I'm an old retired guy who has come into the woodworking very late in the game. My desire is to spend whatever remaining time that I have, making things (gifts, etc) not shop furniture or jigs/tools. I've been looking for something like this and was THRILLED that you had them for purchase on your website. You are indeed an amazing woman. Thank you for your contribution to my retirement hobby.
from another retired old guy that has taken up wood working ,Its nice to know I'm not the only one. I have also taken up songwriting at this late stage of the game , its kind of fun if you play a guitar or some other instrument but it's not easy I have come to find out. Good luck buddy hang in there.
Hey John, I am in the same boat as you. 72 years here with a kick ass backyard shop. When I am not make wood projects, I am roasting my own coffee beans or air brushing some art. Fun fun fun.
Tamar, all of us in the woodworking community are lucky that you chose to be in it. Your creativity is over the top !!! This jig will bring many new people into this community. Thanks, hope your having a great day.
I third that comment. I am one of those newbies. So new I don't even have a router yet. But I immeditly saw the value and ordered on the first run. All unpacked and ready for a router.
I received my 6-in-1 Universal Trim Router Jig today. I've been wanting to make a 5" sanding disc for my drill. With this jig, I accomplished it in no time. I am in the same boat with John Fogg - "You are indeed an amazing woman." Thank you
So I bought the first round of these when they came out. Used the hell out of it. Then yesterday my router slipped put of the housing and onto the floor and I broke the jig. Ugh! Fortunately KM Tools still sells it so I got another on ordered. Can't live without it!
I received mine today, delivered all the way to the UK. (I had one stuipd issue with it, which was my own fault.) I had printed page 2 out, but it seems, not at 100%, so I couldn't get the dots to line up. I got in touch with Tamah, (with no intention of returning it BTW.) and Tamah had it figured one with her first suggestion... Which was, to make sure it was printed at 100%. I printed it out again and all the dots lined up perfectly. Tamah you truly are amazing. Thank you so much! PS. Fantastic customer service too... Tamah got back to me within a min or so, and with a few messages back and forth, and all replies were in super fast time as well, she soon had it sussed. Thank you again Tamah.
For all of you considering purchasing this jig. Just do it! It is a very useful tool and a bargain. I built it. It was fun, but purchasing the parts will probably cost you the same amount and it won't be perfectly made like this. Good luck Tamar. You should sell a million! I would have bought it and probably others. Ever consider going into business manufacturing jigs? Call it "3X3 Custom Jigs". Seems obvious for. you. Contact April Wilkerson. She has a stand alone business and employees who manufacture her products, using multiple CNC machines, and ship them out to her customers. This is probably how Kreg started out.
Finally got a chance to cut a circle. I needed a 4' diameter circle for my project and the jig only goes up to 3'. I managed to grab a piece of scrap plywood from the project that was 6" wide, cut it at a length of 16"-18" (I don't recall the exact length) to get the 24" radius size I needed. I drilled holes in the corners and replaced the extension runners with this board between the base and the triangular piece. I measured and adjusted the length with slots in the base to the precise measurement. I was them able to use my trim router to cut out the circle with ease! Love the jig and appreciate all that you do.
I’m just stoked that I can finally give back to Tamar for all of the work she’s done. For me, it’s less about the specific projects and more about seeing her thought process and problem solving. I’m hobby oriented, so my projects are primarily one offs. I don’t do production or sales. Except dice towers…I’ve made many varieties of those :) Her ideas consistently add to my mental planning and execution toolkit. Bonus, I’ll have a kick butt router base that will make me a better maker :)
Had mine a few weeks now and it has delivered 100 percent. Believe the hype! I even managed to knock it off my bench with the extension arms attached and I was terrified that something would have cracked or chipped off (it fell onto a concrete floor). It was no worse for the wear at all, no damage. As a precaution, I got my centering bit and reset the base to make sure it was back on center and after that I was back in business. Can't even tell it took a tumble. The edge guide worked like a charm and everything was easy to change out. Absolutely no complaints! If you're thinking about getting one of these, wait no longer. Get one, and I promise you will not regret it.
This is amazing. I have wanted this jig for a long time. The quality and thought that you put into your work in design is above and beyond. I direct everyone that I can to your site because everything you do is inspiring and at a level most woodworkers can not wrap their head around. You explain everything so well. Thanks for being you, showing the good (and the bad), and putting the amount of love that you do into your work.
Saw the 6-in-1 router jig and thought, this is just what I need! I asked about shipping to the UK and Tamar got back to me immediately. I didn't hesitate and ordered the next day. I received my jig 2 weeks later, amazing!
Wow Tamar. Not only are you an awesome woodworker, you’re also a great industrial designer, teacher, business and marketing success and mentor. You must have incredible energy to do all that and raise kids. Can’t wait to buy one
I'm a total newbie to woodworking and love this video on how to use the jig. I just received my Router Jig and can't wait to start using it thanks to you and all your helpful information!
What a lovely, powerful jig! I hope you can develop an adapter from this jig to the inexpensive clamp-on tracks from multiple manufacturers, that enable quick, low-risk straight-line grooves, dadoes and rabbets.
one of the most professional and sympathetic presentations I have ever seen FROM a designer of a tool explaining "his" thoughts that flowed from the head into the tool / product. Advantages, disadvantages, limitations, possibilities. Only in such a case can a customer feel well informed that they want to buy and use the product, or whether they would rather use another product with an equally detailed product presentation. Every product should be offered with a description by the designers and not by marketing! As a rule, I find loveless descriptions from "salesmen" who just manage to copy the manufacturer's data and manufacturers who produce product videos of 30 seconds, often even without language. With this, a customer is supposed to get to know the product or even a whole product line with accessories in the possibilities? Laziness or hubris? The companies take the opportunity to establish a first connection with the customer and to show what sets them apart from their competitors. Probably nothing! Probably the companies are afraid to explain a tool (or even a kitchen machine), to bear costs for it and customers then buy the machine and the accessories from the competition. But the more complex a product is, the less customers can switch because the accessories are also rarely compatible ("lock in"): e.g. a guide rail, the hose from the extraction unit or, as shown here: the mounting holes for the jig on the router. (btw: Metabo (german) is not on the list). This problem unfortunately affects ALL industries and "ends up" on amazon, where you can even find on food and clothing: "Battery required: no" and "Battery included: no". The sellers apparently do not even manage to delete this - presumably an example from amazon - and make their own, comprehensive (complete) description. In the short time available, sloppy work seems to be the order of the day. Machines and accessories are sometimes sold in euros or dollars per millilitre or per kilogram, or a drill suddenly weighs only 25 grams. I don't even want to talk about contradictory statements by different sellers or even on the same page and about "Chinese translations". It was a great pleasure to listen to this product presentation.
