Come full circle with this groovy jig
After making a round cutting board, I decided to add a juice
groove to keep juices from dripping onto the countertop. But making
a
consistent groove circling the workpiece had me stumped. This
easy-to-build router table jig did the trick.
Install a round-nose bit in your router table . From a scrap of
plywood, make a jig similar to the one shown. Place it on the
router
table so the distance between the bit and the edge of the
triangular cutout equals the distance of the groove from the edge
of the
cutting board. With the jig located, clamp it to the router
table.
To rout the groove, rest the cutting board over the bit and
against both edges of the jig. Carefully lower the workpiece atop
the
spinning router bit and slowly turn the workpiece, keeping its
edges in contact with the inside edges of the triangular cutout.
The jig
also works well for using non bearing-guided bits to
edge-profile circular workpieces.
