look forward to using the D4R on many projects. [...]

    Excellent dovetail jig, very flexible, learning curve is relatively short but expect a practice period before using on a project. The Vacuum & Router Support does a good job of collecting the dust and providing support. Very pleased with the purchase

    Comments about Leigh D4R-PRO With Accessory Kit :

    Leigh produces absolutely marvelously designed machinery. The range of easy to use adjustments are wonderful. Once setup properly, dovetails are a snap. The dust collector/router support do an amazing job of reducing shavings. Once I start using my Porter Cable 890 (presently using my Bosch) with the dust collection handle I suspect there will be few if any escapees from my vac system. I also own the FMT mortising jig and love it!!
