            Worked for me
            I've been a carpenter my whole life. I have never needed a dovetail jig. I bought this knowing it was an entry level jig. I've used it to make box joints for bee hives. It works fine for that. I surely wouldn't use it to make fine furniture or cabinets though.

            Dovetails Made Easy
            The General EZPro Aluminum Dovetail jig is an inexpensive yet extremely useful tool. Woodworkers who are looking for an easy and reliable way to create half or full dovetail joins should look no further than the heavy duty General Dovetail jig. The EZPro is made of heavy aluminum and requires the use of a router. The dovetail jig can be used alone with a router or with a router table. The General EZPro comes with an easy to understand manual and with a dovetail rounter bit. The jig accommodates from 1/2 inch up to 1 inch thick stock.

            Easy to use and produces a great final product
            Great tool, just getting into woodworking and used it to build some custom drawers. Easy to use and made very short work of the project once I got the hang of it.

            This device did not have detailed instructions. What it showed was inconclusive and vague. There was no way to make dovetail joints that were accurate for the drawer that I wanted to use it for.

            It's a great system, but I wish it could fit thicker material. I should've bought a different style. I wasn't able to use it on the project that i was originally intending it for, but it worked great on another small project that had.
            It's a great system, but limited to thickness of material.
