Jigs and Fixtures This area will be directed towards the art of designing specific jigs and fixtures. Bob and Rick say, "if the specific operation is to make more than one piece the same size and shape then chances are you need a jig and/or fixtures."

Default Brass Inserts

I have the one brass insert that Bob lists on his website that reduces the insert hole from 1 1/2 to 3/4 inches.. I recent routed a lot of drawer dados with a 1/4 in. bit.

Is closing the hole in the Router Workshop router base to 3/4 in. safe when using a 1/4in bit?

reference.: Brass Insert

I would say yes especially with up to a 3/8 inch cutter if your router is properly centered and you have dust/chip extraction.
