Just came across this oddity

Small custom shops used those. I had a Stanley router just like the one in the picture.

Years after those were no longer available I had to make a few doors with the curves routed into the corners. No fun without the jig .

My research showed the same. A style maker from a decade long passed.

Today this would be relatively easy with a CNC.

I think he's got one too many zeros in his price. From my memory, that jig (without the router) sold for less than half what he's asking for it now, and even with the obsolete router included, the jig isn't worth anywhere near what he's asking for it. I've seen them sell for $50-75 in the last few years.

This pic tells me everything I need to know about this jig. Don't need it! Sloppy operator, or sloppy jig... Not sure, but wow. That is one wobbly route.

not to mention the rounded corner on the outside and the square corner on the inside - gross.
