- I watched the video of the Samurai Carpenter where he made a simple router jig for cutting joinery on big pieces. I really liked it and built my own version.

Samurai Carpenter Jig: • WOODWORKING JOINERY JI...
Enjoy the video!
I'm used to larger, corded routers ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
A trick with the threaded holes is to soak them with thin CA and spray with accelerator. Hardens the threads and they last forever. Love the jig. Awesome work!
If you need more hold you can always use threaded inserts
Bobby another trick- fill the thread hold half way up with 2 part penetrating epoxy, than wax the treads of the bolt -run the bolt in for a few seconds than back out, the bolt forces the epoxy into the treads/wood. Not as fast as CA but very strong P.S. clean bolt threads
The magnet washer trick - I've never seen that. Brilliant!
Mr Wandel did it
where was it?
Trick is fine and I seen it already and like it, good job.
But to be honest, here it seems to me a bit too much. It's OK for place where I do expect to change washer, but in this application ? I would expect the washer to be there .. well .. forever? Or, and it's still possible, I'm missing some important point :-).
Anyway, thank you for the idea worth spreading and I'm going to redesign my one custom base (more slots and knobs from top).
Tom Silver In normal use, the knobs come out, and they go back in. He showed you that in the video. Watch the video. He showed you that in the video. Watch the video.
@@arlingtonhynes Knobs are cheap and so are washers. Just epoxy a washer onto the knob and move on. The baseplate concept is excellent and the notched out fence is exactly the add-on that I did after seeing the samurai one.
Nice to see a good young carpenter that isn't arrogant and over confident.
AWESOME redesigns!!!!!! Love the embedded magnets & the way you can switch slots when you run out of room from the top, brilliant!!!!!👍👍
Awesome video. Thanks for the jig. I decided to make one. I only could find 1/4 in (6mm) polycarbonate. I dont have a cnc so used a router to mill the slots. This proved tricky as all the bits i had did not do a good job. Tried double flute straight bits 1/4 and 1/2 inch bit did not work well. Spiral 1/4 and 1/2 in bits and did not work either. The perfect bit for this was metal spiral bits with 6 flutes. Worked perfectly. Very clean cuts. The metal bit has a rounded end and eats polycarbonate like butter. Thanks again for this video
It also occured to me that for routing centered grooves/holes, instead of the guides you can attach two round pins to the template equidistant from the bit, and turn it until they meet, just like a center finder... but only if the hole isn't too close to the end of the work piece.
@Marius - Nice refinement of the Samurai Carpenter's Jig. and thank you for the diagrams. Just downloaded a set tonight. Much appreciated.
This is a really clever tool idea; which is also compact and portable. M8 screw threads in wood work well. But also look at even coarser threads. Lining them with Wood glue and letting it set is another idea a friend taught me.
Brilliant ideas in here. Since you have silk those edge slots to use, you can also make handles or knobs for grabbing onto and pushing on and stick anywhere you want the help!
awesome. i will be doing this! i like the slotted holes so much better than fussing with the samurai's original design with dozens of countersunk screw holes. i think i'll use extruded aluminum rails with t-bolts instead of hardwood though and i'll put a strip of UHMW tape on the faces of the extrusion so that they glide nicely.
The shop-made knobs are fantastic. No matter how great the project, I just couldn't get over how nice and professional the knobs look. Concerning the threads, I believe you should give a good look to threaded inserts. They will eventually wear off the wood where they are threaded, but they will certainly last well beyond what any threads directly on wood will.
My wife used your file to cut one out on her laser engraver. It works great. Thank you.
Nice! Add a locking handle that runs in a track on the side of the guide fence so that you can adjust it back and forth along the guide fence.
Marius it’s a pleasure watching you making all your jigs.
Brilliant idea by Samurai Carpenter, brilliant execution by Marius
Thanks for sharing. That jig can also be made to fit in a router table so that there is no setup time. Also, with all the fences removed from, this jig can be used to make router boxes (boxes cut using a template, with the boxes having curved sides)
I watched the same Video last month, but made the same base as yours. I don't have CNC so cut my slots on my router table. Its amazing how different people can have the same idea. I really like what You both do, Thank you.
