Achieve steady, consistent cuts with this router jig, which converts a trim router into a more precise tool for hinge mortising, edge routing, and hardware fitting without relying on guesswork.
Why This Router Jig Stands Out
- Accurate results: Produce clean mortises, dados, and edge profiles with dependable repeatability.
- Broad compatibility: Designed for most standard trim routers, including common models from leading manufacturers.
- Durable construction: A CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum frame combines with stainless steel hardware for demanding use.
- Faster preparation: Installation takes minutes, reduces manual measuring, and can cut project time in half.
Main Uses and Design Details
1. Flexible Base Plate Setup
Its modular construction allows the jig to function on its own as a router base or to connect with guide rails for additional reach. The red aluminum plate includes pre-drilled attachment holes and a center cutout that provides convenient access to the router bit.
2. Routing Along Edges and Cutting Grooves
Cut straight dados and rabbets with greater control. Two guide rails help keep the router moving steadily, while the adjustable clamps hold narrow workpieces measuring up to 1.54" (39mm) wide.
3. Mortising Hinges and Fitting Hardware
Use the jig for concealed cabinet hinges, drawer runners, and shelf pins. Adjustable guides support accurate positioning, and the transparent acrylic base makes the routing area visible during operation.
4. Small and Easy to Carry
The lightweight construction makes this jig suitable for site work and compact workshops. It comes apart quickly for storage and can be placed in a tool bag.
5. Exact Measurements
Its principal measurements are designed to support accurate operation and broad compatibility:
- Overall length: 8.27" (210mm)
- Width: 2.56" (65mm)
- Height: 4.06" (103mm)
Included in the Package
