Loose Tenon Jig
This precision engineered jig contains everything needed to produce perfectly fitting loose or ‘floating’ tenon joints with your router. This jig simplifies an otherwise inaccessible joint, typically only achieved with dedicated jointing machines. One of the strongest and most versatile joints available, loose tenons are ideal for furniture casework, tables and doors.

Easy to use, the brass guide bush is installed into your router and follows the clear polycarbonate template to produce accurately sized, accurately located mortises. Clear, laser etched reference lines and large central pointers allow you to quickly and easily locate the jig against layout lines on your workpiece. The template holder glides smoothly along two stainless steel rods, and once positioned, the cleverly designed ratchet handle locks the jig body in place without fouling the workpiece.

The jig provides you with full control over the depth of the mortise, allowing decorative exposed tenons when routing completely through material. The supplied template will produce a 10mm wide mortise, designed for industry standard tenons, and the length of the mortise can be increased further by repositioning and overlapping the mortise. Incredibly versatile, the jig can be used for the creation of angled joints, clamping onto the end of mitre cuts to produce strong mitred joints.

Ready to use out of the box, the jig is supplied with a solid brass guide bush, clear polycarbonate template, 10 solid beech 10mm tenons and a 1/2″ shank two flute, TCT router bit. The optional dowelling attachment transforms the jig into a versatile dowelling jig. ©
