Can it be disassembled? I want to clamp the body of the jig into a sled for drilling face holes on narrow lumber (perpendicular to the long edge).

If I'm understanding you correctly you want to drill into end grain? Yes the jig can be disassembled although I don't understand the reason for a sled. Where ever you want to place a dowel you mark the location on both pieces at the same time and just line up the marks on the jig with your pencil lines and drill. The pieces line up just right. I hope this helps.

The individual parts can be assembled by a single person BUT it will be a lot easier if there are 2 especially when mounting the cast iron parts. Once assembled the saw CAN be moved to a location but if you are going to be moving it around I highly recommend a wheeled base of some kind.

I don't believe so. It's a handy compact tool that is easy to have around but it wouldn't be my only jig saw. I have a Bosch corded one that I use for anything serious. That said, I use it several times a week.

As long as you have the right set up to properly clamp the jig and board down to your workbench, you could probably go as long as you'd like. It's open ended, so there's no restriction there, but you have to have a rather elaborate clamping system to do really long pieces. If you use a router table, it makes everything easier on you and you only have to use a spacer that is proper thickness to keep your board level. If all you use is the jig and basic clamps, I'd say 24" tops for ease of use.

If you have a saw you could, other wise no it doesn't dissemble as do other trees that I have put together.

I would say No. It comes assembled to hold two across and two down. You'd have to evaluate the risk of disassembling it.

I am unfamiliar with the Jessem Jig though from the product description Jessem Jig can work with a 4" piece of wood. Premium Doweling doesn't.

Yes, but a hole would need to be drilled through first. You would need a drill bit 1/16 or less. Need to get behind the lathe or mesh.

Check out the videos on You Tube. It is an awesome jig. The sacrificial fence has to be 3/4" thick 1x stock. I believe the manual says it can not be taller that 2.5"' so a 1x3 will work perfect. I still have to add one on my jig as I just got it.

I don't think you can - BUT here is the link to this jig (BTW I have one and love it) http://www.grizzly.com/products/Tenoning-Jig/H7583 Now I did not see this as an option and I my slots are 3/4. Now if your table saw is under powered or a low cost saw you might not have enough power to use this. Now you can always purchase some 5/8 inch stock (mild Steel) and drill it to replace the existing guild. The other thing is your blades need to be in really good condition. Now that I am done with my caution recommendations I will tell you this is a wonderful jig to have if you cut tenons - it will take some time to set up and align to your saw so get out your dial indicator , engineers square , calipers and alignment plate , it should take about an hour but it is well worth it. Just as a note , it is good to align your saw once a year too , so make a morning out of it.

Yes. The inner leg (with holes) is totally removable from the mount. You can cut (chop saw, grind wheel, sawzall etc.. to a shorter length and reinstall with no issue.

Yes you can disassemble it. It's the reverse process for putting it together, and it's easy to do

Oh dear...we have no disassembled it as yet. Right now it is tethered up to the ceiling of our dock house for easy take down when getting ready for an evening movie. The weather is about to change of course and we are going to store it up for the winter. But I'll keep your question in mind and respond again if we found an 'easy' trick to disassembling. Sorry that I cannot answer your question at this time.

Not sure if I understand your question? This piece goes into the drilling jig. It is not a "stand alone" item that can be clamped to a board for use (although it possibly could, but not with the right angle clamp).

If you can line current hole and put 2 holding pins, that would keep the holes aligned. Clamping would be next best way. If not then you would need to hold the block into the corner and start at the top hole; after you drill the first hole, put the holding pin in to keep it aligned for the holes, but it will still require you to hold the jig.

Without this tool you won't be able to do that ... Even with a tool this is very tough. When we needed to move it, we decided to disassemble it just partially.

Yes. If I remember correctly it was assembled with screws and not nails so it should be able to be taken apart relatively easily.
