Hello,
I made some pieces for a tiny walnut box. The cuts were less than perfect. So I bought a chamfer bit and wanted to use my router table to clean up the pieces and make them work. I built a jig to help with this. Tonight’s blog piece gives a lot more of the dirty details, if you are curious.

Nice looking jig Brian, a nice clean build and so much safer that trying to hold The small pieces by hand.

This small thing really is a BIG deal! It was time well spent and I’m certain your fingers would thank you if they could. I’ll check out the blog now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Very nice Brian. Little parts are always a problem to work with. You done good.
I always use holders that press against the fence for situations like this, as I don’t have a miter slot. This looks like a really well thought out design. Maybe I need to add a miter slot.
Thanks,
Steve

Thats a really wonderful jig.
To have our fingers too close to the bit are allways a scarry experience, so I will for sure build something like that.
Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful work.
Best thoughts,

Rachet,
Yes, I just grabbed some wood and parts and looked at them until I had an idea. I knew the size of part I wanted to pass across the router bit, and just went from there. On another note, it is good to see another feline woodworker, there are lots of ‘Cool Cats’ on LJ.
