I looked at the new Kreg jig which is basically a rebranded Jessem jig. Never used either but just by looking at both this seems to be way easier to use.
To be honest that looks pretty sketchy with the router bit being exposed so close to your hand while you're pushing both on the tool and with your hand. If you do that on an unstable assembly you risk losing a finger and if you clamp it down every time there's a million jigs already out there doing basically the same thing.
I had the same fear initially, but after using it, it’s super stable and not a concern I have anymore. It’s like any other power tool that can be dangerous if not used properly. I’m way more fearful when using a table saw versus this jig.
Okay, that’s pretty slick. I have a build coming up that would really benefit from this.
That looks like its easier to use than the Kreg version. And cheaper!