Just received mine a couple days ago, that was fast! Quality looks great and assembly was easy. I obviously haven't done a lot with it yet since I just got it, but did try a simple no hole circle on some scrap and it worked perfectly. No hole!
Since being able to use this trim router jig for months now, this is what I have discovered: Take this jig, a recommended router (mine is the Dewalt router) and the Micro jig clamping system and the possibilities for creating not only jigs but other woodworking projects is pretty much endless. Thanks for this invaluable tool you have designed and created!
This 6 in 1 jig is absolutely brilliant! You had me on the presale video with Katz Moses… and I pre-ordered then. Now after watching this video I am even more excited for the day it comes!! Thanks for such an ingenious piece of shop equipment.
I ordered this as soon as it was out. I'm excited to get it. I am ready to order probably any jigs you come up with. I'm not great at coming up with jigs so I'm happy to support you.
Tamar, I just received the combination 6-in-1 Universal Trim Router and Bench top router table combo today and I'm so excited to start using it. Thanks for this easy to use router tool kit!
Used this jig for trimming hardwood edge banding this am as a test for a big project. Amazing. I have dreaded trimming homemade banding forever due to wobbly routers, but this worked like magic. Honestly, I lack the ability to express how impressive this router jig is.
@@DaveHarris75 You could take your router base and align it to the jig base. Would take a little more time, but since it is centered, rotate until it matches up. Would that work?
Tamar, I found your channel two weeks ago, so I am late to your game. After watching this video I ordered this jig from you, received it promptly, and have begun to "play" with it. Thank you for designing this jig - or whomever did. Simple, fast, works on my Ryobi 2-1/4 Hp router, my 3 Hp Porter Cable, and on my tiny laminate edge trimmer router. I expected that I would have to add some holes as I did not expect any one jig to fit all three of these routers (especially since my laminate edge trimmer is an incredibly cheap, off-brand from a company that references open water and cargo in its title and are notorious for making use-once disposable tools). In this case, my expectations were not met. Love your confidence in the shop. 👏💛
Great tutorial. And you’ve built amazing versatility into the jig. I can’t wait to receive mine, and I’m so glad that I got in on the first run. Congratulations, by the way, on selling out. I predict that will be a recurring circumstance.
I'm cracking up, really enjoy this. No wasted time, to the point, great demo and wonder how many people think Thier head is spinning with overload. This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of a what 95% of people posting on TH-cam could learn from. Guess those classes you took paid off, great jig,
Tamar and Jonathan Katz-Moses just received my 6in1 and Stop block. Set up took about 5 minutes and tested was super accurate. Postage to the UK was superfast 4 days. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more video info and tools.
A quick safety tip from my experience this morning. I was using the router in an awkward placement. I was holding the router by the jig handle, in my left hand, and used my right hand to turn the router on. When I let go of the router switch, the weight of the router twisted the jig, and it began to unscrew from the handle that I was holding it by and the router dropped and swung suddenly downwards. Make sure that your jig handles are screwed on tight!
Tamar, love the jig. Helped me with my pantry build project. I never built a jig before. Now I am building a Moxan vise to add to my tools. Thanks for the inspiration.
Watching this again as I just got my router jig in the mail, perfectly packed, looks just like the video! All the paper has been peeled off and now it’s time to set it up. BTW: my paper came off just fine, but then the box had been sitting on my Arizona porch for an hour before I grabbed it. No additional heat necessary!
I’m not sure how you came up with such a versatile jig, but you did such a great job. I just got mine a couple weeks ago and it really can do it all. Thank you
Just got the jig. I've only used it for a dado (for a T-track) and it is awesome. I'm going to be using this jig a lot! I'm glad I returned my fixed base router for the palm router just so I'd be able to use this jig. So glad I did. Totally worth it. Thanks so much to you and Jonathan Katz-Moses.
I built the 'original' jig from the first video. I use it almost every time I use a router now, can't live without it. It's also very easy to add additional purpose built attachments. Yes, I ordered the kit as well. I want to be able to have 2 jig setups at the same time, so... Need 2 jigs(!). Almost forgot... Thanks for this video, great reminder for the jigs many uses! It's beautifully done, the colored inserts showing the jig parts in configuration are great! And of course... Your spline jig for the jig is a great idea (a jig-jig!? Waiting to see how you make a jig-jig-jig! Where will it all end...!?) Update 7/16/2022 Just received my router base kit, took a while to receive (congratulations on having such a successful start!). The parts in the kit are beautifully cut, everything was there. Hardware is great quality, hefty handles are just right, knobs are excellent - couldn't be happier, a great jig for a great price! (The handles had a small rough spot at the top joint where the 'cap' and handle meet, but a little sanding and some paste wax took care of that - yes, I'm pretty fussy about how my tools look and feel - others may not even notice or bother...) In any case - THANKS, Ms. Tamar, I now have awesome 2 jigs and am dancing a third jig with delight ; - )
Got mine about a month ago, but since I'm a truck driver that runs from Indiana to the Pacific Northwest 3 times a month, haven't had too much chance to use it yet, But what I have, it is absolutely amazing how much control it gives you. Think I am going to try to make one for my big Bosch router.
Just ordered one up to the great white north. Incredibly well thought out design and an incredibly versatile design that works amazing even as is, but I really like the fact that you encourage other people to come up with other attachments. Noticed in your shop that you also offer the plans for sale as well, so if folks already have access to the supplies/tools needed, they can bang one out themselves, which I thought was really great. Get everyone on this platform! Also I appreciate your shipping to Canada at a reasonable price. Cheers!
