Burned $120 on a dovetail jig that just wouldn't hold alignment

Spent $120 on a cheap dovetail jig last month and after three tries the tails still wobbled, so does anyone know a solid mid-range jig that actually keeps its settings?

Holy crap, $120 for a jig that can't even hold alignment? That's brutal.

Man idk $120 got you a wobble? Are you sure it was the jig and not just user error? I've seen people blame the tool when really they just didn't tighten stuff down right or the wood was warped. Might be worth checking your setup before dropping more cash.
