hello all, new here and already learning alot, now to my question and i hope i can get it accross without two much confusion.
i need a jig for makeing the edges of two different boards come togather like a pattern(i think thats how i want to say it)i have seen this jig in a book that a friend from work has but as im laid off im not able to get ahold of him. it wasent that complicated, you put the boards in from opposite directions..make a pass with the router on the first one, move the seconed board up and make the second pass useing the same "fence" as u did with the first one...the two boards should be identical when done..pretty simple..but i cant figure it out without at least a pic or something.
thanks in advance

i guess u could call it that..im not sure...i call it the poor mans jointer, i figured it out today and made it, and the best part is...it works!!!! all it does is make the edges of boards the same so when u mate them they go togather perfectly, and since my table saw is basicallly junk...and i dont have a jointer this is a pretty good alternative to good clean joints for makeing panels up on.

Hello bike,

I understand now. I use my Split Router Fence which is reversible for jointing and a long 1/2" Shank 1/2" Straight bit in my router table, then I use a Reversible Glue Joint bit to join the boards for a table top or Door Panels..

bike, I know the jig you are referring to. I have seen it in one of my books. I looked in two of them but can't find it. i will keep searching tho and will let you know if and when I find it.

i use a flush trim bit and this fence 19" Long polyethylene Router Jointer Fence
Infeed is 1/16" narrower to joint the edges of your wood when you get it set up right it work's better or just as good a good tuned jointer but i like the flush trim better del schisler

The jointer fence (I use a piece of plastic laminate) will work for edges,but it is difficult to level the faces without a jointer.
