@darrenking Thanks for the info. That works, though if I was designing for myself I might have made the base a smidgin bigger than the rails so I could clamp without a baseboard (which makes it heavie...

@tv1 For me it's not just the tools, it's the loop I'd get into, finding that I could buy tool X if my compressor was just a little bit bigger... I'd start off looking at something suitable for an air...

How easy is it to get a couple of clamps onto it to fix it to the bench? Hi @jonhodgson Thank you for your comments. You can either screw it directly to you bench or to a base board which can then be...

@darrenking Looks brilliant, nicely done 🙂 another vote for adding stops, sounds like you’re planning to anyway! Only thing that would put me off is the wood on wood for the rails, given it’s ...

I knew darren would come up with a fine design! How easy is it to get a couple of clamps onto it to fix it to the bench?

Here’s mine for today Liking this @rocknroller912. 👍😁 🙏🎸🎶🙂

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment..... just released a couple of days ago. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

Hmmmmmm - I'll put that in the interesting/odd category @Marcel. Not one I'll be rushing out to buy ... I understand. It must be like me listening to a song in Welsh.

no problem and I meant to respond. It’s just been a busy weekend, I’ve had sorts of odd people drop in!!😂😂😂 Yeah I gathered you’ve had a busy one. Yeah there are all kinds of ...

Oh I got the buffing mops on Friday by the way (I sent you a text) Hi Boo, no problem and I meant to respond. It’s just been a busy weekend, I’ve had sorts of odd people drop in!!😂😂&#...

The only downside with making it taller That said, it is easier to add a riser layer to the bed of the jig to bring thin material closer to the cutter than it is to raise the height of the rails.

that cutter is 52mm This is a great cutter and I love Wealden products, and I think they offer the best value for money of any UK brand. My only concern is that this is quite a big cutter to be using...

My existing set-up uses a 50mm rail height. The only downside with making it taller is that, if you also need to flatten something thinner, then your router bit might not be long enough to reach A v...

So should I go for a compromise of 55mm as standard to accommodate neck blanks?

It all looks good to me @darrenking it will be good to finally have a purpose made, flat surface routing jig. I always have confidence in you creations. Oh I got the buffing mops on Friday by the way...

I need to get out of these suspenders And I need to get that image out of my head!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Ok, here we go. There may be a couple of minor changes for the production version bu...

there is nothing to stop a narrow blank being held diagonally I had thought of that after commenting @darrenking but wasn’t sure if it was a whack idea or not. So I guess it isn’t! 😆

I’m guessing a bit more clearance may be a good idea. OK, I’ll increase it to 60mm and if anyone finds that this it too high then they can always trim the rails down a little bit themselves. Sound li...

maybe this is just designed for body blanks? Hadn’t thought about neck blanks. I could add about 80mm to the length without it too much of an issue and there is nothing to stop a narrow blank being h...