Haha, cool
I was trying to think of a way to improve Samurai's version. Yours is the perfect solution!
As a chair maker by trade, I am super impressed with this jig!
Very nice, and nice change to the threaded holes with the knobs. I recently did a project where I had to drill and tap about 150 10-24 holes in polycarbonate so this is right on my wavelength right now. I might have enough scrap to make my own!
joinery popping when pulled apart gives me so much joy :-P
Absolutely agree with Etna. Your videos are exceptionally more professional and less ego than Samurai carpenters, who has no professionalism.
Super, dass du die DXF und so zum Download bereitstellst. Hat prima funktioniert.
thx for your plans Marius et thx for your job !
You earned my subscription with this video. Excellent jig. The Samarai Carpenter created a BRILLIANT idea you you improved it. Thanks for sharing.
Love the magnet to hold the washer, that is super cool. Good video, wish I had a CNC.
Excellent improvement on the Samurai Carpenter's jig. Although I don't have a CNC I will be building one soon. Great video, thanks!!
I 've just put together my CNC and I will use it for real now . thanks to you!
Very well done. I don't have the CNC but with a little patience I think I can replicate your excellent design.
GREAT project. I like the fact that you can move the base and not the router.
Your jig is much better then the one from Samurai. Easier and quicker to adjust. Job well done
Thank you so so so much for freely posting your files. I was able to send them directly to my local CNC shop and have it cut in an hour!
Very good improvement to a great tool, I was planning to make something like Jessie as well so thanks.
Thank you. This is a great collection of improvements on a great idea.
Super umgesetzt und prima Zeichnungen angeferdigt. Freue mich schon auf weitere Videos.
Hab das teil schon oft auf YT gesehen, nur ohne Anleitung, deine Lösung gefällt mir auch sehr gut!
Nice upgrade! I built Jessie's version a while ago, but I love your improvements, so think I'll have to update mine now.
Like your upgrade of Samurai's version. Mostly enjoy that you show us how to make the plate without arrogance.
Outstanding presentation, well thought out design and provided drawings free! Class act Marius. Thank you for sharing your work.
Hi Marius that’s the perfect tool for a slot that I have to put in the centre of a box I’ve made,will have to make one now. Superb video as usual.
Your home made knob looks like a bought one. Impressive idea with the magnet too. Good work and thanks for the video. Cheers, David
Awesome job. Way to take jig to another level.
Marius, your skill and ability blows me away. Your future is very bright and prosperous, thanks for sharing your ideas. Merry Christmas
Great design and craftsmanship.
I am going to try this. I just bought a piece of 1/2 x 12 x 12 polycarbonate on eBay for $25 delivered.
Now if I only had a CNC machine! LOL! Good adaptation, now I will have to adapt.
Awsome Germany efficiency, Loved it
Thanks for providing the files for this!! I easily found someone locally to laser cut it for me so no chamfering needed.
Great design and upgrades. Thanks for sharing.
Seriously superb. So smart with the more versatile solution. I watched the samurai carpenter version which was awesome. But this is exquisite.
Nice! You should make some handles to put on the base plate so you can hold them to control the router. Rather than holding the Perspex.
Awesome jig improvement...thanks for sharing!
That's awesome. Great crossover of means, methods and materials.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Jedidiah Elijah Instablaster ;)
@Mohammad Samir Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Mohammad Samir it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Jedidiah Elijah No problem xD
Absolute genius, Marius - I prefer your design to that of the samurai Carpenter - especially the locating holes (with the tapping out of the wood) guide rails. It's a brilliant concept, & once again, you don't disappoint :D
It's really good of you for making it open-source =)
Lovely fixture
Thanks for the plans of the Baseplate. What a nice Tool.
Will build this for my Triton router ;-)
And also for my Bosch POF 1400 ACE ;-)
What kind of thread cutter (Gewindeschneider) did you use for the M8 thread?
