I built myself a mortising jig today. It still needs a couple of
toggle clamps and possibly one more stop for the work, but it's
coming out pretty well.

The router moves smoothly laterally, and it's easy to set the
mortise length. I added a movable work guide underneath for more
repeatable results. And I made it to be held in my bench vise, which
is very convenient.

But ...

The thickness of the jig limits the depth of the mortise. Sort of
rethinking and rebuilding, the through mortises (in 1.5" stock) I'll
need will require extra-long bits.

I'm looking into something like this:

It claims 3" of cut depth. Comments?

Your mounting plate could stop a Sherman tank.

I've built and used this one couple of times.

Simple and straight forward. No need to reinvent the wheelG.
