These are beautiful, special purpose tools, but I too have trouble justifying the cost. Their most recent offering is a radius jig appearantly machined from billet aluminum. Now this was something I though I could really use . . . Until I saw the price. $310 w/ shipping for the set of 4! Are you kidding me? I did a quick search for a similar product and found a plastic one from Rockler for cheap, but wondered how it would hold up. Then I did a search on eBay for “wood panel radius quick-jig” and turned up an interesting option.
It looks to be the exactly the same as Woodpecker’s, minus the engraving. The price for a set of 2 w/ case is only $29 w/ free shipping. Compare that to Woodpecker’s $87 for their set of 2 (no case). I have a tough time justifying $58 for some engraving. Mine should arrive soon. I’ll be interested to see how they look.
