I bought this jig in a lot with some other stuff. I already have a Leigh
jig I never use and I'm not really into router dovetails anyway.

If somebody wants the Omnijig, send me an offer. It's a
robust thing that could stand up to a production environment.

Kind of a brute among jigs I'd say. It's the one with the fixed
templates. Just one template included.

I have had the Omni 24" for years, as Loren said, it is a workhorse.

Seldom would you need more than 16" length unless you were making a blanket chest or similar.

Loren,
Is the jig still available? I got a 5116 thrown in with a bunch of other equipment on a Craigslist purchase. Only problem is the template is chewed up at the left side because the seller pulled the router out before it stopped turning. Porter Cable was selling the template a few months ago when I got it, so I was just waiting to purchase it until I used the jig, but now it is discontinued. I would love to have the templates if they are still available. Thanks in advance.

Hi Loren,

I didn't flake out, I am building my shop here all by myself, and have been so busy setting windows and coordinating the concrete pour that I haven't set aside time to respond to e-mails or anything else. I was taken back by your comments; the jig being no longer for sale is fine, I wish you success in all that you do.
Thanks for your time,
Mike
