Axminster Extra Kitchen Worktop Jig

Incorporating several unique features with precise positioning and sighting of the cut line, this is a postform jig intended for the professional user will cut worktop up to 700mm wide with a jointing facility at 22.5° and 45°. The main template body is 16mm thick synthetic resin laminate plate, machined to very fine tolerances to guide your router fitted with a standard 30mm guide bush. The guide slots and preset angles are located with 10mm metal dowel pins to ensure exact positioning against the edge of your worktops and encompass the principal angles required, plus positioning for the new style connectors and various inserts. Flush face clamping provides a totally unimpeded working face whilst enabling the template to be held securely to the worktop using any combination of the eight sliding locations for the recessed clamp heads. Cutting errors are often handed down from an inaccurately located guide bush. To eliminate this we provide a locator for the standard 30mm guide bush to ensure its precise concentricity when mounting and securing it to the router. To ensure error-free cutting of the location so that it accepts the end of the mating worktop we have incorporated a width measuring locator facility in this jig. Set between static dowel pins and a sliding pin, the width of the top can be gauged without measuring or guesswork, providing the exact amount cut in to accommodate the worktop end. The jig also has 3 circular holes to cut pockets at 50, 70, 80 mm diameter, 3 Preset connector pockets with 200mm spacing, a 45° corner guide edge, Long sweep radius guide edge (approx 460 mm radius), 100mm radius guide edge and a single uninterrupted guide edge 880mm long. Numerous slots to enable sub-surface clamping (using Axminster clamp and head combination), variable positioning to set length of butt socket joint for 45° joining, positioning for setting length of butt socket joint for 22.5° joining and also positioning (using dowel pins) to set jig long edges to 22.5°, 30° and 45°. All machining is specified utilising a 30mm guide bush and a 1/2" router cutter.
