Phenolic Worktop Jig
This worktop jig is engineered from solid grade, high-performance premium phenolic known for its exceptional strength, stability and warp resistance – as well as being totally water and liquid resistant. Budget jigs made from laminated composite can warp and lose stability due to moisture absorption and temperature change leading to inaccurate cuts and joints. The extremely durable, anti-friction phenolic allows your router to glide smoothly through the cut without snagging. Inferior jigs made from less durable composite material can wear over time leading to imperfections in the surface and inaccurate cuts and joints.
This unique, patented variable angle worktop jig offers a multi-purpose solution for kitchen worktops. Precision CNC machine cut with +/- 0.02mm accuracy it will ensure you achieve professional, out of square and standard left and right hand joints in worktops with a range of 11 different widths – 250 / 300 / 400 / 450 / 500 / 550 / 600 / 616 / Ikea 620 / 650 / 700mm. Other techniques for non-square walls are often inaccurate and produce poor joints. The innovative angle adjustment plate (sold separately) allows non-restricted, continuous adjustment to cut out of square joints with a range of 85°-95°. This variable angle design has the additional capacity to find and set the angle required, providing consistent, perfectly matched joints.
This multi-purpose jig can be used for both postformed and contemporary square edge worktops and enables you to create a huge range of further joints and cuts – including peninsular joints, corner radii (40mm, 100mm) and angle cuts at 90°, 45° and 22.5°. The jig also includes facility for 35mm cabinet door hinge recesses (18mm carcass), three apertures for 65mm and 150mm joining bolts and holes for 35mm tap fixings.
Laser-engraved essential instructions and diagrams on the jig surface allow for very quick setup and ease of use. The engravings are cut into the phenolic surface meaning they will not wear under constant friction from the router – providing long lasting clarity. A comprehensive user manual is also included alongside four 10mm precision fit ABS aligning pins. To use this jig you will need a ½” hand router, router bit (diameter: 12.7mm, height: 50.8mm – straight with end cutting), 30mm guide bush and clamps.
Achieve consistent and precise worktop joints every time from a jig that is moisture and warp resistant. ©
