hi iue just got a new trend douetail centre has anyone got one and tried it out is it hard to use

Although I haven't got the Trend one I do own a similar one sold by Axminster and it does work well enough but takes a long time to set up. Once set it gives good results each time. Ideally you could do with a router set up with the cutter already in so it isn't disturbed to save time. I now use one of the Rutland ones which is just a template that you mount onto a MDF former and use two cutters to produce through dovetails, much quicker and more accurate in my opinion. Hope this helps.

which model dovetailer jig have you got i have the CDJ300 and have used it with no trouble at all as you can see in this photo

hi derek iue got the dc 4oo iue had it 2years but not had the time so now its time to get working
