I'm used to larger, corded routers kzfaq.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

A trick with the threaded holes is to soak them with thin CA and spray with accelerator. Hardens the threads and they last forever. Love the jig. Awesome work!

AWESOME redesigns!!!!!! Love the embedded magnets & the way you can switch slots when you run out of room from the top, brilliant!!!!!👍👍

The magnet washer trick - I've never seen that. Brilliant!

Marius it’s a pleasure watching you making all your jigs.

Thank you. This is a great collection of improvements on a great idea.

I was trying to think of a way to improve Samurai's version. Yours is the perfect solution!

Brilliant idea by Samurai Carpenter, brilliant execution by Marius

Nice to see a good young carpenter that isn't arrogant and over confident.

Thanks for sharing. That jig can also be made to fit in a router table so that there is no setup time. Also, with all the fences removed from, this jig can be used to make router boxes (boxes cut using a template, with the boxes having curved sides)

Awesome video. Thanks for the jig. I decided to make one. I only could find 1/4 in (6mm) polycarbonate. I dont have a cnc so used a router to mill the slots. This proved tricky as all the bits i had did not do a good job. Tried double flute straight bits 1/4 and 1/2 inch bit did not work well. Spiral 1/4 and 1/2 in bits and did not work either. The perfect bit for this was metal spiral bits with 6 flutes. Worked perfectly. Very clean cuts. The metal bit has a rounded end and eats polycarbonate like butter. Thanks again for this video

This is a really clever tool idea; which is also compact and portable. M8 screw threads in wood work well. But also look at even coarser threads. Lining them with Wood glue and letting it set is another idea a friend taught me.

Brilliant ideas in here. Since you have silk those edge slots to use, you can also make handles or knobs for grabbing onto and pushing on and stick anywhere you want the help!

Seriously superb. So smart with the more versatile solution. I watched the samurai carpenter version which was awesome. But this is exquisite.

The shop-made knobs are fantastic. No matter how great the project, I just couldn't get over how nice and professional the knobs look. Concerning the threads, I believe you should give a good look to threaded inserts. They will eventually wear off the wood where they are threaded, but they will certainly last well beyond what any threads directly on wood will.

As always, I am impressed with your project quality. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for providing the files for this!! I easily found someone locally to laser cut it for me so no chamfering needed.

Outstanding presentation, well thought out design and provided drawings free! Class act Marius. Thank you for sharing your work.

Love the magnet to hold the washer, that is super cool. Good video, wish I had a CNC.

Very nice, and nice change to the threaded holes with the knobs. I recently did a project where I had to drill and tap about 150 10-24 holes in polycarbonate so this is right on my wavelength right now. I might have enough scrap to make my own!

Hi Marius that’s the perfect tool for a slot that I have to put in the centre of a box I’ve made,will have to make one now. Superb video as usual.

Thank you so so so much for freely posting your files. I was able to send them directly to my local CNC shop and have it cut in an hour!

@Marius - Nice refinement of the Samurai Carpenter's Jig. and thank you for the diagrams. Just downloaded a set tonight. Much appreciated.

A brilliant build as always Marius, you are a very talented young man with an eye for detail, thanks for posting, from Garry in the UK

Great design and upgrades. Thanks for sharing.

I 've just put together my CNC and I will use it for real now . thanks to you!

As a chair maker by trade, I am super impressed with this jig!

Very good improvement to a great tool, I was planning to make something like Jessie as well so thanks.

My wife used your file to cut one out on her laser engraver. It works great. Thank you.

Dude I’m very happy you started making videos again ! Thank you for the great content Marius

Awesome jig improvement...thanks for sharing!

Nice upgrade! I built Jessie's version a while ago, but I love your improvements, so think I'll have to update mine now.

It also occured to me that for routing centered grooves/holes, instead of the guides you can attach two round pins to the template equidistant from the bit, and turn it until they meet, just like a center finder... but only if the hole isn't too close to the end of the work piece.

You earned my subscription with this video. Excellent jig. The Samarai Carpenter created a BRILLIANT idea you you improved it. Thanks for sharing.

I watched the same Video last month, but made the same base as yours. I don't have CNC so cut my slots on my router table. Its amazing how different people can have the same idea. I really like what You both do, Thank you.

