Centering a router/mortise
So I'm trying to create a dovetail joint like the ones on these table
legs http://www.dovetailcollection.com/ca...s/image029.jpg To do this I'm using my newly constructed mortise jig which looks a lot like this http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/i...n=Custom&ID=29 but I'm having a hard time centering the cut. Is there a better way to setup the cut other than just fiddling with it till it's dead center ? |

This should plow your mortise exactly in the middle of the stock. Joe G |
