    Default Rolling Mortise Jig - Test day

    G'day mates

    So, I made the "Rolling mortise jig" and the "Router lift" and today was the test day.

    I started the first mortise by cranking the "Lift" up 3~4 turns and push-pull the sled and another 3~4 turns and another push-pull...

    But then, I thought to myself that actually there is no "Fence side" and I can push or pull the sled.

    I ended up working simultaneously with both hands...the left hand pushing and pulling the sled and the right hand, rotating the Lift continuously...every mortise took me some 15~20 seconds (48 mm long and 20 mm deep).

    I cannot tell how long took me all the 8 mortises because taking the pics (136) in-between took me much more time than all the mortising.

    The jig is not limited only to "edge mortising", if you mark the mortise location and remove the "sled stops", you can make it anywhere along the board.

    Regards
    niki

    Thank you so much...It's 8 AM in Poland

    I like the jigs simple and "idiot proof"...if I shall rely on my skills, the neighborhood kids will learn new vocabulary in English, Polish, Hebrew, Spanish, Italian etc

    I made the fence parallel to the table edge just because of my "fence-bit" measuring method (with the caliper).
    If you are using different method, the fence does not have to be parallel.

    Thank you Outback

    Taking into account that my father was Bulgarian and my mother Rumanian...no, no connection to Aussie .

    About the rest
    Bloody...I agree
    Cleaver...well, not so much
    Old bugger...for sure (in 2 days I'll move on to the 63)

    Cleaver ...VERY Cleaver

    Every time I see a new thread that you start I know that we are all going to be in for a treat. I think that it will be near to impossible to improve on a mortise jig for simplicity and ease of setup and use. Having said that if anyone can improve on it, it will be you Niki. The way that you show it with the pictures is better than words could ever describe it.

    Before I forget, Happy Birthday Niki. You're not getting older, just better and more experienced.

    Keep well

    Don

    Thank you Don

    I don't have words to reply to your so kind compliments except very fearfully "Thank You".

    Sometimes I wish to go back to 33 with the knowledge and experience of 63 but thinking that I shall have to work again not where and when I want.....I enjoy every moment of my retirement.

    Oh, about the pictures...I must...otherwise you'll end up building Motorcycle with my poor English...

    Thanks again
