Hi Don
Some router jobs are done better with the plunge router and this is one of them..
You can make a quick jig to do this easy job but you want the mortises to be dead on center and true...to the sides.
Here are just some of them
the 1st. is one Bob R. and Rick R. of the RWS came up with..

My next stop will be to buy a mortising machine. But this method seems like it will make cleaner mortises. |
