Small shop saves money with homemade jigs, Part I

Two set ups on the spindle moulder with a front and backstop on the fence would be about 10 times faster.

krob63 says he has to move the router table fence. I use spacers against the fence and simply remove the spacers as I need to move the router across the board. If I'm doing five small flutes 3"4 c-c apart, I set the fence to rout the flute in the center, then put two 3/4" spacers clamped to the fence. Run flutes 1 and 5. Remove 1 spacer, run flutes 2 and 4. Remove the other spacer, rout flute 3. All I need is stop blocks. Done in half the time (or less) of this procedure.

If this is faster, how were you doing it before? Cutting grooves on the saw, manual setups on the jig, screwing the board down. Not to mention it is a large jig and the router has to be mounted everytime.

Why not simply use a router table?

Seems like you do way too many steps to setup for just one pass through with router. How is this jig helping you? A jig is suppose to help you simplify your work not add to it. Lame video and lame process.

Be faster on a router table

Guys))))So much afforts and almost Zero result?

I was making some fluted columns yesterday using a router table by constantly adjusting the fence. It was a pain in the butt. I like your jig. It would have saved me a lot of time.

Replace a Cnc Router? You must have a really shitty CNC table if you think this is a faster way