I like watching the video compared to having to read instructions. Recived mine today and looking forward to puttting it to work. Best packaging of a product i have recived in a long time.
So glad I took the leap and bought it. This video just solidified my decision. I was going to pay $25 for a circle cutting template from Amazon to make speakers but with this, I can do sooooooo much more. Thanks!
I just received my router jig and can't wait for it to stop raining here in SO CA so I can use it! LOL Killer design, super well thought out and manufactured and explained wonderfully! One would be hard pressed to procure and assemble to this level of quality at the price you are providing this excellent tool! Thank you and very well done!
Router jig arrived a couple of weeks ago. Just started using it. Fantastic tool. I'm still a newbie when it comes to my router. This jig will go a long way to upping my skill level and confidence. Thanks Tamar for a great product!
I received the 6-in-one jig last week. Between this TH-cam, instructions emailed, and experimenting, it’ll be a great addition to my wood work shop! - Maker Hop Sing
An excellent, very versatile little jig. One thought, however. A few months ago Stumpy Nubs made a video on the importance of using a router table starter pin when you are routing on a table without a fence. Perhaps for the next run you could add a threaded hole to the base so that the circle jig pin could be used as a starter pin if someone wants to use the jig as a router table.
Ive made a good living making custom furniture and cabinetry and I’ve been watching you for a Very long time and am just so happy for you and how far you’ve come. Congratulations on your success. Could not happen to a better person.
Bought the jig, set it up with my Makita, had at it. Makes routing much easier, you don't have to worry about controlling the wobble, it's great. I got rid of my overengineered circle cutting jig, since this is so much easier to use. Stoked I got this.
I feel like the views on this video are gonna skew the algorithm because I'm gonna reference this like 50 times until I memorize all the different ways to use this once I get it. Lol. Congrats again on this 👏👏👏👏
Tamar, a lot of people can learn how to repeat what someone else has already done. Few can figure out how it can be done better. I love your channel you are always full of great and practical ideas. Very happy for the success you rightfully deserve!
Got my jig in about 5 days. Very nice quality and easy to assemble. Only hiccup was when I put on my Bosch colt, the screws sat a little proud. I carefully deepened the holes with a 5/16 forstner bit and now they are flush. Can't wait to use this on many projects. Was going to build a circle cutting jig. Now I don't have to
Had seen the original jig video. I never bought a trim router because of the small base. After I saw the jig video, I bought a trim router, my plastic, and went looking to buy the jig plans. By happy mistake, found the jig all done cheaper than the parts. I will find another use for the plastic. Got in the first order, can't wait to get it and put them together.
Thanks for this video. I have this jig on order, but belatedly realized that Bosch has two trim routers called Colt plus plunge bases. This video showing the screw hole patterns was shown just long enough to allow me to see the several Bosch combinations that the jig was designed for. Pretty much assures me that the jig will work for me. Always enjoy your content. Great work!
I have ordered this Jig to EU which is really great and very usefull tool and super easy to use. Tamar, thank you to share your woodworking skills with us. 😊
Companys need to see this video. How to give proper instructions to customers 😝😝. Not just 15 pages of paper lol. I am one of the lucky ones. Congrats on the sold out sale 👊🏽 🇳🇱
Thank you Tamar, I was so pleasantly surprised, I ordered mine on the 16th of May and was delivered on the 24th. Wow…. I thought it will take couple weeks. Excellent service, about to put it to work this weekend.
Really happy for you on selling out the first run!! I was lucky, and ordered right after the previous video came out, and it got here 6 or 7 days later. Now, just to find time to play with it 🤣😂.
This is a game changer for me. I'm glad I'm in the first run. I've been afraid of using my trim router and this will give me freedom to enjoy it! Thanks so much!
Awesome jig, and I might add that it has most features of many higher priced commercial versions. I would only recommend using a drop of (removable) Loctite to that threaded pin. Cheap insurance. I have lost (and then manufactured) a similar pin for router table plate. FANTASTIC build, all around.
I love this jig. I put it on my old DWP611 and I am amazed at the increased control I have when routing. I like to make dovetail boxes and rabbit the inside of the top edge of the box to accept the lid. I cannot believe how much easier it is to rout the rabbits with the wide base and double handles on the jig. Thanks!
I have ordered the jig. I think you must have uniquely high spatial visualization capabilities. to come up with this and all the custom jigs you use. This is pretty incredible.
Just got my jig today and it is epic. Sooooo many challenging efforts made easy by this bad bear. Can’t wait to find every trick! Thanks for a very useful product!
Received mine this week and already put it to use yesterday. Wow what control I now have and more safety, too. Tamar this is an excellently designed product and really an excellent value, too as I could not have produced this on my own anywhere near the cost and quality. Thank you!
Just received the ‘jig kit’! Crazy excited to make some sawdust! Additionally, thanks for this great video, wow is this a gamechanger for the guy that doesn’t have a router table!
I'm looking forward to getting mine, you have made the setup clearer I'm sure. Put it this way if I get stuck, just watch this again. Glad I got the first run 🙂
Awesome multi-function jig! By far the best jig for a router of many YT Clips I saw! Just ordered one here to Germany. Many many thanks for the possible international shipping!
This is a very (!) useful jig. The extension arms are a nice bonus feature. This jig is a great vale compared to the time it woul take to make various “one-off” jigs for separate requirements, or fashioning something similarly adjustable. If you frequently do router work, you need this jig. Thanks Tamar for making the video demonstrating the utility of this jig!
Mine came in the mail today so as promised, I watch the video. A lot to digest and I'll be coming back to it often. Kudos on the idea of turning into a small router table. Extra benefit of making the portable work bench. I'm going to start practicing with it tomorrow. Aloha .... tjb
Hey there got my jig a few days ago. Can’t wait to get in my shop to try it out on new build. Lift top coffee table. Have no power at the moment cause the contractors finally started rebuilding my house from last years tornados. Neighbor says I can tap into their power for my shop though. Can I make a suggestion on packing though.. the paper wrap was torn on the base pieces but no scratches thank goodness. Everything else looked ok.
