February 25, 20188 yr comment_141602 The biggest one I've used is the 16" Porter Cable OmniJig. Truthfully, I never got very good at using it. It took me forever to get it setup and dialed in everytime I wanted to make dovetails. I guess I just never used it enough to get good/fast at it. That said, once dialed in it made great joints.

February 25, 20188 yr comment_141619 I don't use a normal dovetail jig but, I do use a box joint jig. I wonder if you could use the same principal. Cut the first set of dovetails then move the jig over to make the next bunch, using a dove tail key to position it. Report
