Popular Post KenMasco Posted January 15, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Saw this on U tube. Made mine from scraps. Works like a dream. I replaced the F clamps with Armor P7 HH Auto adjust hold down dog clamps. They work much better and faster than the F clamps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I must be missing something here. Where is the piece to receive the mortise and how to you hold it in place? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardA Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 So, you're making domino holes with a router. Do I see that correctly? Seems to me, you could just spring for the Domino, and use your jig for firewood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or buy a few more routers, an assortment of bits, and have a really versatile arsenal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ken, where is the adjustment that allows you to center your cut on the board? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks for the additional pic. That's a fancy version of what I use. I like the track for the stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMasco Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 K Cooper, the positioning of the bit is done with the routers fence adjustment. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyL Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 That's a great looking jig, and very similar to one that I had made before going with a Leigh FMT Pro. I went with the FMT because I was facing a job that required over 1600 mortise and tenon joints. The job easily paid for the jig, but when it was all over I think it could have been done with the shop made jig and floating tenons, but it likely would have taken a bit longer. I was mostly concerned with the repeatability of the shop made jig. The FMT made it easy, and was very accurate and repeatable. No tenon stock to make either. When I was using my shop made jig I was making my tenon stock using my planer, and making the stock in thicknesses to match the diameter of the router bits that I was using. Then I was cutting the floating tenons from this stock on the table saw as I needed them. This worked very well, with almost no waste.
