[Woodworkers] Microjig

[Dave Heitstuman]

I have pondered buying one off and on for years.  But every time I look at it to buy it I talk myself out of it because of the cost after you add some (not all) of the bells and whistles.  In the big scheme I don't think a guy can get away with just the base model you need at least some of the extras.  A couple of years ago I think it was Peachtree Woodworking had a 50% off or a BOGO sale and it had a picture of the gripper complete (all the bells and whistles).  I'm thinking I can buy that and give the one I got for half off to a fellow woodworker for Christmas.  That was until I read the fine print.  The deal wasn't on the whole kit it was only on the bells and whistles or just the gripper, in the end it was $200.00 (?) for the pair of them.  It wasn't worth it to me.

I believe Woodcraft carries them and Woodcraft does have a store in Spokane if you have a desire call and see if they have one to fondle before you drive over.  I don't think Power Tool (Cd'A or Spokane) carries them but they might????

Does anyone have experience with the Microjig (www.microjig.com<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.microjig.com&c=E,1,XAXplRienc1k_4ASoxGeCHCpb5xvR5yu4sAnd7P9KH7FpDsfLqEY72C7hh3o1JlbdmcbduMs48vNH-E7NXuP2jpz7BWSBwEPI4mv3bxJIexXoQPRqAU9&typo=1>)? It looks good on the computer but I haven't seen them in a shop. And we don't have jack -sh*t foe woodworking stores in Missoula. I'd have to go over to Coeur d'alene or Spokane to see it. It'd be nice not to have T-track but does the dovetail cut last after some use?

Doh, a beer I want a beer
Ray, the guy who buys me beer
Me, the guy whom Ray buys beer
Fa, a long way to go for beer
So, I think I'll have a beer
La, La la la la la la
Ti, no thanks I'll have a beer
And that will bring us back to Doh! Doh! Doh!
