Through Dovetails on the Leigh D4R Pro

 

It is no secret I like working with high quality jigs to make joinery. In the shop I have the Leigh D4R Pro, the older D4, and more recently I have been using the new R9Plus.

More than a few readers have written to me asking whether buying the R9Plus would mean giving up much capability, in exchange for a lower price. My reply is always that we never have easy compromises; yes, we do give up flexibility in joint design. For example, the D4R Pro gives just about everything we want in a dovetail and finger joint jig. You can read all about the D4R Pro features here.

I received the latest video on the flagship D4R Pro from Leigh:

 

 

This is perfect timing, because Leigh is offering FREE shipping during the holidays, on ANY order over $50. This alone will save you a chunk of change.

Disclosure: Leigh sends me equipment and accessories from time to time, for testing and evaluation purposes. I am not paid by Leigh for publishing about their products on my blog; and I am not paid for through clicks to the Leigh web site, so please feel to click on the banner at the top of the page, to visit the Leigh holiday Gift Guide page.

All holidays wrapped into one at Leigh

 

I chuckled — Leigh says “We’ve got an app for that!”:

 

And why not? I bought a new smart phone (only) a few months ago, and finally learned about apps. Now even my granddaughters know that I know what an app is.

Leigh has it all set up for YOUR holidays – get YOUR app, and be happy. You will be doing joinery in your shop in no time!!!  How? Simply click on this link to go get your app.

New video about a new joinery system

 

I received an e-mail from Leigh, letting me know about a new video just posted on YouTube. The video is about their new R9Plus joinery jig, and was produced to show in a few minutes what it is capable of doing.

I have been posting about this new jig; but the new video does a wonderful job showing it in the context of a 30-year historical perspective. It is amazing to me how much joinery systems have evolved, and how this manufacturer has managed to create a new jig loaded with features, at a great price point.

Enjoy the video!

I have set up the R9Plus to machine dovetails and finger joints at the router table. Stay tuned for more!
