Draingin Board Router Jig

[Jake]

Hi All,

We've just installed a Belfast-style kitchen sink with an iroko worktop. We used a jigsaw to cut out for the sink and now we need to make the "draining board" area.

I've seen a special router jig on Screwfix.com for =A3100.

know of a cheaper alternative or if they are available for hire...

The cheapest alternative is to make your own jig; it's only a slotted board with one end propped up on a block! If you make your own then you can decide the pattern of the grooves; parallel, in a fan, curved, or a combination of all these. You can cut the slots with your router or, by drilling the ends of the slots first and joining the holes with a jigsaw.

This is something I was thinking of doing and probably what I'll end up with if no cheap alternative is suggested.

Thanks Mr Fuxit. I hadn't thought about fanning it out.

I jus cant believe the prices they are charging for the vast majority of these jigs, ludicrus.

You could try

- I've used them in the past to make various jigs for me. You would need to let them know size etc that you looking for - but other than that they'll make pretty much what you like
