Be careful with this kit!!!:

The 9/32" dovetail is VERY FRAGILE - when I tried cutting my first dovetail it broke within the first 1/4" of my first cut. I looked at the cut and determined it was not aligned PERFECTLY with the template, so when the bit tried to go into the template it bent the bit and it broke.
Porter Cable DOES NOT have this part on their price list as of the time of this post so you will have a useless tool if you make the slightest mistake with this kit.

Better than expected:

Arrived as promised and included some accessories that were not expected.
Another 5 star purchase.

Think Long, Think Hard before buying Porter Cable 4215 mini dovetail template:

I purchased the Porter Cable 4212 dovetail jig and it works very good, though setting the depth with the supplied plastic molded screw adjustment is pretty hokey. HOWEVER, I make a large number of jewelry boxes and wanted to use the mini dovetail jig, 4215, on my Porter Cable jig. Big mistake! The 9/32 bit is very delicate and it broke after cutting about 80 gently guided cuts. The major problem came when I discovered this bit is ONLY available special order from Porter Cable! Well, I called Porter Cable... more info

Simply, Great.:

Absolutely essential for those "MINI" Dovetails. Again, the quality is there and appreciated. Follow the instructions, double check the set-ups, do the test peice, meet satisfaction and go for the gold. Very simple to adjust and get an almost perfect joint. A must have template to accomplish mini dovetails that you will be proud to show. Quality tools, as always, makes the difference. Treat yourself to one and "enjoy" the journey to your finished product.
