The
Leigh D4R Pro — formerly known as the D4R — still boasts an
infinitely adjustable guide finger assembly, easily adjustable, where
pins and tails of each dovetail joint can be arranged to give a
hand-cut look and you are assured of a half pin at each edge of the
joint regardless of board width. Plus, it can now be used to create
five sizes of single-pass dovetails and two sizes of precisely fitted
box joints. Both use the standard dovetail finger assembly. The
single-pass half-blind dovetails are possible due to two features
from the Super Jig line of dovetail jigs: a dual function plastic
spacer to space the fingers on the finger bar and position the tail
board with the correct offset and a stop rod inserted in the tail end
of fingers to limit router travel. A similar dual function spacer is
used for routing 5/16" and 5/8" box joints on the standard
dovetail fingers, with the patented Leigh eBush template guidebush
assisting with easy, fast fit adjustments. The Leigh D4R Pro sells
for $579.
