Draingin Board Router Jig
Hi All,
We've just installed a Belfast-style kitchen sink with an iroko worktop. We used a jigsaw to cut out for the sink and now we need to make the "draining board" area. I've seen a special router jig on Screwfix.com for =A3100. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...70498&id=3D24= 677 Anybody know of a cheaper alternative or if they are available for hire...

The cheapest alternative is to make your own jig; it's only a slotted
board with one end propped up on a block! If you make your own then you can decide the pattern of the grooves; parallel, in a fan, curved, or a combination of all these. You can cut the slots with your router or, by drilling the ends of the slots first and joining the holes with a jigsaw. |

This is something I was thinking of doing and probably what I'll end up
with if no cheap alternative is suggested. Thanks Mr Fuxit. I hadn't thought about fanning it out. |

Jake Howlett http://jake.typepad.com/ Sheet Perspex is a must for making jigs/templates of this ilk. I jus cant believe the prices they are charging for the vast majority of these jigs, ludicrus. |

You could try www.gcip.co.uk - I've used them in the past to make
various jigs for me. You would need to let them know size etc that you looking for - but other than that they'll make pretty much what you like |

Jake Howlett http://jake.typepad.com/ This is the cheapest method I can come up with if you understand my drawings. Sorry not very good at technical drawing. :-( http://www.zones.myby.co.uk/ROUTER%20SLIDE.jpg Any questions please ask. |
