M/T using router - weelis - 01-12-2016
Want to start using router to do M/T joints. Are there any good tutorials or articles out there that would help to learn this technique? Thnx

ShopNotes issue #64, page 14. I've been using that jig for years and love it. PM me if you need details.
I recommend a plunge router powerful enough to handle a 1/2" collet and a 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" spiral up bit.

I would look for a Mortise Pal. Not being made anymore, but you may locate a used one.

I've got a mortise jig I've never used, it needs a new home. I'll take some pics tomorrow.

I've been using the FWW jig. It works well for me.

Great advise I would go with the one from Ray Newman and Steve N, jig is very easy to make and set up.

This is mine:
Based on a couple of examples I found on YouTube.
One addition I made was the use of a shim to establish the center of the cut. With that, I only have to measure for center on a given thickness of stock one time. Then make a shim, mark and save it. Same for a leg reveal.
Since this works off center lines, any size cutter will always be centered for a given shim with the given stock. Hope that makes sense.
