forgot to mention.
I built this mortise jig incase I needed to make more.
How to make a perfect mortising jig
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA3XjEXMxj8&t=645s
Designed around my Triton TRA001 Dual Mode Plunge Router
Most from left over parts.
Two days from start to finish.
About 3 hours of searching for the right screws in my collection.
I refused to go to bunnings unless I couldn't find something.
Or maybe I was stuck at home without a car and couldn't wait any longer to get started.
$30 for a really large off cut of polycarbonate.
45min round trip to supplier.
~$2.50 for two 5/16" x 20mm counter sunk screws.
1 hour round trip to specialist screw and bolt shop.
Bunnings didn't sell them.
I'm sure Masters would have had them.
Still sad about that.

Perfection being completely overrated.Thanks,

What thickness is the polycarbonate? I have a full sheet of 8mm waiting to be made into a jig.

The vid specs were 4.8mm thick.
The only off cut available was 4.5 x 590 x 1200mm for $30.
Otherwise a 500 x 500mm from a full sheet was $105 for 6mm I think.
Other places were ~$40 inc GST for 4.5 x 400 x 400mm

At 9.10 in the video, he adds another block to the travel adjuster marked R. I presume when that travel adjuster and block is fully up against the rest, the router is dead central?

Yes.
For me R=Rear and F=Front
For me I see no reasoning behind a max stop on the stop.
Unless you are plunging for a single dowel hole.
Even then you don't need it as you will be lining it up with the centre marks.
Anyone else?Thanks,

That is quite a clever jig.
I'll watch the rest of the video, perhaps it discusses making the insertable tenons?
The end stops are clever and this would be an interesting way of making monster tenons that everyone loves.

He does address making the tenons in the comments with a shortcut to another of his videos.
Floating tenons made with a router here:

I'm pretty sure he uses hardwood tenons.Thanks,

I built a similar unit a couple of years ago. It was designed by Dan Phalan
Dan Phalen mortising jig
Although it works brilliantly, the two ways I can see it can be improved is seen in the polycarbonate jig.
1) being able to see through the top so you can line up the lines on the timber with the lines scribed in the poly. Mine is a bit fiddley.
2) having a thinner top so the mortise can be made deeper. The top of my unit is 18mm ply.
i”ll make some mods. using the 8mm poly, that I now have, and see how it goes.
Thanks for the post.

The tenon's are easy to make. Offcuts of new hardwood flooring or old floorboards are perfect for this. Just rip to size, feed each side past a half round bit on the router table and cut to the lengths you require. You can make a lot of stock in not much time.
Nice jig Barry, you'll never regret making it. Mine has the same problem as Lappas, difficult to accurately line up on centre.

Used 80grid on my Random Orbit Disc Sander
Any suggestions?

Sholders are not level and tenon are not straight.

I think you'd find it easier to cut the tenon off, cut a mortise in both parts to be joined and use floating (loose) tenon's. If you still want to refurbish the existing tenon setting up a tenoning jig for the table saw or bandsaw would at least establish a regularly shaped tenon with accurate shoulders that you could then round the edges on.

Barry, if you find the jig you are using to be less than your hoped it would be, then try the one I posted earlier ...
I have made a number of jigs over about 30 years of morticing with a router, including one similar to yours, and this trumps all. I have been using a version of it for several years. It is almost point-and-shoot.
Here is a link to a video on FWW magazine (mine is a variation of this) ...
