My old Sears Craftsmen came with the best illustrated instructions and I like best for doing 1/2" dovetails. I am traveling right now so I don't have a model number at my finger tips.
My Leigh jig (18") is best for varable spaced 3/4" through dovetails. The Leigh is expensive, Craftsmen less so. All of these I bought in the 80s.
