ChestMate Dovetail Jig & Accessories

The most important part of my job is assuring the ChestMate Dovetail Jigs sold from this site are as perfect
as they can be. I strive for feedback in the form of questions during use and not about the product not being
up to par. As the images help convey, this versatile dovetail jig comes with inserts for two dovetail sizes, a
precision box joint accessory, two random box joint accessories, and a mortising/doweling accessory.

Greetings,
Twenty years from now there may be available an affordable personal CNC machine that
can easily and quickly provide any dovetail pattern on any size board desired.
Until then the most cost effective and easiest way to do the same is with the ChestMate.
Thank you for visiting.
