thank you very much for this page. I'm going to build as many of these jigs as I need. I love to watch u work with my own music, I speak for many when I say I have terrible OCD so sometimes you "tease" that with your "clean-cut" work. It's almost too perfect to watch. :) keep them coming!!
This is my favorite version of this type of adjustable router jig that I've seen. Many of the others out there overcomplicate--with clamping systems, or adding stops for mortises at a given length. or just over-engineering the simple concept. All that's fine, but if you just need a variable width dado routing jig, this is the way to go.
Very very nice, but what if you need to put a bigger diameter bit on the router? In this case you'd have to have narrower sliding faces or get the two pieces more apart from each other (what would get the router kinda "loose" inside the router sled, right?!)
I’ve liked all of the videos that you have produced. I’ve bought some aluminum angle and just have to decide which project to build first. Decisions, decisions. Keep them coming.
Wow!! I just found this gem of a job. The professionalism, presence of mind, meticulousness, and attention speaks much louder than anyone could have said. Now I will watch it again, and again, and again, and then I'll try it. I am subscribed to this channel. More like this will do me a lot of good. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, this is good and thanks for posting, and forgive me if I’ve missed something, but surely you’ve missed a trick here in that I thought you were going to sit your router exactly WITHIN the two aluminium tracks (ie they are FIXED to the width of the router to allow the router to ‘run’ along them). If you had, you could then have routered out a wider slot (for argument 30mm) which would have meant that you could have made mortises up to that width (ie 30mm) and, obviously, down to as small as, say, 6mm with the same machine because the router would still be running within the same track. All you would need to do would be to mark the centre line of the mortise on your pre-routered wood and then fit a suitably sized bit into the router and cut the slot. The aluminium tracks would always ensure the centre of the router runs along the centre line of the marked timber......anyway, your vid has given me that idea to make one for myself but amend it as described above. 👍🏴
Yep, I think you missed the point. It would be easy to make a fixed jig for a router to fit between two rails, then make dados at the width of whatever bit you put in. But--lining it up on the work piece is a pain, and you're limited to the size bits you have. The beauty of this style is it can make any width dado up to the size you build the jig for, using the same bit, and it's easily align-able with the dado line on the work piece and easy to get the proper dado width using the piece you plan to fit in the slot.
It looks like you're a fan of JSK-koubou's channel! I am too. Some of the tools and jigs here are similar to his, and your video presentation style is similar as well.
Отлично! Я бы еще усилил МДФ перед уголком. Добавил бы брусок или квадратную профильную трубу. Чтобы не прогибалась в середине вся конструкция на мелких заготовках.
Hi Человек! thank you. It works great. I was thinking of making the base thicker as well but on the other hand it takes away from the bit length. So it would be a trade off. Great point though, thanks.
There is not dumb question, it took me some time myself. :) yes, double sided tape. But beware, some tapes are too strong and they might tear the wood fibers. A few pieces of a tape along the board should be sufficient.
Siempre he dicho que todo lo que quieran enseñar es estupendo pero en ningun momento se muestra o se indica una medida o un plano para los inexpertos eso es esencial y ese momento da la sensacion que se hacen cosas solo por un like un abrazo desde chile espero mi comentario sirva gracias
I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
saw this video first time very useful jig i can use in my sow going to myself one of these!! " great work" love your videos already subscribed also planing on building the saw guide keep those videos coming!! also if i can fine locally that drill guide from wolfcraft??
Hello Gerald, thank you for the compliments I am glad you like the video and the jig. 👍 Thanks for the support. As for Wolfcraft - I am using hold down clamp from this company. They offer a variety of these and they DO hold ;) If you are referring to the drill press stand that one is not from Wolfcraft. Unfortunately the one I have is really one the cheap ones on the market, it does the job but it is painful sometimes to set it up. Did you mean something different? Stay safe!
Dear, I noticed that with an MDF length of 70 cm minus 64.5 cm for the aluminum bracket, only 5.5 cm in total remained on both sides. The description says that the width of the wood should be 2.9 cm each. That does not fit. I also noticed that the MDF body should be 70x19x0.5 cm. If you want one half to be 9.3 cm wide, how can such a large piece be left in the video? Or do you have to saw 2 pieces of 70x19x0.5 cm? Thanks for reply.
Thanks De, great comment and thanks for noticing. I'll make changes in the description accordingly. I don't have the jig with me atm but I'll get back to you with your question. Thanks.
Great jig. Could you please tell me which DeWalt router model that is? I am in the market for a smaller plunge router and that looks like a pretty good one. Thanks!
Ho costruito la guida seguendo le tue indicazioni ma purtroppo non funziona,mi spiego...se devo fare un canale diciamo 18 mm.e uso una fresa più grande della 6 (quella che hai usato tu) la fresa mi taglia anche la base del jig,inoltre, andando in battuta sul lato opposto anche lì la fresa taglia la base e viene una fresata più larga dei 18 mm.Dove sbaglio? Oppure questa guida posso usarla solo con la fresa del 6 come nel video? Ti ringrazio se mi rispondi e complimenti per il canale.
Hi Tiziana, thank you for the comment and the support. Unfortunately you cannot change router bits. This guide works only with the 6mm bit (or the one you build it with). Switching to another one would ruin the base as you say. It would have been nice if one could change the bits freely (good idea for another creation). Anyway, Tiziana, you are not mistaken. Thank you for pointing this out. Stay safe.
Hello Marzuraan, that is right. Though there is a chance you can cut in the board when you pull the router away from the jig before waiting until it fully stops.
Hello There, I like your built. Quick question, Do you build a different jig for each router bit you have? How do you get around using a wider bit? Since your cutting diameter would be slightly different and it would cut the edge of the guide? Maybe I am missing the logic, planning to build a jig but I have different bits with different diameters and wanted to see how your jig would address that?
Hello Ali Oner. The jig can be used with one router bit only. A wider bit would ruing the jig a narrower one would not cut fully to the edge. I have 2 jigs for the bits I am using most. I was building a more "universal" jig that could accommodate multiple bits but not yet done with that one. At a certain point the jig got ruined.
Hi Ali, I hope you don't mind me throwing my two cents in. There are a ton of variations of this type of jig out there. Allflavor Workshop's jig is one of the cleanest and appears to be one of the easiest to build. One thing they all mention is that when you make your cut with your router bit, you are essentially creating a zero clearance for the bit to ride in. The same bit MUST be used each time or you will ruin the jig. I have seen suggestions of using a 1 1/2 inch shank plunge bit. Hope this helps.
just came across you router guide. Verry well done and demonstrated. Question : can you use different cuttingtools or only the one you used to make the jig ?🤔👌👍
Hi Hans, thank you. For this build only the one it has been built with from the start. Unfortunately other ones would ruin the jig. I am planning on making a more universal jig that could be used with multiple router bits.
Hi Vince. thanks for the comment and the support. Valuable input. I will be publishing this information on my webpage. I also would like to add this info in inches as well. I know it might not be easy to orient in metric since you're used to inches but please use a converter for now. Thanks Vince 😉👍
Need to possibly make ones fixed for each of the common thickness dimensions of sheet goods that are used in making cabinet carcasses and other projects requiring dado joints. Or, buy a couple of truly killer carbide plow bits for hogging plywood dadoes and have the jigs built for use with those dedicated bits. Either way, not a big deal at all. These components are very inexpensive and the project is simple. The question I have is layout, line up and clamping so things can't move around when you rout. Nice projects. Thumbs up and subscribed.