Thank you Tamar... I've ordered mine and I'm looking forward to receiving it in the new year! I hope you and the family have a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous 2023.
Hi Tamar! I am amazed at the quality of the tools and devices you present to us!! Here in Brazil! tools with this quality are very expensive!! Unfortunately!! I will continue to watch your videos!! Are the best!! Take care!!👏
At the risk of adding more holes and weakening the plate, it would be nice to have another set of grooves that allows to add a piece of wood that runs across as an adjustable fence. Would come in handy for those of us with no table routers. Thanks for all the work put on designing this jig.
great product, was pleasantly surprised to receive it in less than a week when your presale launch vid and confirmation email said 4-6 week lead time. thanks so much!
Tamar, This is a great jig. i built it from your plans and everything went great until I went to use it for the first time. I had attached my Makita router with the plunge base as I felt this would be the most versatile setup. When I put on the edge guide piece, I couldn't get it close enough to the bit because the plunge base is bigger that the regular base and it gets in the way of the bolts to hold the edge guide. Not a problem to make another edge guide piece a little wider and the setup worked great. This is a well thought out and versatile setup, just needed some tweaking in my instance.
Thanks so much for your very thoughtful insights. Your explanations are clear and to the point. I have used many of your suggestions in my woodworking.
Tamar, I received my jig and I must say the quality is absolutely astounding! Great job at the amazing design and endless possibilities. I have not had a chance to get back into my wood shop but I will be using this awesome jig soon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us❤️❤️❤️
Tamar, the biggest selling point that you forgot to mention is it’s clear and you can see what your routing. I am waiting for my jig, I ordered day two and made the first run.
Received mine a months ago and have been using it. Love how many optional ways to use it. You should be able to sell a lot of them. This a Fantastic jig set up. I keep rewatching how you are showing us to use it and that really makes the difference. You guys should look at the Festool one they make that no wan wants because its $405 be you guys could make us one for under a $100-$125. Its for there 1400 Router. Thank You
Well, Miss Tamar, I have just drilled another few feet of the "Rabbit Hole"!!!! I did'nt think I needed this jig until I watched the vid! Great job done by all! Congratulations!
Tamar ... Permission to watch this after I get mine, please. As always, I'm sure this video instruction is every bit as professional and informative as your previous ones. You never disappoint.
I just ordered the jig on pre-order. This video and your color-coded instructions sheet that I just downloaded are perhaps the best explanation of a product I have ever seen. Great job! Can I point out that the part that looks like a baseball home plate is actually a pentagon, not a triangle, without sounding like a dweeb? I'm looking forward to receiving the jig. Keep up the innovating and the great videos. And keep working with Jonathan. I wear one of his aprons every day.
Watching you grow as a woodworker has been a real pleasure. All of us in this community are blessed that you are part of it. God only knows just how far your talent and intelligence will take you … I for one look forward to watching it. Cheers!
I finally got mine set up, I live in New Zealand and the routers available are mostly different * than available in the US. I was able to purchase the equivalent of a DeWalt 611, model D26204K-XE, and it fit the 611 holes perfectly. I might check other routers that I run across overtime to help build a non-us list of routers. *Cordless routers seem to be the same, but wired ones are different. I am excited to use the jig.
Excellent tutorial Tamar!👌 What better way to promote this jig than to simply show it's many uses.👍 The best part is actually encouraging people to go beyond the product and expand their own horizons.🤙
Can't wait to get my router template and try it! Thank to both of you, Tamar and Jonathan, to have made a joint venture to help us getting better at woodworking!
Bought a router last year, with few projects in mind, but was intimidated when I unpacked the kit. Now that I just saw this demo and plan to order the kit soon, I feel so much more confident, really! Thanks Tamar for making those practical jigs and tools. Keep your entrepreneurial skills expanding; they are so beneficial and make wood working way less intimidating for everyone!
I ordered the jig and received the email instructions as well. Thank you for the video, I am more of a visual learner and appreciate your sharing this information. I am excited to receive my jig. Tamar, you are awesome!
Great idea. As soon as I get this I can clean out a lot of jigs for my router which I use a lot. I will still keep your plans on how to make a router base just for nostalgia, lol.
I'm an old retired guy who has come into the woodworking very late in the game. My desire is to spend whatever remaining time that I have, making things (gifts, etc) not shop furniture or jigs/tools. I've been looking for something like this and was THRILLED that you had them for purchase on your website. You are indeed an amazing woman. Thank you for your contribution to my retirement hobby.
from another retired old guy that has taken up wood working ,Its nice to know I'm not the only one. I have also taken up songwriting at this late stage of the game , its kind of fun if you play a guitar or some other instrument but it's not easy I have come to find out. Good luck buddy hang in there.
Hi I am in the same boat, good luck
Same here! nice having her talent, experience and material available to learn from. Outstanding!
Hey John, I am in the same boat as you. 72 years here with a kick ass backyard shop. When I am not make wood projects, I am roasting my own coffee beans or air brushing some art. Fun fun fun.
Tamar, all of us in the woodworking community are lucky that you chose to be in it. Your creativity is over the top !!! This jig will bring many new people into this community. Thanks, hope your having a great day.
That’s so awesome to hear. Thank you ☺️
I second Bruce's comment.
I third that comment.
I am one of those newbies. So new I don't even have a router yet. But I immeditly saw the value and ordered on the first run.
All unpacked and ready for a router.
You're*
Agreed, you're a woodworking Legend Tamara, waiting on my notification that things are back in stock?!
I swear this woman is a genius! We're really lucky to have you around in this community
I received my 6-in-1 Universal Trim Router Jig today. I've been wanting to make a 5" sanding disc for my drill. With this jig, I accomplished it in no time. I am in the same boat with John Fogg - "You are indeed an amazing woman." Thank you
So I bought the first round of these when they came out. Used the hell out of it. Then yesterday my router slipped put of the housing and onto the floor and I broke the jig. Ugh! Fortunately KM Tools still sells it so I got another on ordered. Can't live without it!
