DIY CHAMFER JIG - Easy Build to up your FURNITURE PROJECTS

Published 2022-08-13
The 13.1 degree angle Chamfer Jig, does it have to be 13.1 degrees, nope, was that planned, nope, but here’s how to build it and you can adapt it to your own specific router, wether that’s a beast of a half inch router or a simple trim/palm router like we did here.

Obviously if you have a lathe then this will be of no use to you haha But for the rest of you woodworkers out there wanting to up your detail game on your furniture projects, this is definitely a jig to have in your arsenal!

It’s a really simple build and hopefully it was simple (and entertaining 😜) to follow along with.

I’ll leave my specific dimensions of my jig that I made below, along with any tools that you’ve seen in the video.

Happy making you ragamuffins!

Dimensions:

2 x Bottom plates - 35mm x 200mm
2 x Side guides - 25mm x 200mm
1 x Router rest stop - 25mm x 127mm
1 x Base plate support 25mm x 127mm
1 x Base Base (I enjoy saying that haha) 280mm x 127mm
2 x Wedges 90mm x 30mm top down to 10mm at the bottom

    I highly suggest if you build this to use your routers plunge base, not the trim base. This will allow you to return to a set depth if you are doing many shallow passes on different sides of a piece. Also, and this is a big one, add some paste wax to all surfaces that interface with the router. An alternative method I used to build the main plate was to use a board larger than I needed and I set up one of the side walls. I also set up two short side walls. Then I used my plunge base to plunge down with a straight bit to route a channel. Finally the other side wall was attached. Trim the outside of the plate to size with a template bit and bob's your uncle. Never measure when you can reference.

  • @sayleshbhula
    Great jig. I just made one today. To do radius corners would the angled pieces be placed on a sharper angle?
