I saw somewhere plans for a mortising jig using a plunge router to make the mortises. I have decided loose tennons are the way to go and that the router with this jig would be easier and faster than my drill press. Anybody out there willing to share photos and plans for their jig?

Hi salrdav ,
Fine Woodworking has a 30 day free offer on right now. Jump on over and take a look at the section for router jigs and fixtures. They have some excellent plans in PDF format.

You'll find something that should work.
Regards,
Bill

There's a good plan in the Beds book by Jeff Miller.

I just posted this in the tenoning jig thread, but it also applies here. Apologies to anyone for reading this twice.
Three pictures up from the bottom of the article is a picture for a very simple, quite efficient shop made mortising jig for use with a plunge router.

My "mortising jig" are two edge guides mounted to extra long rods on my PC plunge router. I adjust them to snugly straddle the workpiece.

Hi, made this one for a recent project (White Pine Storm Door) and it worked as intended.
Designed it and built it to not lose any depth capacity from a top plate - workpeice goes right up to router baseplate.
Mine is a bit complicated - Bill Hylton's looks super-simple and strong.
Good Luck,
Pete
p.s. - sorry trying to figure out how to upload pics!

Has its limitations but within its working range, the router is a good choice.