I received mine today, delivered all the way to the UK. (I had one stuipd issue with it, which was my own fault.) I had printed page 2 out, but it seems, not at 100%, so I couldn't get the dots to line up. I got in touch with Tamah, (with no intention of returning it BTW.) and Tamah had it figured one with her first suggestion... Which was, to make sure it was printed at 100%. I printed it out again and all the dots lined up perfectly. Tamah you truly are amazing. Thank you so much!
PS. Fantastic customer service too... Tamah got back to me within a min or so, and with a few messages back and forth, and all replies were in super fast time as well, she soon had it sussed. Thank you again Tamah.
For all of you considering purchasing this jig. Just do it! It is a very useful tool and a bargain. I built it. It was fun, but purchasing the parts will probably cost you the same amount and it won't be perfectly made like this. Good luck Tamar. You should sell a million!

She has a stand alone business and employees who manufacture her products, using multiple CNC machines, and ship them out to her customers. This is probably how Kreg started out.
Glad you like it so much! 3x3 custom jigs. I like the sound of that. Ha
Finally got a chance to cut a circle. I needed a 4' diameter circle for my project and the jig only goes up to 3'. I managed to grab a piece of scrap plywood from the project that was 6" wide, cut it at a length of 16"-18" (I don't recall the exact length) to get the 24" radius size I needed. I drilled holes in the corners and replaced the extension runners with this board between the base and the triangular piece. I measured and adjusted the length with slots in the base to the precise measurement. I was them able to use my trim router to cut out the circle with ease! Love the jig and appreciate all that you do.
I’m just stoked that I can finally give back to Tamar for all of the work she’s done. For me, it’s less about the specific projects and more about seeing her thought process and problem solving. I’m hobby oriented, so my projects are primarily one offs. I don’t do production or sales. Except dice towers…I’ve made many varieties of those :) Her ideas consistently add to my mental planning and execution toolkit. Bonus, I’ll have a kick butt router base that will make me a better maker :)
How can I get this router jig, and how much does it cost.
Had mine a few weeks now and it has delivered 100 percent. Believe the hype! I even managed to knock it off my bench with the extension arms attached and I was terrified that something would have cracked or chipped off (it fell onto a concrete floor). It was no worse for the wear at all, no damage. As a precaution, I got my centering bit and reset the base to make sure it was back on center and after that I was back in business. Can't even tell it took a tumble. The edge guide worked like a charm and everything was easy to change out. Absolutely no complaints! If you're thinking about getting one of these, wait no longer. Get one, and I promise you will not regret it.
This is amazing. I have wanted this jig for a long time. The quality and thought that you put into your work in design is above and beyond. I direct everyone that I can to your site because everything you do is inspiring and at a level most woodworkers can not wrap their head around. You explain everything so well. Thanks for being you, showing the good (and the bad), and putting the amount of love that you do into your work.
Saw the 6-in-1 router jig and thought, this is just what I need!
I asked about shipping to the UK and Tamar got back to me immediately. I didn't hesitate and ordered the next day. I received my jig 2 weeks later, amazing!
Wow Tamar. Not only are you an awesome woodworker, you’re also a great industrial designer, teacher, business and marketing success and mentor. You must have incredible energy to do all that and raise kids. Can’t wait to buy one
☺️☺️
I'm a total newbie to woodworking and love this video on how to use the jig. I just received my Router Jig and can't wait to start using it thanks to you and all your helpful information!
What a lovely, powerful jig! I hope you can develop an adapter from this jig to the inexpensive clamp-on tracks from multiple manufacturers, that enable quick, low-risk straight-line grooves, dadoes and rabbets.
one of the most professional and sympathetic presentations I have ever seen FROM a designer of a tool explaining "his" thoughts that flowed from the head into the tool / product. Advantages, disadvantages, limitations, possibilities. Only in such a case can a customer feel well informed that they want to buy and use the product, or whether they would rather use another product with an equally detailed product presentation.
Every product should be offered with a description by the designers and not by marketing!
As a rule, I find loveless descriptions from "salesmen" who just manage to copy the manufacturer's data and manufacturers who produce product videos of 30 seconds, often even without language. With this, a customer is supposed to get to know the product or even a whole product line with accessories in the possibilities? Laziness or hubris?
The companies take the opportunity to establish a first connection with the customer and to show what sets them apart from their competitors. Probably nothing! Probably the companies are afraid to explain a tool (or even a kitchen machine), to bear costs for it and customers then buy the machine and the accessories from the competition. But the more complex a product is, the less customers can switch because the accessories are also rarely compatible ("lock in"): e.g. a guide rail, the hose from the extraction unit or, as shown here: the mounting holes for the jig on the router. (btw: Metabo (german) is not on the list).
This problem unfortunately affects ALL industries and "ends up" on amazon, where you can even find on food and clothing: "Battery required: no" and "Battery included: no". The sellers apparently do not even manage to delete this - presumably an example from amazon - and make their own, comprehensive (complete) description. In the short time available, sloppy work seems to be the order of the day. Machines and accessories are sometimes sold in euros or dollars per millilitre or per kilogram, or a drill suddenly weighs only 25 grams.
I don't even want to talk about contradictory statements by different sellers or even on the same page and about "Chinese translations".
It was a great pleasure to listen to this product presentation.
So glad you liked it!
Just received mine a couple days ago, that was fast! Quality looks great and assembly was easy. I obviously haven't done a lot with it yet since I just got it, but did try a simple no hole circle on some scrap and it worked perfectly. No hole!
Nice! That’s my favorite feature for sure!
Oh wow! I’m jealous. Anxiously awaiting my arrival. Have fun!
Since being able to use this trim router jig for months now, this is what I have discovered: Take this jig, a recommended router (mine is the Dewalt router) and the Micro jig clamping system and the possibilities for creating not only jigs but other woodworking projects is pretty much endless. Thanks for this invaluable tool you have designed and created!
This 6 in 1 jig is absolutely brilliant! You had me on the presale video with Katz Moses… and I pre-ordered then. Now after watching this video I am even more excited for the day it comes!!
Thanks for such an ingenious piece of shop equipment.
Awesome. Can’t wait for you to get it!
