aluminum adjustable router template - BloomingtonMike - 01-20-2017
A guy here at work wants to buy (not make) an adjustable 4 sided router template/jig to route rectangle/square-ish pockets. Are you guys aware of a vendor that sells one? I though woodpecker had one but maybe it was someone else. My google-fu is coming up a miss.

Wow at 200 bux before you pull that trigger I'd suggest you PM John jteneyck here at WoodNet, and ask him for info about his horizontal router. Spending a bit more money would do that job much quicker than even the guy on the video is doing it, and he should be as fast as anyone if he's the designated stunt tooler. Beyond making a mortise there are a lot more interesting things you could do with it, and at adjustable angles if needed.
As usual I get no compensation for saying this, just a very happy owner, and wishing I was using it more.

He does not want a horizontal router. He wants easily sized pockets.
Tons of plans out there to make different things too. Heck some 8020 and some right angle connectors and T nuts would get him there.
99.99% of the world just makes it as a jig but he wants a vendor supplied one.
I was thinking one of these trinket dealers had some setup using their t track.
Thank you J.
