Rockler Router Fluting Jig - Router Jig for Perfect Flutes – Spline is Easy to Custom Drill for Non-Standard - Fluting Built w/MDF, Aluminum – Table Accessories

Great jig. Absolutely fabulous. Easy to assemble. I had to drill new holes for my Bosch plunge router, but that was pretty painless with a square and a centering cone. Screws are included but didn't match the threads on my base. The quality of this jig more than make up for this one-time task. Anyway,I generally assume that with most tools there will be some sort of set up, calibration, assembly, etc. take your time though. You'll be glad you did. One great feature is that it has two yellow strips on either side of the router so you can write on to make your own index marks for easy duplication. Simply wipe off the no. 2 pencil marks for a different setup. Be sure to allow for about 12 -15 inches of extra material for the setback of your stops. The center of the bit is 5 1-2" from the front and back of the jig. After one project I'd say it's already proven to be a worthwhile investment. I couldn't make a better jig in my shop. Suffice to say, this jig rocks. Get one. You won't be disappointed.

As a novice woodworker, I wanted to attempt my first real flutes on a maple bedstand project. The flutes were to be 3 1/2" flutes evenly distributed on a 3" by 24" maple board (3/4" thick) with 22.5' mitered edges on the long axis. After spending several hours trying to make a jig out of spare wood, I gave up and decided to just order this Rockler jig. The package arrived the next day and was easy to assemble. It fit my Hitachi router and plunge base no problem, so I did not have to drill new holes. The setup was straight forward (be sure to read the instructions) and I love the ability to put pencil marks for the flute centers! Once I had everything setup correctly and the board in place with stop blocks, I was able to make beautiful flutes in short order. My only mistake is I broke a primary rule of woodworking I didn't test the bit depth on a scrap board first and did my first run on the production board thus ruining it (my bad). After quickly making a new board and setting the depth to my liking, it worked like a champ. Highly recommended if you want to make nice looking flutes!

This jig is pretty good. It worked well for me but there were a couple of small issues. One was that the ruler guide was coming unglued out of the box. This did not affect me because I caught it early. My biggest issue was that the holes in the jig would not match up to my router base. In desperation, I aligned the base and drilled the holes myself. I took my time to get my bit as centered as I could and my flutes turned out pretty good so all is well. I am glad I bought this product and I will use it again.

I have looked for a good router fluting jig for only a few months, and by turning to Rockler I am sure I saved a lot of time that would have otherwise been wasted. Long and short of it, this jig works great. In the past, I used a homemade jig and had to make a lot of measurements in order to get a decent outcome. With the Rockler jig, I found that a simple perusal of the instructions (and more importantly, following the instructions) one can make great-looking fluted cuts in virtually any wood product and it will come out looking great. I immediately put the jig to work on two projects that I had been putting off until I could get a professional quality jig. One was a work island usable in my wife's craft construction room. The fluted cuts are primarily made to add a little "fancy woodwork" to the project. Took me about three days to finish the project and when I presented it to my wife the first thing she focused on was the fluted cuts. That project alone made the price of the jig worth every penny. Whether you are new to woodworking or a long-term pro-you should consider this fluting jig for the job. About the only bad thing, I can say is that when you get a jig that works this well you will want to make the pattern or design a part of almost every project you work on. Within the first few days, I found myself digging in the discarded woodpile for scraps deserving of new fluted patterns. If you are like me, you will probably find yourself using the fluting​ jig just to add that little extra to almost all of your projects. I'm sure there is a line between overuse and underuse – and the line is probably more of a 6 Lane Freeway across – but for now everything has fluting worked into the design somewhere. :-)

This is the second one I received because while drilling the holes for my mini router the plate cracked on two holes. The plexiglass is super brittle unlike any I’ve ever used. Suggest you drill a small hole first. I had to return it through Amazon and provide a box for it even though it arrived in its original box. It took Rockler a week to accept the return and give me directions on how to proceed. . It will do the job I bought it for. Rockler used to be good quality and service however, they are not the same anymore.

This is a wonderful jig. Makes great flute and is so easy to use and very well designed and sturdy

A router accessory that won’t fit a Bosch router?

excellent jig. did 4 boards 8' long with 5 staggered flutes each. All came out perfect. Jig is easy to set up the write on tabs were great for marking set up. The drilling on the base took some time to get it aligned for my router, but knew that going in.