Great design and craftsmanship.

awesome. i will be doing this! i like the slotted holes so much better than fussing with the samurai's original design with dozens of countersunk screw holes. i think i'll use extruded aluminum rails with t-bolts instead of hardwood though and i'll put a strip of UHMW tape on the faces of the extrusion so that they glide nicely.

What a great jig, i am going to build one soon for my router.

Good to see you're making videos again. I dig it.

I Always enjoy your videos. Even without the "snap to completion" or "snap to correcting yourself", you're videos are quite entertaining. Love the content and innovative technique in modifying this design. 👍👍

Nice, I like the changes you made to his version. 🙂

thx for your plans Marius et thx for your job !

Awesome job. Way to take jig to another level.

Marius, your skill and ability blows me away. Your future is very bright and prosperous, thanks for sharing your ideas. Merry Christmas

Nice job! Very good upgrade. Will certainly do this on mine.

Mo' travel - less trouble. Those fences were sweet!

Excellent improvement on the Samurai Carpenter's jig. Although I don't have a CNC I will be building one soon. Great video, thanks!!

You’re a God !!! I love everything you do.

Great video again Marius and thanks for the plans.

Awsome Germany efficiency, Loved it

That's awesome. Great crossover of means, methods and materials.

Very well done. I don't have the CNC but with a little patience I think I can replicate your excellent design.

Excellent work. Very impressive!

Your home made knob looks like a bought one. Impressive idea with the magnet too. Good work and thanks for the video. Cheers, David

Excellent. Nice job, Marius.

You're an ingenious genius !

Bravo....thank you and you have heart greetings from Italy.

Very skilful ! I'll be making this. Thanks

Very good design! I love the magnet/washer combo trick, that's brilliant. The jig itself looks really versatile and easy to store, as well. Probably going to be really helpful on that big future build of yours. :)

I am going to try this. I just bought a piece of 1/2 x 12 x 12 polycarbonate on eBay for $25 delivered.

Absolute genius, Marius - I prefer your design to that of the samurai Carpenter - especially the locating holes (with the tapping out of the wood) guide rails. It's a brilliant concept, & once again, you don't disappoint :D

This is a great upgrade!

Excelente jig, parabéns 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Lot's of router related stuff recently. Keep up the good work!

Nice! Add a locking handle that runs in a track on the side of the guide fence so that you can adjust it back and forth along the guide fence.

GREAT project. I like the fact that you can move the base and not the router.

Super umgesetzt und prima Zeichnungen angeferdigt. Freue mich schon auf weitere Videos.

Nice job Marius....👍🏻...looks useful.

It's really good of you for making it open-source =)

joinery popping when pulled apart gives me so much joy :-P

Excellent work!

Impressive accuracy as always 👍

Great ideas!!!! Thanks for sharing.

I put this one on my " To Do " list. Nice job again man ;-)

Now if I only had a CNC machine! LOL! Good adaptation, now I will have to adapt.

Very good and well presented. Always enjoy your vids no matter what you do. Thks

you are pure GOLD! Thank you

Some great stuff in this film 👍

I love your video's and your good sense of humor ! :-) Dennis in Western Canada

Lovely fixture

Awesome video as usual. Thanks.

Thank you for a great jig

Hab das teil schon oft auf YT gesehen, nur ohne Anleitung, deine Lösung gefällt mir auch sehr gut!

I really like this idea, already on eBay looking for parts

Super, dass du die DXF und so zum Download bereitstellst. Hat prima funktioniert.

Very good job!

3:22 ...magnet in the knob....Pure Genius!

Nice! You should make some handles to put on the base plate so you can hold them to control the router. Rather than holding the Perspex.

Always the best great job 👍👍👍👍👍

quite some nice improvements... I will add them all! Ziemlich gut, Mann!

Beautiful!

Really great video. As buying the plastic locally (Vancouver CA) was expensive for me and I don't trust my drilling/groove cutting skills, I took the plans to a local plastics company who could make them up for about CAD$60. Just mentioning this in case people wanted another option for how they can get their hands on this.

Gracias por compartir, muy buen video 😁👍🏻

Thanks for the plans of the Baseplate. What a nice Tool. Will build this for my Triton router ;-)

Awesome works fantastic

Marius eine echt super Vorrichtung. vielen Dank für dein Video lg TroppY

Nice work! 👍🏻👊🏻

Good work.

estupenda idea Marius
