I'm sure this has a name, but I'm coming up blank. Anyway, it's for routing out recesses and holes or holes with recesses. It's an idea that I've been mulling over for a couple of years, and the key feature is the spacer blocks that you use to size it accurately. Also a tricky method for locking the rails together took a fair bit of deep thought, but works amazingly well. It is a bit challenging to make, given the small size of the parts. After you have it sized, it can be clamped down or use double sided tape if clamps won't reach. Or hot melt glue, if you don't have any tape. The spacer blocks can be taped down too, if you just have lines on whatever you are routing out. Changes I'd make if I made it again: - Upsize everything by a factor of 1.5. Even though it isn't, it feels and looks flimsy. - Get real metal insert knobs and the locking bolt epoxied to the aluminum locking pawl. Or tap the pawl and use a knob with a stud. Then the pawl should be steel for the threads to last.

This is typically the kind of "genius idea" that i felt for so many time, wasting both precious shop time and then shop space. Seriously, 4scrap of any kind of wood with a straight edge, masking tape and super glue and bob's your uncle. Don't need any extra storage space, takes 0 time to built and about same time to setup. Bonus : you don't get clamps in the way (seriously sometimes i feel like clamps are part of a conspiracy to always catch my hand, the vac hose or the power cords, am i the only one ?). I use that with a 8mm shaft 8mm bit and a 24mm (=3*8) bushing (for imperial friends just use a bit the size of the collet you are using and a bushing that is 3x that e.g. : 1/4" bit and 3/4" bushing for a 1/4" collet). So it's a no brainner you trace whatever polygone you want (doesn't even have to be a rectangle) and in a pinch the bit itself can be used as you cale block. Bim! 0 shop time wasted building jigs instead of actual things you want to build, 0 shop space wasted storing jigs that you will barely use once a year, and 100% pure efficiency ! You trace, you glue your sticks on the lines set up the depth and route, pull the sticks, thank you good bye. Need to repeat the same routing many time ? Simple you do the same thing on a piece of mdf board this time using 2x the cale (i.e. : offsetting 16mm instead of 8) then you route and bim! that piece of mdf become a permanent template you can use with just the same bit and same bushing 100times. Need it extra snug ? put a layer of masking tape on the faces of your sticks. Need it bit loose ? Use a layer of masking tape on the cale. That method is so versatile i bought a second router that is permanently set up with this 8mm bit and 24mm bushing.