Same here! Bravo and well done!
Just got mine!!! My brain is in overload with all the possibilities!!! Thanks Tamar!!!!!!!
I ordered this as soon as it was out. I'm excited to get it.
I am ready to order probably any jigs you come up with.
I'm not great at coming up with jigs so I'm happy to support you.
Tamar, I just received the combination 6-in-1 Universal Trim Router and Bench top router table combo today and I'm so excited to start using it. Thanks for this easy to use router tool kit!
Awesome! Have fun with it!
Makes me want to get a router just to use the kit! Good Job as always!
Haha nice
Used this jig for trimming hardwood edge banding this am as a test for a big project. Amazing. I have dreaded trimming homemade banding forever due to wobbly routers, but this worked like magic. Honestly, I lack the ability to express how impressive this router jig is.
Suggestion - make the various holes numbered instead of colored if someone's colorblind or doesn't have a color printer
My issue exactly. I am colorblind. So, as much as this tool would streamline my woodworking, I wouldn’t be able to use it.
@@DaveHarris75 You could take your router base and align it to the jig base. Would take a little more time, but since it is centered, rotate until it matches up. Would that work?
@@JNRII yes that’s what I did. Only took maybe 30 seconds to find the holes. I didn’t feel like printing the guide.
Where would get the router that you have it looks good
Reply please
Tamar, I found your channel two weeks ago, so I am late to your game. After watching this video I ordered this jig from you, received it promptly, and have begun to "play" with it.
Thank you for designing this jig - or whomever did. Simple, fast, works on my Ryobi 2-1/4 Hp router, my 3 Hp Porter Cable, and on my tiny laminate edge trimmer router. I expected that I would have to add some holes as I did not expect any one jig to fit all three of these routers (especially since my laminate edge trimmer is an incredibly cheap, off-brand from a company that references open water and cargo in its title and are notorious for making use-once disposable tools). In this case, my expectations were not met.
Love your confidence in the shop. 👏💛
I designed it ☺️ so glad you like it!
Great tutorial. And you’ve built amazing versatility into the jig. I can’t wait to receive mine, and I’m so glad that I got in on the first run. Congratulations, by the way, on selling out. I predict that will be a recurring circumstance.
Thanks so much! So crazy!
I'm cracking up, really enjoy this. No wasted time, to the point, great demo and wonder how many people think Thier head is spinning with overload. This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of a what 95% of people posting on TH-cam could learn from. Guess those classes you took paid off, great jig,
Haha glad you liked it!
Tamar and Jonathan Katz-Moses just received my 6in1 and Stop block. Set up took about 5 minutes and tested was super accurate. Postage to the UK was superfast 4 days. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more video info and tools.
A quick safety tip from my experience this morning. I was using the router in an awkward placement. I was holding the router by the jig handle, in my left hand, and used my right hand to turn the router on. When I let go of the router switch, the weight of the router twisted the jig, and it began to unscrew from the handle that I was holding it by and the router dropped and swung suddenly downwards. Make sure that your jig handles are screwed on tight!
Tamar, love the jig. Helped me with my pantry build project. I never built a jig before. Now I am building a Moxan vise to add to my tools. Thanks for the inspiration.
Watching this again as I just got my router jig in the mail, perfectly packed, looks just like the video! All the paper has been peeled off and now it’s time to set it up.
BTW: my paper came off just fine, but then the box had been sitting on my Arizona porch for an hour before I grabbed it. No additional heat necessary!
I’m not sure how you came up with such a versatile jig, but you did such a great job. I just got mine a couple weeks ago and it really can do it all. Thank you
Just got the jig. I've only used it for a dado (for a T-track) and it is awesome. I'm going to be using this jig a lot! I'm glad I returned my fixed base router for the palm router just so I'd be able to use this jig. So glad I did. Totally worth it. Thanks so much to you and Jonathan Katz-Moses.
OH MY!!! Just used your jig for the first time to freehand route a sign. IT'S THE BOMB!!! Just thought you should know.
I built the 'original' jig from the first video. I use it almost every time I use a router now, can't live without it. It's also very easy to add additional purpose built attachments. Yes, I ordered the kit as well. I want to be able to have 2 jig setups at the same time, so... Need 2 jigs(!). Almost forgot... Thanks for this video, great reminder for the jigs many uses! It's beautifully done, the colored inserts showing the jig parts in configuration are great!
And of course... Your spline jig for the jig is a great idea (a jig-jig!? Waiting to see how you make a jig-jig-jig! Where will it all end...!?)
Update 7/16/2022 Just received my router base kit, took a while to receive (congratulations on having such a successful start!). The parts in the kit are beautifully cut, everything was there. Hardware is great quality, hefty handles are just right, knobs are excellent - couldn't be happier, a great jig for a great price! (The handles had a small rough spot at the top joint where the 'cap' and handle meet, but a little sanding and some paste wax took care of that - yes, I'm pretty fussy about how my tools look and feel - others may not even notice or bother...) In any case - THANKS, Ms. Tamar, I now have awesome 2 jigs and am dancing a third jig with delight ; - )
Hahaha so meta 😂😂 so glad to hear that you love it!
Got mine about a month ago, but since I'm a truck driver that runs from Indiana to the Pacific Northwest 3 times a month, haven't had too much chance to use it yet, But what I have, it is absolutely amazing how much control it gives you. Think I am going to try to make one for my big Bosch router.
Just ordered one up to the great white north. Incredibly well thought out design and an incredibly versatile design that works amazing even as is, but I really like the fact that you encourage other people to come up with other attachments. Noticed in your shop that you also offer the plans for sale as well, so if folks already have access to the supplies/tools needed, they can bang one out themselves, which I thought was really great. Get everyone on this platform! Also I appreciate your shipping to Canada at a reasonable price. Cheers!
So glad you’re happy with it! Have fun!
It does not surprise me it’s sold out already. This fills a gap in the router accessory game like no other. Can’t wait to see what else you got.
I like watching the video compared to having to read instructions. Recived mine today and looking forward to puttting it to work. Best packaging of a product i have recived in a long time.
Have fun with it!
