I recently came across your pyRouterJig software, and am very impressed – nice job! I’m a long time woodworker and run a home repair business of my own. I’ve been working on designing a very unique dovetail jig – unlike anything else on the market and I think your software could be of help in the design and use of my jig.
There’s one thing that would make the printout more useful, and I believe would also be of use to others who may use your software for doing dovetails by hand (and for those of us who are geometrically challenged). I know you designed it for use with the Leigh jig, for which the center of the cut is a useful measurement. How difficult would it be to also provide on the printout the measurement from the tip of the dovetail bit to the edge of the board – designated as “A” and “B” below? Sometimes its easier to measure from the tip of the router bit when setting up.

Regards,
Tom

The first use of Variable Spacing puts its slider (to specify number of fingers) in the upper left-hand corner. Resizing the window fixes the slider placement. Subsequent switches in the spacing algorithm (between Variable and Equal) work as they should.

If you create a board with a large width, say 17", then when you go to print it, only the left portion of the board can be printed. There should be a way to print over multiple pages.

Hi,

The Incra metric dovetail templates use imperial dovetail bits. It doesn't look like pyRouterJig allows entering a 12.7mm bit width. Is there any way around this?

Cheers,
Simon.

There don't appear to have been any updates for a long time and the metric side of things isn't complete. Is this project dead? and if are what are the alternatives. (OSX user)
