draining board jig

Post by gentleman jim »

Hi anyone got an idea where I can purchase a router jig to router a draining board? All I can seem to find is a trend jig and they want between 89 and 100 quid for it ...... seems more than a little excessive to me ....... :-) thank you in anticipation

It is the same with worktop jigs you have to pay the money for quality jigs that do the job.

You could make one but there is a time cost issue to consider.

What exactly is it you need a jig for on the draining board
Is it just for the gooves?

I was way out of it, too much gin and port :lol:


I thought draining board jig was similar to 'Tap dancing'

Tried it and gave up after I fell in the sink! :lol: :lol: :lol:


OK I'm off now.

dont buy the £49 sfx one its made from MDF and bends/snaps

you want my advice either use your standard worktop jig and keep moving it

or buy the trend jig, it may be £89 but I believe it comes with a cutter included