So glad I took the leap and bought it. This video just solidified my decision. I was going to pay $25 for a circle cutting template from Amazon to make speakers but with this, I can do sooooooo much more. Thanks!
Awesome!! So glad I made this video then!
I just received my router jig and can't wait for it to stop raining here in SO CA so I can use it! LOL Killer design, super well thought out and manufactured and explained wonderfully! One would be hard pressed to procure and assemble to this level of quality at the price you are providing this excellent tool! Thank you and very well done!
So awesome to hear. Have fun with it!
Router jig arrived a couple of weeks ago. Just started using it. Fantastic tool. I'm still a newbie when it comes to my router. This jig will go a long way to upping my skill level and confidence. Thanks Tamar for a great product!
I received the 6-in-one jig last week. Between this TH-cam, instructions emailed, and experimenting, it’ll be a great addition to my wood work shop! - Maker Hop Sing
An excellent, very versatile little jig.
One thought, however. A few months ago Stumpy Nubs made a video on the importance of using a router table starter pin when you are routing on a table without a fence. Perhaps for the next run you could add a threaded hole to the base so that the circle jig pin could be used as a starter pin if someone wants to use the jig as a router table.
Ive made a good living making custom furniture and cabinetry and I’ve been watching you for a Very long time and am just so happy for you and how far you’ve come. Congratulations on your success. Could not happen to a better person.
That’s so awesome to hear. Thanks so much! ☺️
Bought the jig, set it up with my Makita, had at it. Makes routing much easier, you don't have to worry about controlling the wobble, it's great. I got rid of my overengineered circle cutting jig, since this is so much easier to use. Stoked I got this.
Awesome to hear!
I feel like the views on this video are gonna skew the algorithm because I'm gonna reference this like 50 times until I memorize all the different ways to use this once I get it. Lol. Congrats again on this 👏👏👏👏
Mine just arrived today. I am so excited to use it! And peeling the paper film off was oddly satisfying after a long, frustrating day at work.
Haha glad you found it satisfying!
Tamar, a lot of people can learn how to repeat what someone else has already done. Few can figure out how it can be done better. I love your channel you are always full of great and practical ideas. Very happy for the success you rightfully deserve!
☺️☺️
Got my jig in about 5 days. Very nice quality and easy to assemble. Only hiccup was when I put on my Bosch colt, the screws sat a little proud. I carefully deepened the holes with a 5/16 forstner bit and now they are flush. Can't wait to use this on many projects. Was going to build a circle cutting jig. Now I don't have to
Had seen the original jig video. I never bought a trim router because of the small base. After I saw the jig video, I bought a trim router, my plastic, and went looking to buy the jig plans. By happy mistake, found the jig all done cheaper than the parts. I will find another use for the plastic. Got in the first order, can't wait to get it and put them together.
Loving that I got into the presale within hours of your video release on TH-cam advertising it. It's a game changer for me! You rock!
Awesome!
Thanks for this video. I have this jig on order, but belatedly realized that Bosch has two trim routers called Colt plus plunge bases. This video showing the screw hole patterns was shown just long enough to allow me to see the several Bosch combinations that the jig was designed for. Pretty much assures me that the jig will work for me.
Always enjoy your content. Great work!
Just got mine today and set it up on my Dewalt cordless. Very impressed with the quality, a great addition to any shop!
I have ordered this Jig to EU which is really great and very usefull tool and super easy to use. Tamar, thank you to share your woodworking skills with us. 😊
Awesome! Have fun with it!
Companys need to see this video. How to give proper instructions to customers 😝😝. Not just 15 pages of paper lol. I am one of the lucky ones. Congrats on the sold out sale 👊🏽 🇳🇱
Haha thanks! Glad you were one of the lucky ones!
Thank you Tamar, I was so pleasantly surprised, I ordered mine on the 16th of May and was delivered on the 24th. Wow…. I thought it will take couple weeks. Excellent service, about to put it to work this weekend.
Really happy for you on selling out the first run!! I was lucky, and ordered right after the previous video came out, and it got here 6 or 7 days later. Now, just to find time to play with it 🤣😂.
Got my jig today, looking forward to using it. Bonus was seeing you make the Death Star during the circle demonstration.
This is a game changer for me. I'm glad I'm in the first run. I've been afraid of using my trim router and this will give me freedom to enjoy it! Thanks so much!
Awesome! Excited for you to get it!
Awesome jig, and I might add that it has most features of many higher priced commercial versions. I would only recommend using a drop of (removable) Loctite to that threaded pin. Cheap insurance. I have lost (and then manufactured) a similar pin for router table plate.
FANTASTIC build, all around.
I love this jig. I put it on my old DWP611 and I am amazed at the increased control I have when routing. I like to make dovetail boxes and rabbit the inside of the top edge of the box to accept the lid. I cannot believe how much easier it is to rout the rabbits with the wide base and double handles on the jig. Thanks!
So awesome to hear!
I have ordered the jig. I think you must have uniquely high spatial visualization capabilities. to come up with this and all the custom jigs you use. This is pretty incredible.
Mine came in last week and I immediately used it to flush trim some dowel plugs. worked perfectly. thanks
Awesome!
Just got my jig today and it is epic. Sooooo many challenging efforts made easy by this bad bear. Can’t wait to find every trick! Thanks for a very useful product!
Received mine this week and already put it to use yesterday. Wow what control I now have and more safety, too. Tamar this is an excellently designed product and really an excellent value, too as I could not have produced this on my own anywhere near the cost and quality. Thank you!
Just received the ‘jig kit’! Crazy excited to make some sawdust! Additionally, thanks for this great video, wow is this a gamechanger for the guy that doesn’t have a router table!
Awesome. Have fun with it!
I'm looking forward to getting mine, you have made the setup clearer I'm sure. Put it this way if I get stuck, just watch this again. Glad I got the first run 🙂
Awesome. Glad it was helpful!
Awesome multi-function jig! By far the best jig for a router of many YT Clips I saw!
Just ordered one here to Germany. Many many thanks for the possible international shipping!
