Trend Router Surfacing Jig for Flattening, Surfacing & Trenching Work, RS/JIG

Product Information

The RS/JIG Router Surfacing Jig has High Pressure Laminate running rails and router cradle for wear-free performance, accuracy and durability Trend is always developing new and innovative time saving solutions for our tradespeople throughout the world. Specially designed for trenching, surfacing and flattening metal of a wide or otherwise irregular shape Usually, router leveling jigs are made of steel to ensure they are durable. Occasionally, you will also find jigs made of other materials. The most important thing is to ensure that the jig does not feel too flimsy. Versatility Once you’ve finished flattening one side, rotate the workpiece upside down, secure it again, and repeat the process for the other side.

Linear rails that were 2000mm (or just over 6 feet). These were hard to buy, and I ended up going with this 2000mm set, and they were straight with decent quality. Worth noting, these rails come in various lengths to let you make a small or large jig. Router leveling jigs are typically meant for use on router tables. However, you will find certain leveling jigs that can be used on other fine woodworking tables other than the router table. For example, leveling jigs that can be used on table saws or clamped onto other surfaces offer users more options in their daily usage of the jig. Thus, it would help if you looked out for jigs that allow you to use the template on different surfaces. Manual To maximise the potential of the router, we offer a range of accessories for the professional user and craftsperson.HPL MATERIAL High-Pressure Laminate running rails and router cradle for wear-free performance, accuracy and durability

Use: This specialized router bit is primarily used for final surfacing, providing a smooth and flat finish on large wood slabs and tabletops. It is ideal for achieving precise and professional results. GUIDE BUSH CONNECTION - Links to the cradle with 30mm guide bush for compatibility with multiple brands and router sizes So after a lot of research, some engineering considerations, and budgeting, my final design ended up consisting of the following: Attach the trim router securely to the router sled, ensuring a stable connection without any wobbling.

GUIDE BUSH CONNECTION Links to the cradle with 30mm guide bush for compatibility with multiple brands and router sizes When it comes to flattening surfaces with a router sled, there are specific router bits designed for this purpose. These are the two commonly used types:

They say you don’t build a house the way you want until your third one. And after two bench configurations in my home woodworking shop, I am looking to perfect the benches on the third try. To span the distance between the rails, mount your router on a large auxiliary base. The drawings above show the plans for building the router base. One important detail to take note of is the pair of stops on the underside of the base. By adjusting the position of the stops to limit the travel of the router, you prevent the bit from damaging the rails. Benefits: The spoilboard surfacing bit is specifically designed for wood surface flattening tasks. It has a large cutting diameter and multiple carbide inserts, ensuring longer tool life and improved surface finish.Where there is sufficient waste material, either at the edges or ends, then through screwing can be used (counter bore clearance holes, so that screw heads lie below the final cutter depth to be used. This will prevent running into a screw by accident) HPL MATERIAL - High Pressure Laminate running rails and router cradle for wear-free performance, accuracy and durability

A router leveling jig will make your work easier. Ensure you take all workplace safety precautions when using a jig. Depending on the specific cut you want to make, you may end up with more than one jig. Owning multiple jigs means you don’t have to improvise or risk making imprecise cuts when working.

#AxminsterTools

Cutting should only be done in one direction (the one giving the best finish), returning the sled each pass before stepping the cutter across for the next pass
