I decided to build an upgraded version of an adjustable trim router guide jig. I've been using the previous router jig for many projects and as it turned out to be very useful. Unfortunately the original jig did not let me make specific size dados and squares. I also made this router template shorter than the previous one - there are not many situations one would need a 50cm long dado and this one is more useful while using it on a smaller table. I built this jig with 2 sets of detachable arms - one for general dado purpose the other for an exact / specific dado / square size. For that I made a T-track on both sides that allow me to adjust the arms as necessary.
Note: The jig works with one router bit only. The router bit you use to build this jig is the one you always need to use while using the jig

Check out the description. Subscribe not to miss anything!👍 THANKS!
The best example I've seen so far.Going to build it tomorrow.
Brilliant, this is the second video of yours I've watched and they have both been excellent projects and informative. Thank you for posting, another subscriber gained.
Thanks for this video. There aren't many other videos showing how to make a router guide with side adjustment. There's just one other good one where the woman uses shop-bought T-tracks, which can cost some £40. I chose to make your version. Just finished making it today, can't wait to use it on my next project!
Awesome jig. Thank you!!!
Good job and thanks for sharing your knowledge
Can't tell you how much easier you just made my life ~ Lol! Thank you for sharing!
That is a super tight fit Lukas! Well done, I am impressed!
Thanks, Boris, much appreciated, as always. 🙂 Stay safe, mate.
Complimenti, molto bravo
es el mejor enrurdor que he visto hasta ahora, usted podria poner las medidas facitaria su construccion, muchas gracias
Vera good! Nice!
Excellent craftsmanship fella.
Question: seeing as you run your router along that straight edge all the time does that mean you always have to use the same size router bit otherwise the centre would be off?
Do u have to use always rhe same router bit or you can change it? Great job! Thank you
Hey, nice realization of this jig!! Did you use wood glue to glue your plywood on top of the aluminum? Cheers
Great video, can I ask about the size of the angle aluminium you used please? base width and height? Also , anything else I should look for if buying this? Thanks
Great video. Looks like it will work quite well. Just 1 tiny suggestion....when making this vid it would have been helpful if the color of the background (n this case a cutting board) were a different color than your project. At times it was hard 2 distinguish which was which. :)
If I understand it correctly, this jig only works for a 6mm dado bit? :)
Any chance of getting dementions of these builds including cut sizes.Knowing that your build size may not be the size that I may want but it gives an idea of what your idea maybe. In one of your builds you offered a PDF of the build,is that something you could offer in your future projects?Thank you,Barry.
Great video, thanks a lot.
But, if I dont have any of the mentioned jigs above, which one do I start with abd in what order do I do the rest? I have a plunged router, Bosch POF1400 and a whole kit och Ryobi power tools incl. a circular saw. I do not have a tablesaw! =( Thanks...
SÜPER
How did you get the grooves in the cross arms that join the two halves together ?
Great and accurate! What is the difference between this jig and the one (the longer) you use while you are building it?
The long one has fixed adjuster, in this video can slide so router has stop block
Hi Ahmed, thank you. The longer one does not have a stop block. It is unnecessarily long. With this shorter one, you can better set boundaries and if you switch/change the blocks you can snap the object you want to cut and make a precise rectangle cut.
@@royprawira Thats right, thanks! 👍
e kan ik de plan van bekomen ?
Hi. Interesting jig. What prevents the router to touch the jig ? The aluminum bars ?
Hello Andre, yes the aluminum bars. They stop the router and set the width between the router bit and the edge of the router stand. Anyway, keep in mind it works for one specific router bit. I am using a 6mm router bit, though if I used a say 12mm router bit, the bit would cut in the material.
Plan hoe kan ik die ontvangen?
Hello , thanks for Your videos , I have a simple question from a very newbie ... At 07:10 You use the 6mm bit to refine the base , it means that with this jig , always You will use the 6mm router bit ???
Thanks for You answer .
Hello MB, yes that is right. If I am about to use this jig I need to use it with a 6mm router bit.
👏👏👏👏👏
Might have made more sense with some comentary!!??