This is a very (!) useful jig. The extension arms are a nice bonus feature. This jig is a great vale compared to the time it woul take to make various “one-off” jigs for separate requirements, or fashioning something similarly adjustable. If you frequently do router work, you need this jig. Thanks Tamar for making the video demonstrating the utility of this jig!
So glad you like it!
Mine came in the mail today so as promised, I watch the video. A lot to digest and I'll be coming back to it often. Kudos on the idea of turning into a small router table. Extra benefit of making the portable work bench. I'm going to start practicing with it tomorrow. Aloha .... tjb
Hey there got my jig a few days ago. Can’t wait to get in my shop to try it out on new build. Lift top coffee table. Have no power at the moment cause the contractors finally started rebuilding my house from last years tornados. Neighbor says I can tap into their power for my shop though. Can I make a suggestion on packing though.. the paper wrap was torn on the base pieces but no scratches thank goodness. Everything else looked ok.
Thank you Tamar... I've ordered mine and I'm looking forward to receiving it in the new year! I hope you and the family have a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous 2023.
Hi Tamar!
I am amazed at the quality of the tools and devices you present to us!!
Here in Brazil! tools with this quality are very expensive!! Unfortunately!!
I will continue to watch your videos!! Are the best!!
Take care!!👏
At the risk of adding more holes and weakening the plate, it would be nice to have another set of grooves that allows to add a piece of wood that runs across as an adjustable fence. Would come in handy for those of us with no table routers. Thanks for all the work put on designing this jig.
Wait for a video of mine in a couple of weeks 😉
great product, was pleasantly surprised to receive it in less than a week when your presale launch vid and confirmation email said 4-6 week lead time. thanks so much!
Tamar, This is a great jig. i built it from your plans and everything went great until I went to use it for the first time. I had attached my Makita router with the plunge base as I felt this would be the most versatile setup. When I put on the edge guide piece, I couldn't get it close enough to the bit because the plunge base is bigger that the regular base and it gets in the way of the bolts to hold the edge guide. Not a problem to make another edge guide piece a little wider and the setup worked great. This is a well thought out and versatile setup, just needed some tweaking in my instance.
Thanks so much for your very thoughtful insights. Your explanations are clear and to the point. I have used many of your suggestions in my woodworking.
Tamar, I received my jig and I must say the quality is absolutely astounding! Great job at the amazing design and endless possibilities. I have not had a chance to get back into my wood shop but I will be using this awesome jig soon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us❤️❤️❤️
Tamar, the biggest selling point that you forgot to mention is it’s clear and you can see what your routing. I am waiting for my jig, I ordered day two and made the first run.
Yes!! Hopefully it will arrive soon!
Received mine a months ago and have been using it. Love how many optional ways to use it. You should be able to sell a lot of them. This a Fantastic jig set up. I keep rewatching how you are showing us to use it and that really makes the difference. You guys should look at the Festool one they make that no wan wants because its $405 be you guys could make us one for under a $100-$125. Its for there 1400 Router. Thank You
Well, Miss Tamar, I have just drilled another few feet of the "Rabbit Hole"!!!! I did'nt think I needed this jig until I watched the vid! Great job done by all! Congratulations!
Haha thanks!
Tamar ... Permission to watch this after I get mine, please. As always, I'm sure this video instruction is every bit as professional and informative as your previous ones. You never disappoint.
Haha permission granted 😂
Oh mannnn! It’s sold out !! I’m new to wood working but gotta have this !! Can wait till it becomes available.
Price was less than I expected, awesome! Thank you from us on a tight budget.
Awesome. We worked hard to get it that low 👍
I just ordered the jig on pre-order. This video and your color-coded instructions sheet that I just downloaded are perhaps the best explanation of a product I have ever seen. Great job! Can I point out that the part that looks like a baseball home plate is actually a pentagon, not a triangle, without sounding like a dweeb? I'm looking forward to receiving the jig. Keep up the innovating and the great videos. And keep working with Jonathan. I wear one of his aprons every day.
Watching you grow as a woodworker has been a real pleasure. All of us in this community are blessed that you are part of it. God only knows just how far your talent and intelligence will take you … I for one look forward to watching it. Cheers!
Cannot wait for them to be back in stock. So bummed that I missed the first run.
Definitely ordering at least 1!
I finally got mine set up, I live in New Zealand and the routers available are mostly different * than available in the US. I was able to purchase the equivalent of a DeWalt 611, model D26204K-XE, and it fit the 611 holes perfectly. I might check other routers that I run across overtime to help build a non-us list of routers. *Cordless routers seem to be the same, but wired ones are different. I am excited to use the jig.
Awesome. Glad it fit!
Excellent tutorial Tamar!👌
What better way to promote this jig than to simply show it's many uses.👍
The best part is actually encouraging people to go beyond the product and expand their own horizons.🤙
Can't wait to get my router template and try it!
Thank to both of you, Tamar and Jonathan, to have made a joint venture to help us getting better at woodworking!
i just got mine yesterday....so the timing of this video is perfect. can't wait to start using it!
Amazing. Have fun!
I just got mine in the mail. I have plans for shop cabinets with edge trim. I am excited to try cleaning them up with the jig.
Awesome!
Bought a router last year, with few projects in mind, but was intimidated when I unpacked the kit.
Now that I just saw this demo and plan to order the kit soon, I feel so much more confident, really!
Thanks Tamar for making those practical jigs and tools.
Keep your entrepreneurial skills expanding; they are so beneficial and make wood working way less intimidating for everyone!
I ordered the jig and received the email instructions as well. Thank you for the video, I am more of a visual learner and appreciate your sharing this information. I am excited to receive my jig. Tamar, you are awesome!
Great idea. As soon as I get this I can clean out a lot of jigs for my router which I use a lot. I will still keep your plans on how to make a router base just for nostalgia, lol.
😂😂
Just ordered it and am really looking forward to using it and honing my router skills, as I'm a newbie and crap at it 🤣
I am super excited in anticipation of receiving my order and can't wait to start using it. I also look forward to "all the ideas in my head."
Haha some may not be as good as others. But we shall see… 😂😂
Tamar you are a genius. I have a couple of projects this will be perfect for. I can’t wait to try it out.
