This review is from: Porter-Cable 5116 Omnijig 16-Inch Dovetail Machine (Tools & Home Improvement)

I watched the video, went to my shop, set up my Dovertail machine and the only setting i had to change that the video suggested was the depth of the dovetail bit. The precision was incredible, and best yet repeatable! I love this machine, my wife just got me the variable spaced template (more on that later)!