Nice, I like the changes you made to his version. 🙂
Thank you for a great jig
I Always enjoy your videos. Even without the "snap to completion" or "snap to correcting yourself", you're videos are quite entertaining. Love the content and innovative technique in modifying this design. 👍👍
Very skilful ! I'll be making this. Thanks
You could reduce the size of the slots around the edge (to clear a 1/4-20 inch or M6 thread) and make it into a T-slot, and add handles for surface-work where you can see through your base plate. Nice revision to the already awesome samurai version!
You could add a knob into the base plate in an unused slot (6:03) to make it easier to hold onto.
What a great jig, i am going to build one soon for my router.
Nice job! Very good upgrade. Will certainly do this on mine.
A brilliant build as always Marius, you are a very talented young man with an eye for detail, thanks for posting, from Garry in the UK
Hi, das ist wirklich mal eine smarte Lösung. Die werde ich auch nach bauen, was ich eigentlich nicht mache. Dank und Gruss
This is a great upgrade!
nice work. you might consider making the main hole sized and counter sunk to accept a router guide to have additional options and flexibility. i have a piece of polycarbonate waiting for this... One other thing, i would mount the plate on the router before drilling the center hole, then use a router bit to cut the center hole. that way it is perfectly centered.
Some great stuff in this film 👍
Good work. Yet as to M8 in hardwood in the long run, I would use brass inserts with inner M8 threads which would outlast any thread in hardwood. But that's just me. And the next thing for you to ponder upon would be to fix the router movement lengthwise with some sort of stops. That would be very valuable for serial production of parts.
Really great video. As buying the plastic locally (Vancouver CA) was expensive for me and I don't trust my drilling/groove cutting skills, I took the plans to a local plastics company who could make them up for about CAD$60. Just mentioning this in case people wanted another option for how they can get their hands on this.
if you cnc'd them without the final router base screw holes and provided the fences in different sizes (thinking for carcass builds etc) you could make a fortune by selling them to us all who dont readily have a cnc machine or friendly local CNC place ;) - great video. only thing I would say is the fences could have a tapped m8 threaded insert into them so they will last a lot longer with the constant unscrewing, moving and screwing up again
3:22 ...magnet in the knob....Pure Genius!
Mo' travel - less trouble. Those fences were sweet!
I would use heli-coils for the wood threads on the fence parts and also add handles on the base plate so you're just not gripping the base plate. Other then that it's a pretty sweet setup.
You're an ingenious genius !
I really like this idea, already on eBay looking for parts
Marius, this is you're genius. I have just got round to making mine! So I have come back to use your ideas. I had a little difficulty with searching. Could you add "baseplate, guide, acrylic, perspex, etc to your title to help more people find this? Love you channel 👍🏻💝
Dude I’m very happy you started making videos again ! Thank you for the great content Marius
As always, I am impressed with your project quality. Thanks for sharing.
Great ideas!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent work. Very impressive!
Good to see you're making videos again.
I dig it.
Great video again Marius and thanks for the plans.
Excellent. Nice job, Marius.
If you cut a slight recess into some of the slots on the sides, you could use t-bolts for handles for some operations.
You’re a God !!! I love everything you do.
Magnets and washers a clever idea.
This makes me actually want to use my router.
Excelente jig, parabéns 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice job Marius....👍🏻...looks useful.
Impressive accuracy as always 👍
A clamp that slides on the periphery of the plate would avoid the need to unscrew the knobs. Great idea by the way:-)
quite some nice improvements... I will add them all! Ziemlich gut, Mann!
Excellent work!
Very good design! I love the magnet/washer combo trick, that's brilliant. The jig itself looks really versatile and easy to store, as well. Probably going to be really helpful on that big future build of yours. :)
I love your video's and your good sense of humor ! :-) Dennis in Western Canada
Best I have seen ! Thanks
Very good and well presented. Always enjoy your vids no matter what you do. Thks
