This is a handy jig to have in your workshop for making one-off or repetitive cut outs in your material using a hand held router trimmer. Follow me on my step by step guided video tour on how easy this is to make using some basic materials including aluminum T-Track. The added feature of the T-Track gives you quick adjustment, makes it easier to assemble and that high end professional look and feel. You can achieve professional looking and accurate results using this jig, which can also be easily stored away taking minimal space in the workshop or to your job-site.
