This is a simple Jig to make and works great for making repeatable mortises. The table I’m building will have a cross brace in the center made with a lab joint. The cross brace will connect to the legs with 2 inch mortise and tenon joints.

Thanks for sharing with us Jon. Good information. Fred.
Love your content Jon in all of your videos. Just shows you a jig is more than a dance.
Thanks for sharing. Felix
Great technique tip, Jon~! Thanks for sharing~!
Good jig, easy to make and obviously works well, thank you.
Nice work. I will be building this jig soon. Thanks for sharing
Love your technique. Thanks.
Excellent design. simple to make and use, very effective
Great tips on jig construction.
A nice little jig there, Jon.
Awesome work Jon! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Gonna be a cool table
Bravo Jon 💯💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great tool and work!
Hello, your work are interesting. Thanks for prodution.
1:48 that spider hops out like bro I was sleepin in there maaaaan
Nice eye catch!
Yeah I did a double take, thinking "he must be at my shop..."
That router bit is a monster, good idea to protect yourself lol
Nice jig.
Thank you Jon
Great idea
Great job on the mortising jig Jon! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
Thanks JP!
Your very welcome Jon! Have a wonderful week!😎
Those are some hefty mortise and tenons.
I used to dred putting the work in to make jig for a project. I learned that, especially when batching out large numbers of parts, a well made jig is well worth the time. This one looks no different. Can't wait do see the other videos and final project. Also, when measuring your guide bushing did mean to say '3/4 inch guide bushing'? I think you said 3/4 collet when in the video you were measuring the guide bushing. That would be a monster collet that I'd like to get. Except that my router's shaft is 3/4 inch inside diameter, so, a loss for me. 😊
I'm used to larger, corded routers th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
Fairly new to woodwork, projects so far ok but a bit rustic. Like the way you make it easier to do accurate woodwork. This looks the ideal way to do mortises on 4 X 4 legs for my first workbench. Perhaps you could show us how to modify this to do it on the ends of rails and stretchers. It would then be so easy to join the pieces with loose tenons. Thanks again, another great video.
Fenómenal man
Очень хороший вариант,спасибо
Exelente maestro
Excellent👍👍👍👍
Excellent, Jon! As always!
Very simple and functional jig. It looks like I found what I was looking for. Thanks Jon for sharing this valuable video.
Every time I watch you especially with the router I think I have to use it for more then the simple stuff I use my beautiful Bosch router for. Thanks for the push. You have made me alot of money by using your framing vids thx.
great jig what if you working with small stock do you have to make different jig
P.s. I really liked your video. Looks like a nice table that will last forever
FWIW, Banggood has an attachment for a handheld trim router to use for morticing. It's about 100 bucks, but if you already have a trim router, you may find it cheaper than buying a morticer.
Hello Peters, i use biscuit to join boards but the edge between boards Still have some 1mm difference. i dont have planer so i use bottom clean router bit to flat the board. but it ends up warp the surface. do u have other suggestion to remove those small height difference?
Cool 😎
You do amazing work brother. I'm so inspired. I do TH-cam videos to. Love the TH-cam community. We have 1,207 subscribes
You didn't cover how you came up with the width of the slot to come up with the anticipated mortise width.
Very cool. Novice question was there a complimentary jig for the tenon portion?
Thanks, no I used the table saw
Mr Peters would you write wood type in description of videos (walnut, poplar etc)
Good video! Where did you get the idea to use the stagger tooth plunge bit from Amana? Never seen this kind of bit before. I'm wondering how do they compare to 2 or 4 flutes spiral bit. I have to make mortises (2 1/2" deep) in baltic plywood, not sure if I should go with a stagger or spiral bit.
i have the same doubt :(
The upcut spiral bit will clear the chips out much better and leave a cleaner mortise. It will be much more expensive. The Baltic Birch or any plywood will be very hard on the bit due to resins in the glue and alternating nature of the grain. In this application a stagger bit is probably better suited.
I saw your video and thought it might solve my dilemma. I want to make / use a jig to cut the slots in the wood for a Star Wars “Death Star walls”. Similar to what you did here, but repeatable cut, at different lengths to achieve the design on the same piece of wood. Do you have and recommendations?
Sure if the width is the same you can change the length bye using screws ... it’s kind of hard to explain but if you watch my video on how to install the Soss hinge I think it will become clear. Search Jon Peters Soss hinge on TH-cam To find it
great jig and video, but can't see your plan when I click the link
Nicely done Jon! Looks like a great jig. However, how do you determine the opening size needed to cut the mortise in order to match the tenon? Also, I take it that you would need to make other jigs if you are using different thicknesses of wood? Just curious......
Steve you are correct, this jig was specific to this size wood only as well as the router bushing and bit combo. To this, I would have liked if Jon laid this out further so as to be able to make our own using the combos we had.
How deep does the mortise go?
That is a 3/4" bushing. The collet is 1/2" so that's how the router holds the 1/2" bit
Why not use the shop vac to suck out the chips, a lot less messy!
the guide bush measures 3/4" of an inch :)
Dude 4:00 Use a vacuum instead of blowing the crap everywhere.
3:21 where I can find a “bushing” like this in order to use it with the long router bit??...do you have a link for?
Thanks
Anyone have an idea??
It is not the length of the bit but the diameter that counts in regards to what size bushing to use. Don't forget that you need the appropriate clearance between the bushing and the bit.
The length of your bit depends on your router and it's available plunge depth.
Not a three-quarter collet but a bushing.
Jon, good vid as always. But for productivity sake would recommend to reach out to your sponsor and get the Festool Domino. Game Changer
Nice. As I've looked around to cut these you have sevral options, as useful as this jig is. Its only use is to cut the size mortise you need for that project unless you find a way to cut a differnt size by adding differnt shims. However you can take this concept and give it more adjustability with moving stops and changing sides. Your not always going to want a mortise cut that size and with your set of guides for the router and other bits you can cut 1/8" and up mortise to any length lets say a tables stretchers are 3" x2" and you only want a
1" floating tenon as it is this jig wont work, but its usability can be made to do the table you made or the proposed stretcher i said if it has adjustable built in. Why make a one trick pony when you can build a stable of horses.
Then you'll only have to make one and it will come in handy on other projects.
Ok you can buy sevral differnt machines that do this I know, this is a shop made souloution whos got 3k 2k or 1k bucks to drop on one of these machines I dont.
So you find a different way thats cheaper
But if you do lets make it do sevral sizes
Otherwise you have a jig on the wall to only do one project with.
I dont have the room to store 5k jigs
So it would go into the fire place.
But if I can take that tool and use it on a lot of different projects, im going to keep it in my toolbox and use it.
And honestly I belive you would too.
I mean you've got an Amana bit that wasn't cheap so you do a lot of projects
Im not knocking the idea its a good souloution but it can be better.
That table saw looks a little worn
Hmm... a bit of explanation about mortise width and the opening dimensions should've been included. That would've made the time I spent watching this video actually worthwhile.

Lol you are holding the router backwards. That plastic shield is for your face.
Feel good now?
Using as a shield? Are we to the point now where you will be wearing a helmet when you drive? How about a fire suit?
Hey, we found one of the Down-Voters...
