I wanted a mortising jig to set up quickly for small projects. I clamp it in my workbench. Like my dado jig, it uses a router with a template guide and any size bit. It’s not for production, but is easy to set up.
If you have any questions, ask away.

kent this is exactly what I have been saying see kent made his own jig and it works incredibly well.Why not I take my hat off to his attitude make the thing yourself don’t be told you always need to buy a jig or tool to do a job and also that if you don’t buy it your nothing (from the Simsons) anyway you rock kent way to go all American terms but suitable on this occasion.

Kent, I made a similiar one. They make mortising a breeze. I use a spiral upcut bit, works well. Great jig & well made.

I just built a tenon jig that works well…how would I go about building something like this? This looks like something I could setup very quickly.
