FMT Pro | Reviews Leigh FMT Pro Mortise and Tenon Jig Leigh FMT Pro

FMT Pro
"FMT Pro vs. Super FMT - Lexus vs. Toyota The FMT Pro is truly an engineering marvel. Everything about it screams quality and precision, the aluminum CNC machined table, sub-base, and clamp plate, the slick router attachment method, the indexed guide pins, the cam speed clamps, the smooth table operation and locking mechanism, the glass-like nylon glides that mate the base plate to the body, and the integrated sight that enables very speedy changes to route multiple mortises and tenons."

"I have the FMT Pro. I use it all the time. I just finished a set of 12 dining chairs for a client. Set up, repeat ability and ease of use are all spot on. Angled tenons, critical for most chair construction is simple and quick. Using the side stop, table stops and stops on the outriggers, I can make precise and repeatable M&Ts. A couple of test cuts and I can dial in perfect fitting joints. I even use it for floating tenons, by making my own tenon stock on the planer and rounding over on the router table. I have the Festool Domino DF500 as well, but my go to for T joints is the FMT. I like having the work piece held stationary in the jig. IMO, eliminates a lot of the chance for error. The Domino has it's place in my shop, but the FMT has replaced most operations I used to do with my hollow chisel mortise and tenon jig."

"For whatever it's worth, I could hardly believe the quality of the FMT Pro when I unpacked it. I don't have enough superlatives; it looks as though it's way better made than it actually needs to be. Not only does it appear to be useful in making accurate joints, but its mere appearance will be an inspiration, even when the tool is not in use. I haven't been as impressed since I bought my first Bridge City square or my INCA major table saw or Pfeil cabinetmaker's chisels (or, more recently) my Toyota Prius— and those items still impress me. It can be done right; it should be done right; and those of us who want it done right ought to be prepared to pay. Value given appears to at least match price paid. Congratulations to Leigh for giving honest value for price!"

"I’ve been a woodworker all my life, primarily a wood turner, and just purchased your FMT Pro. I also needed a replacement plunge router and purchased the Festool OF 1400. With no understanding of your jig and a new router, I completed a perfect Mortise and Tenon joint within 1 hour of unpacking. My first M&T of my woodworking career and perfect because of your easy to use, high quality, precision jig. You made it easy enough that next stop is your dovetail jig."

"Dear Leigh Industries, I wanted to take an opportunity to let you know how impressed I am with your FMT jig and your D4R dovetailing machine. I purchased both a couple of months ago and let me say this: your company really did their homework designing these jigs! I wish that all of my tools worked as well as your jigs did right out of the box! The assembly couldn’t be much easier and your instruction booklets and DVD are first rate. I wish all of the tools sold had such clear and concise directions...After 1 practice dovetail joint, I made 9 drawers and now all of my drawer joints are made with dovetail joints. They look great and the jig couldn’t be easier to use. Your customer service department was very helpful and professional and even told me how I could save money by buying from a dealer rather than from you directly. I ended up saving about $139 as a result! Thanks for being reputable in an age where that’s going by the wayside. Please feel free to use any part of this letter as a testimonial in any sales material you produce. I couldn’t be more happy with my Leigh Jigs experience and I want everyone to know it!"
