Shop made Mortise jig

Nov 11, 2006 7 Replies

Am looking for a shop made mortise jig used with a plunge router, which I am positive I saw in the Fine Woodworking magazine recently. This jig as I recall had more features than I wanted at the time, but now that I want to look at it again I can't fine it . Can anybody remember seeing it and tell me what volume of FWW it was in so I know I'm not just dreaming. Thanks.

Also remember seeing one in one of the wwing mags but can't find it either. It required a plunge router and an edge guide. Here's the one I put together than uses the same basic idea. The version in the article had the left ride stops ride between guides rather than a slot and alignment peg. They also combined the left and right 45 degree supports into one piece that came up from below to allow for different stock thicknesses.

In addition to Charlie's here's another one that is easy/quick to make:

plans for it are on FWW's subscription website, well worth the yearly price of admission as there a dozens of plans available, jigs and otherwise.

Very nicely made jig. Using the rockler cam-clamps for stops was a good touch.

Did you try searching for it using Tauton's FWW search engine?
