I need to make a mortise 3/4" wide by 3/4" deep on 4 ends of a frame. Frame is already assembled so mortising options are limited. I made a mortising jig from 3/4" ply and needed a 1" slot to accept a 1" guide bushing which will accept a 3/4" router bit. I don't have a 1" diameter router bit so I made a 3/4" slot on the router table and then was going to use a rabbeting bit and flush trim bit to widen the slot to 1". But my 1" slot turned out a tad wide. I suppose I could just run the bushing against one side of the jig slot? I put some tape around the bushing to get a tighter fit but not sure if something might go wrong and mess up the mortise.
Any thoughts or suggestions or just redo the jig?
