1. Some others mentioned the pieces not lining up perfectly flush and this is due to the offset guide not offsetting the pieces by exactly 1/2”. There were some solutions mentioned but I found it easiest to use a small piece of duct tape on the edge of the vertical portion of the guide. For me, this displaces the vertical piece (the tails) a little more to the right and giving the correct (1/2”) offset. I actually used two pieces of tape (1 thickness of tape was not quite enough). The most important thing though, I think, is to measure the offset before making the cut. Place the pieces using the guide and clamp them down securely but before cutting, measure to make sure the offset is 1/2”. You probably will have to lift the template up to get a good measurement. Then just put the template back on top, secure it, and cut.
2. The guide bushing may not be a perfect circle. It may be oval by just a few thousandths of a inch. On my first cut, the tails were too big “around” (when looking at them end on) and they would not fit into the pins even with a hammer. Then, I rotated the router 45 degrees and the joint fit together easily by hand. What is happening is when I rotated the router, I was using a part of the guide bushing that was actually very slightly smaller (in diameter) which means the tails are very slight smaller and the pins (actually the gaps between the pins, where the tails fit into) are slightly larger. If you can’t find a position of the guide bushing the gives the right fit, you could gently file the the sides of the bushing just a few thousandths at a time until you get a good fit. Also, once you find the part of the guide bushing that gives that perfect fit, you could mark the opposite sides with a permanent marker. Then, rotate the bushing in the base plate so that the marks are parallel to the handles on the router so you can make the cuts with the router handles in the comfortable position (parallel to the width of the jig and wood). The marks will also be useful for future reference when you reinstall the baseplate and bushing.
All in all, the jig is very good. It is very sturdy and the clamps hold the wood really well. The main shortcoming is the offset guide (mine was off by almost a full 1/16” (two thicknesses of duct tape). Then the guide bushing being a little off was a problem until I figured out what was going on.
I do own a professional jig for the shop and still hand cut many dovetails but for this job I have no complaints.
Bottom line, I am very happy and will use this tool for many projects.
