The tapered dovetail spline joint. The unsung hero of joinery. Some say that properly used it is stronger, more attractive, and more versatile than a traditional dovetail joint - but try cutting one! They are notoriously difficult to create by hand.
Although they date back centuries, surviving examples are extremely rare because they are so difficult to execute that even the old world master craftsmen rarely perfected them. We cherish the old ways, but this is one area where technology can help. The real beauty of our tapered dovetail spline jig is its SIMPLICITY.
Forget about endless test cuts and wasted time because you bought a $200, even $500+ system that requires an undergraduate degree to master. Our system lets you make a stunning array of joints right out of the box.
Don't get us wrong. We aren't bashing traditional dovetail jigs ~ not by a long shot. We love traditional dovetails and own many of the jigs that are available on the market today. Some we like, some we don't. But eating your favorite food everyday, day in and day out, would guarantee your eventual dislike of it.
Comparing one traditonal dovetail jig against another is futile because after all . . . they all make the exact same looking joint as the other 99 traditonal dovetail jigs on the market! When it comes to the Kehoe Jig there is simply no comparison.
Let's face it, after a while, if you incorporate nothing but traditional dovetails in all of your projects, your woodshop is going to become a cookie-cutter dovetail factory. Life is too short for that. Do something different and fun; create some strong, beautiful, elegantly tapered spline joints to set you projects apart from 99% of all the other look-alikes!
