Incra and Jointech Router Fence Incremental/Positional Jigs
The Incra and Jointech jigs are not for production work, but they work well if you are careful and patient. They work by positioning the fence on your router table, and are time consuming to setup and use compared with dedicated dovetail jigs.

Stots Dovetail Template Master

Stots Dovetail Template Master
You use this template master to make dovetail and box joint jig templates. You can use it to make templates of virtually any size. It runs about $50 plus another $30 for the router bits if you don't have them. One weird thing about this jig is that when you buy it you are actually agreeing that you will honor a three page license that states among other things that you will only use it in one sop, not loan it to others, etc. It's one of the oddest things I've ever seen, but seeing that the jigs purpose is basically to reproduce itself, I guess it makes sense. As a result of this license you almost never see this jig being sold on eBay. I suspect that Stots enforces their license and that eBay honors this.

Katie Jig
A relatively new jig that has received good reviews. It's unique in that you can clamp a tail and pin board in the jig at one time and you cut them on a router table. This ensures the alignment of the top/bottom edges and could be a real time saver if you had a two router setup like Marc Sommerfeld uses at the woodworking shows.

Woodstock International Half-Blind Dovetail Jig W1099
This jig runs between $40 and $60. It works pretty well and was one of my first jigs.

A similar jig is sold by Harbor Freight under the name Central Machine and though it LOOKS like the same tool it is inferrior in many ways including fit and finish. I suggest that you not pay more than $29 for this jig, so don't get too bid-happy on eBay!

Shopsmith Joint-Matic

This information is from my blog: shopsmith-tool-hunter.blogspot.com/

The Joint-Matic was originally sold by the Strong Tool Company as the Strong Jointmatic and after Shopsmith purchased the rights to make it they took it into their R&D department and added dust collection and removed one lead-screw and the synchronizing bicycle chain. After a few years this tool was retired. There is one important thing that you need to keep an eye out for if you are shopping for the Shopsmith version of this tool. You'll want to make sure that the plastic platen that moves the router up and down isn't cracked where the knob that adjusts the backlash out of the lead-thread, threads into the platen. If you are buying one online ask the seller to tighten the knob gently and snap a photo of this detail from above. It it's cracked, take a pass.

Woodworkers Supply Matchmaker Joinery Wirth Machine for Sale

Patented in 1983 and introduced as The Wirth Machine, the Matchmaker was invented by John Wirth, the owner of Woodworkers Supply. The Wirth Machine had an integrated motor, which was replaced by a universal router mount when in 1989 the tool was re-patented and re-christened the Matchmaker. With an X-Y sliding table and a vertically moveable Z axis, this tool follows a plastic template that produces an accurate tenon, mortise, box/finger joint or dovetail.

I owned one back in the late '90s and was blown-away by its versitility.

FYI: A Matchmaker which included a 3hp Hitachi router recently sold on eBay for $650. They sell new from Woodworkers Supply for over $1000 without the router.

Revised:
I can't believe this! The original Wirth Machine is still available from Woodworkers Supply! They are on clearance for $1699, originally selling for $2600.

Rockler Dovetail Jig for Sale

At first glance you'd think you were looking at the Woodstock International jig, but despite a few common elements the Rockler Dovetail jig is head and shoulders beyond the Woodstock.

Not only is this jig capable of cutting normal half blind dovetails, but with standard accessories it will cut through dovetails as well. Optional templates are available for mini half-blind dovetails too.

One of the nicest innovations is something that used to drive me nuts with the Woodstock jig. On the Woodstock jig you have two stops on each side of the jig that must be adjusted just right in order to prevent misalignment when you assemble your joints. Rockler has added a simple one piece stop on each side that is always square and which is preset for the correct offset. That makes it almost impossible to mis-align your boards. Very slick and Rockler even has a patent pending on this innovation.

One new innovation is a slick little duct collection chute which attaches to their jig for a much cleaner shop.
