It's only to clean up the hole, after having drilled down all the way in

I've seen guys demonstrate it and they all had their own technique that
worked equally well.
I do wonder how it might be retrofitted with a trim router and good
router bit.

There are all kinds of router mortise jigs out there. The difference
with this product is that it is much cheaper. There are a whole
spectrum of mortise options available. From cheap to exorbitant and
everything between. You pays your money and takes your choices.


If one has a vise and plunge router, I've used this one to make a few
chairs, complete with compound angles, and it cost about $10 in scraps
and a bit of shop time:

The photos should be in a logical order so that no words are needed, but
if someone needs a play-by-play and wants to try making one, just say
the word.
