    Prazi Chestmate dovetail jig - closeout at HF

    I wasn't even aware the Harbor Freight handled the chestmate jig, nor was I looking to buy one but I found them on close out at the Springdale Ark HF this weekend for $14.95. So for that price one followed me home. They had at least 2 more when I left. Not sure if this is nation wide or not but if you're in the market it might be worth checking out.

    Thanks

    Picked one of these up in the Orem HF after seeing the post. 14.86 plus tax. Both SLC stores had 0, Ogden claimed 1, still 5 left at Orem on Wednesday evening after I got mine.

            watched the video on how to use it. Pretty cool. Seems like a pretty involved and cumbersome setup every time you want to use it though. Might be worth the time for a $15 reliable jig though.

              It appears the Prazi jig is not available online from HF

                I picked up a couple of these for the same price in the St. Louis store last Thursday. I left a few there for others to find.
                I don't have the part number handy, but they were stashed beneath one of the tables holding power tools across from the router and drill bits.

                  No luck in Charlotte. They must only be in a few stores.

                    Denver North location had some and when asked, they were sure they would be getting more in next week. If anybody is interested I'd do it for a fiver + shipping. I can take picks also.

                      What store did you find the jigs.
                      I checked St. Peters and they did not know what I was talking about.
                      Thanks

                              I spied the last one at my local HF yesterday and went back for it today because my wife mentioned a project that it could be useful for.

                              It was incorrectly placed on a shelf, and I brought it up to the register along with a 20% discount coupon, and asked the clerk to find out the price. I mentioned that it was no longer on the web site, and was discontinued.

                              I figured, if it was cheap enough, I'd take it home and play with it (I already have other dovetail jigs, but this one will do dowels, mortices, etc.). If not, no big deal.

                              When she scanned it, it came up $5.97 plus 42 cents sales tax.

                              When she reached for my 20% off coupon, I said that I'd save that for another purchage.

                              $6.39 out the door.... that qualifies as "cheap enough"
