The Leigh D4R - Still the Best
The D4R is undoubtedly the most versatile dovetail jig on the market today. No other jig offers the incredible range of joinery options right out of the box and no other jig offers the amazing range of optional templates and attachments. With the D4R, professional joinery is within easy reach of the beginner and journeyman alike.
Jig Body and Sidestops
A rugged one-piece aluminum extrusion (CNC machined on top and front) is the base of the D4R. Sidestops, against which all boards are placed, are machined right from the jig body ensuring precise joint alignment every time. The top sidestops are undercut to allow easy routing of rabbeted drawer fronts without the need to offset the matching tail board.
Speed Clamps and Clamp Bars
Boards are held securely against the machined non-slip textured clamping surface by tough, fast acting cam-action speed clamps and aluminum clamp bars.
Guide Finger Assembly and Scales
The heart of the D4R is the infinitely adjustable guide finger assembly. The pins and tails of each joint can be arranged to give that elegant hand cut look, not possible with template jigs. You are always assured of a half pin at each edge of the joint regardless of board width. The finger assembly is easily adjusted using the precise easy-to-read scales at each end.
Router Bits and Template Guides
Leigh Dovetail Jigs are shipped with three superior strength 8mm shank router bits. Additional bits are available to suit any joint, large or small. See the Bit Selection Chart for complete router bit information. A router with a 1/2" or 8mm collet is required for use with the included 8mm shank bits. One 1/2" to 8mm collet reducer is included as standard equipment.
The D4R works with any router you own, and and requires just two sizes of template guides, 7/16" (included) and 5/8". Leigh has a comprehensive set of template guide adaptors for most major router brands. Please refer to the Template Guide Chart for information on your router.
More Joinery Options
Five optional templates expand the D4Rs capabilities to include finger joints with the F2 Template, Isoloc joints with three Isoloc Templates (six patterns) and multiple mortise and tenon joints with the M2 Attachment. No other dovetail jig does so much, so easily and so well.
