Photo by Al Parrish The Joint Maker This horizontal router jig has a table that slides in four directions, turning a router into a joint-making monster. by Nick Engler Nick Engler, the author of more than 50 books on woodworking, has built a replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer, the first true airplane, and is now working on the 1905 Flyer. This horizontal routing jig, which I call "Joint Maker," holds the router to one side of the work. This setup offers several advantages over a standard router table for certain operations: • You have more control when making mortises - you can rest the part on its face and feed the edge into the bit. • When making tenons, the rotation of the bit doesn't pull the work sideways as it does on an ordinary router table. Instead, you cut directly against the rotation. • And if you use vertical panel-raising bits, you'll find that with the panel resting flat on the worktable, gravity works for you. popwood.com 77 |
