hello folks. i came out with this router jig and i wanted to show it to you in pictures. its not fancy and does not look so great. but it has very little pieces and moving parts so i guess its worth sharing.
its basically a blank of hardwood (size in mm: 15x80x220) with a slot for the flat iron rod on the underside. screw holes and bit hole matching the ones on the plastic platform.
on the upperside it has a channel for the bolt that emerges from below. and a simple wing nut and two "rings" (probably a better word for it)
here you can see all the pieces. I made threaded holes to the rod, then located the bolts, one with the flat neck for the axis, the other with full "thread" to use with the wing nut. (they are both 1/4 bolts) and gave a touch of welding to secure them.
so here its set on the Bosch gkf-600 (i think the U.S version is called Colt)
the blank was a little narrow but the screws hold just fine.
so its just a matter of positioning the bit into place and then tighten the wing nut, it hold the rod very firmly and steady.
here´s the rosete before unglueing it from the MDF. there are some bit marks on a little section, but that was the jig failure just my mistake when positioning the bit. and thats the part that goes below the fretboard. so no worries there.
and the rossete
so all in all its very simple and handy.
hope its useful for somebody.
cheers!
Bruno
