    You've got to be joking. By the time you've made your first cut I've got my entire frame glued and clamped and I'm sitting having a coffee while watching a movie

    Yes, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
    Although, if the ONLY tool you own is a router then I guess this would work.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Routers also leave a far worse surface for gluing than saws do on endgrain

    I didn't have to spend more than ten dollars for the material to make the jig I was submitting an alternative method of producing the joint to those who do not have dollars to spend on ;Fancy Jigs that cost lots of money also showing alternative methods of using the router.

    This will depend
    on how you use your router The method I use produces a very clean edge

    No one was suggesting you SHOULD and you are correct as most members do not have access to a great range of tools and machinery was the reason to get people interested in Getting more from their router

    Thanks for sharing TT.

    I know that there is a great deal of talk about perfect 45 degree mitres .... most home workshop tools need to be precisely calibrated and do not always hold the calibration for many reasons ... that's why I use a shooting board, or cut one of the joining corners on the RHS of the blade, and the LHS on the other side of the blade on the mitre saw.

    Thanks

    Rob

    Thanks for that Rob. In my 65years working with Machinery in Cabinet making There was always the necessary procedure to test the machine to ensure that we can produce the perfect angle we are looking for
