Building a Simple:
heart of the jig and serve two purposes. First, theyre used to easily and accurately position the mortise in the workpiece by allowing you to reference the cut off one edge. Second, the two guides sandwich the workpiece snugly to give you steady control of the router as the mortise is being cut. This makes it possible to cut accurate mortises in even very narrow stock. First, the Baseplate. Now let me give you the short course on how to build the jig. As shown in the drawing, the auxiliary
baseplate is cut to size from 14" hardboard. (You could substitute 14" plywood or phenolic.) The long rectangular shape gives you more stability and allows for longer guides. I used the standard baseplate to locate the countersunk holes for the attachment screws and a centered hole for the bit. Youll want to use the largest Forstner bit in the shop to drill the center hole. This will give you a better field of view around the bit while routing. Two slots in the baseplate, along with carriage bolts and wing nuts, allow you to adjust and tighten down the guides. The 5"long slots let the jig accommodate a wide range of workpieces. After routing the slots with a straight bit in the router table, I screwed the baseplate to the router. The Guides. Next, I cut the two guides from "-thick hardwood. Youll notice that theyre a little longer than the baseplate. This simply makes them easier to grasp and adjust when the router and jig are resting on the workpiece. Once the guides are cut to size, youll need to drill a pair of counterbored bolt holes through each one. The spacing of the holes in the guides should precisely match that of the slots in the baseplate. When installed, you want be able to adjust them easily on the baseplate. And that brings us to the final step. Sink a carriage bolt firmly into each hole, pass the ends through the slots in the baseplate and add washers and wingnuts. All you need is a bit in the router and youre ready to go to work.