Thank you Samir, much appreciated.
Nice. Simple, cost worthy and effective.
I changed the black sole of my router with a round one. This has the advantage, there is no priority of a side.
Great tip Hans, thank you!
I am relatively new at this so please forgive a dumb question. How do you keep your piece in place? Do you use double sided tape?
There is not dumb question, it took me some time myself. :) yes, double sided tape. But beware, some tapes are too strong and they might tear the wood fibers. A few pieces of a tape along the board should be sufficient.
Amazing Job I will make one of these TY
Thanks Ed. Appreciated

Thank you! :)
Wow! Just one question...do u have to u use always the same router bit or you can change it? Thanks
Hello Lore, I always need to use it with one exact router bit - in this case a 6mm router bit.
You could use larger router guide bushing.
I like the way you do things. Got a subscriber.
Thank you Abner, much appreciated. 👍
Nice work mate well done : thanks for the tips 👍

Hi, what kind of drill press are you using? Looks like one you can insert a hand-held drill.
Hi Colin, that is true. I am using a drill stand for a 43mm drill neck.

was that a hole saw bit you used to make the gear bolt? What size was it? Thanks
Hello Samad, I believe the gear is 35mm, and cut out with a hole saw bit and then the small cutout to form the star know were made with a Forstner bit
Muito bom mesmo valeu a pena 👍
Great jig. Could you please tell me which DeWalt router model that is? I am in the market for a smaller plunge router and that looks like a pretty good one. Thanks!
Very meticulous! A-1 job!
Thank you LJA 👍
Can anyone tell me what size screws and washers I would need for this? My MDF is about 1/4 " thick
I was using 4mm screws. But you can also use longer ones and sand them on the other side.
Bonjour vous utilisez toujours le même diamètre de fraise ?
Fantastic 👍🏻
How to you keep the wood from moving when cutting? The guide is on top, doesn’t it kick the wood ?
Nice work!
Thank you Walter. I appreciate it! 😊
awesomeness
Thank you!
Hello. Is there only one cutter size? What is yours?
Could this jig be used with all sized router bits ?
Unfortunately it cant. It can be used only with the one router bit you use for the creation of the jig
Hi could you tell us what king of a hole saw did you used to cut the knobs

Hi there! I am using hole saws from Wolfcraft. As for these knobs I used a 39 diameter hole saw. Hope that helps. Thanks! 👍

Wouldn't router bit hit the edges of the jig while drilling over time making them not straight?
Nevermind that question. I just realized that it can only happen if you you use a thicker size bit

A lot of effort for a jig that only has one use. You can't use larger bits because you've made it to suit that one bit. 🤷♂️
Suits one bit, yes.
