Mortising Jig

Project by Kent Shepherd posted 182 days ago 1498 views 14 times favorited 12 comments Add to Favorites Watch

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.

Jim, I’ll make yours out of bubinga. Only $400 + Shipping Or maybe I’ll give you the professional discount because you’re such a nice guy.

Thanks, guys, for all your positive comments.

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.
