ultra,
I use the Keller jig and like it a lot. It's simple, fast, and intuitive, and I think the results look good. To me the dovetails don't look as obviously machine-made as what you get with the typical half-blind jigs. Keep in mind that you only get "through" dovetails with the Keller jig, so for most drawers, you'll want to add a separate drawer front or a thick veneer to cover the exposed dovetails.
They are the best, period I have over 400 blanket chests in the last 14 years to prove it. I don't know how many drawers and small boxes. Easy to set up even easier to use and never get out of adjustment. Also, I have cut dovetails on curved edges, it will do it on very wide parts. No router collars to screw with and it always fits.
You can't go wrong with a keller. Had one for years and love it,easy to use and manual is real good and simple.
Yes to the Keller, simple does one thing and does it well.
