  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
