Trend Router Surfacing Jig for Flattening, Surfacing & Trenching Work, RS/JIG

Product Information

The RS/JIG Router Surfacing Jig has High Pressure Laminate running rails and router cradle for wear-free performance, accuracy and durability Specially designed for trenching, surfacing and flattening metal of a wide or otherwise irregular shape When buying a router leveling jig, chances are you already have a router table available. Thus, one of the first things to consider is the compatibility of the jig with your router table. The jig should slot into the table’s miter slot seamlessly. Ensure that you compare the size of your miter to the jig before buying. A mismatched combination will negatively affect usability. A slab jig which is compatible with most router bases, is best suitable for making table tops. This is an adaptable compact jig for flattening, surfacing and trenching work on wide or irregular shaped material.

High Pressure Laminate running rails and router cradle for wear-free performance, accuracy and durability Usually, router leveling jigs are made of steel to ensure they are durable. Occasionally, you will also find jigs made of other materials. The most important thing is to ensure that the jig does not feel too flimsy.

Unfortunately, not a lot of woodworkers realize these mills exist. While similar to a planer or drum sander in their ability to flatten a surface, these jigs differ in that they keep the wood in place and move over the face of the wood.

Lower the router to the desired depth, taking care to only remove a small amount of wood with each pass. This helps avoid excessive pressure on the router bit and minimizes the risk of burn marks. So after a lot of research, some engineering considerations, and budgeting, my final design ended up consisting of the following: Benefits: The double flute design helps in efficient chip evacuation and provides smoother cuts. It is versatile and suitable for various woodworking applications. In addition to surfacing, it can be used for cutting mortises, dados, and rabbets. I also limit the depth of cut to around 1 ⁄ 8 " for smooth, tearout-free cutting. You may need to make several passes to flatten the workpiece. This is easy to do with most [plunge routers](https://www.woodsmith.com/review/plunge-router/) simply by adjusting the turret on the depth stop.

A router leveling jig will make your work easier. Ensure you take all workplace safety precautions when using a jig. Depending on the specific cut you want to make, you may end up with more than one jig. Owning multiple jigs means you don’t have to improvise or risk making imprecise cuts when working.HPL MATERIAL - High Pressure Laminate running rails and router cradle for wear-free performance, accuracy and durability HPL MATERIAL High Pressure Laminate running rails and router cradle for wear-free performance, accuracy and durability To span the distance between the rails, mount your router on a large auxiliary base. The drawings above show the plans for building the router base. One important detail to take note of is the pair of stops on the underside of the base. By adjusting the position of the stops to limit the travel of the router, you prevent the bit from damaging the rails. Cutting should only be done in one direction (the one giving the best finish), returning the sled each pass before stepping the cutter across for the next pass
