Some time ago Allen asked if I could do a Tutorial on the Peg head slotting jig that I built a few weeks ago, well here it is, I hope….it’s my second attempt.
I had experienced problems in the past at times when routing slots, of the cutter wanting to pull the router away from the fence, and so make its own way across uncharted timber. This was due to either a lack of concentration
or lack on skill on my part. Whatever the cause I did not want to wreck a good piece of neck timber so I wanted to make the procedure fool proof, here is what I came up with. It is a bit complicated looking but once made its easy to use.
Photo 1 shows what this jig attempts to prevent. You could answer the phone while routing, try it and let me know.
Photo 2 gives an idea of what the jig looks like with the neck in place, showing one “top fenceâ€
