    Porter Cable Omnijig

    My neighbor is an electrician. New owner jacked up the rates on his shop and he is cleaning it out. It is mostly used storage and he is cleaning it out and getting a Conex box. He called me yesterday and said to look at this on the trailer in his driveway. "Take it if you want it or I will send it to the recycler."

    Needless to say it is at my house now. I downloaded a manual for it and now I have to learn to use it! I may look for more templates on eBay.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      I believe depending on the finger templates this will do both half blind and through dovetails. Talk about an awesome score!

        Not something that I would expect to find from an electrician cleaning out his shop
