    You could also inlay some T-track into the fixed side you run the edge guide against and have easily adjustable stops built into the jig.

    Innovative thinking in an area that would seem saturated already. That jig is worth trying. And I'd like to add that connecting routers to dust collection makes quite a surprising difference in ability to see your work, keeping your cut clean, and keeping your bit cool.

    On the left side, where you lined the board up to the edge,
    glue a 1 inch piece of wood for 3/4 ply
    or 1/2 inch for 1/4 ply
    to the edge so that it protrudes 1/4 inch above the base, you will have a natural stop to insure your boards always line up.
    Just make sure you clean out any wood chips in that area before placing the next board to be mortised..

    Stumpy, nice clear explanation, as always. Except - the router bit pic you chose to illustrate is the polar opposite of what you correctly state is the best bit for the job. Shown is a DOWN-cut spiral bit, useful for providing a shear cut that does not lift veneer, but presses it flat to the surface with a clean, no-fuzz result.

    Do you have a video showing your router edge guide? The PORTER-CABLE 42690 Edge Guide. It looks interesting. Wondering it it can work on other routers. I already have the M Power router guide because of you using it. I love it but it's more fiddly than that Porter-Cable one looks for basic operations.

    • @StumpyNubs
      @StumpyNubs  5 лет назад +1

      I love the m power. I use the PC or the Bosch for simple cuts. The Bosch is my favorite but it won't fit on the PC router. You'll have to do a Google search to find out how far apart the holes on a PC router are to know if the guide will fit yours. But I recommend the Bosch if it will fit. It's also on sale right now 1/2 off. Use the link below the video.

  • @donmilia5626
    @donmilia5626 5 лет назад

    Fantastic ! Can you tell me if the Bosch edge guide can also fit Porter Cable hole spacing. Seems that there is a provision for the narrower hole spacing in the PC units but cannot be sure.

    • @StumpyNubs
      @StumpyNubs  5 лет назад

      No. But the PC guide I linked to will.

  • @Cactustone
    @Cactustone 5 лет назад

    Thanks for this video! Just followed the link to order the Bosch router guide. It was on sale for 1/2 price! This video could not have come at a better time for me. Been using a jig of my own with great effect. Question: I have several Whiteside upcut bits (which I love), but I'm looking for a really long one to make mortises for through tenons on a workbench (5+ inches). Zeb Whiteside recommended the 1073-01, but it is not a spiral upcut design. What do you use for super deep mortices? Cheers!

    • @StumpyNubs
      @StumpyNubs  5 лет назад

      Up cut is best. But if you can't get one long enough, you can get by with straight. Sometimes you can stretch a bit's reach by sliding it out of the collet, as long as you have an inch inside the collet to grip it.

  • @fredfreitag7232
    @fredfreitag7232 2 года назад

    IMHO - a better and cheaper way to go is - get a dowel jig. Dowels are easy and cheap to make or buy - so not spending time on that. Dowels come in various lengths. Dowels come in various diameters. Dowels are a form of "loose tenons". Dowels can be used in through applications. Dowels can be lined up in rows or columns as the need be. If you're in the business - then probably a Festool Domino would be the choice given the speed. For a part-time user - a dowel jig is by far cheaper and allows some different applications.

    • @StumpyNubs
      @StumpyNubs  2 года назад

      Better is a matter of opinion (I don't dispute the strength of well done dowel joinery), but how would a dowel jig be "cheaper" than this homemade solution?

    • @fredfreitag7232
      @fredfreitag7232 2 года назад

      @@StumpyNubs First, let me say I enjoy watching your various videos. Second, one can also make a dowel joint jig too - actually cheaper and easier. All one really needs is a couple blocks of wood. I have seen multiple dowel joint jigs on RUclips. A centering dowel joint jig, a dowel joint jig that also can "cross dowel", multiple row jigs, etc. Then one doesn't even need a router (although I have multiple routers). It's just so easy and cheap using dowels and a hand drill. Thanks for responding!

    Sorry for being blunt, but... How about actually using the dust collection capabilities of your router? If not for your lungs, it also vastly improves visibility, stops chips from clogging up your cut, and keeps your shop cleaner.
