Has anyone upgraded their Leigh Dovetail Jig?

Bill Grumbine (Kutztown PA)

>Greetings all

I have a Leigh D3 dovetail jig, which gets used from time to time - not as much as I would like, but it does get used. I get a little frustrated with the wee little plastic stops for aligning the wood square to the jig. So I started lusting after the D4. But then I noticed the upgrade kit, which is a whole lot less money and hassle than selling the D3 to buy a D4. Has anyoone done this, and if so, how do you like it?

Thanks.

Bill

>Bill, I have not upgraded my D3 but have certainly considered it mainly to get away from screw type knobs for holding the work pieces. The new cam system looks so much better.

>Hi Ken

I already have the flipper cams locks, so that part is fine, but it is those stupid little plastic guides that get me. I have gotten some engouraging responses on a couple of other boards, so I am going to go ahead with the upgrade. Thanks for responding.

>Bill: I have upgraded mine to the cams but would be very interested in what the other boards have to offer as I too don't like having to all but take the bar off just to adjust the little plastic "squares".
